Thanks guys. It's funny how people said I originally ruined my Concords when I first posted pics in the restoration thread with my crappy old camera

 Anywho, no the dye doesnt fade. Trust me, I put it to the test by scrubbing the hell out of the soles on the Concords multiple times with a SOS pad and even using straight bleach the excess dye. It's permanent if done right.

This is what you want to do
1.) Mix a small 1/2 cup of 2/3 sea glow and 1/3 powder dye.
2.) Mix it together really well. The dye should dissolve into the sea glow (I usually make mines a little lumpy to get a deeper tint)
3.) Take a paint brush and carefully paint the soles. If it bleeds onto the midsole, then quickly wipe it away with a wet rag that has soap on it)
4.) Let sit for 5-10 minutes
5.) Whatever is not dissolved into the soles, just wipe away.

voila! blue tinted soles. I will be making a video tutorial sometime soon. no more yellowing

 I wore my Concords several times and theyve held up perfect. Ive also worn my anniversary XIs 1 time and they havent turned the slightest bit yellow. In fact, the sole is comparable to my Bred XIs 

 

  

I have some BEAT 11s from the DMP i need to get my hand some some sea glow..... Good weekend project... Hmmmmmmm........

i have a pair but i've only worn them a couple times so i don't know...

They don't yellow, they turn a deep dirty looking blue. Not quite green though.

Read through thiswhole post and didn't find the answer to my question, but it may be answered somewhere else.

Any way, I have a few DS pair of 11s, Foams and 16s. If I Sea Glow my DS Foams, 11s, etc., will this slow the process of the soles yellowing?

I know shoes are meant to be worn and they'll yellow eventually, but I'd like to prevent it as best as possible.

Another question I just thought of. How will the soles feel after using Sea Glow? I read they become a little slipper on slick surfaces like concrete, wood, etc. This true?

Long post, sorry!! All help appreciated in advance. Thanks.

Anyone ever try this process with a different color for the Space Jams? I have a VNDS '09 pair coming in soon that's a little dirty:

So I was wondering what color of RIT dye and sea glowing would get these back to a DS color?

EDIT: Pics didn't post.

 

[rhythmentality]

WHITE dye anybody? Is it any different between Sea Glow with no dye at all?
 
I'm not interested in having light green soles trying out blue dye on piss-yellow XIs.

[ehbball88]

If I had some beaters id be expirementing. But anybody try other colors besides blue? Mixing a white and silver sounds right to me. Its time to defeat the system. Im done with yellow soles.

damn those columbia anniversarys customs are nice...Idk if i would do it though personally.

I had this Same Idea it think it would be

 

[airpeters01]

Here are my Concord's that I just finished up. Sea-glowed them a few times first, then used the RIT Dye process twice. I think they turned out great.

 

[blackcat23mj]

do you guys think it would make a difference if i use the powder or the liquid version? for some reason i have the liquid version at my house...must have been left behind by the old owner when we bought the place.

make a difference?? anyone care to share some insights?

 

[stinknani4real]

Great Job up there!  That's just the right shade that's pretty close to the OG's.  SOLID!!

Wow.  I've used those products and I can tell you spent some time on those.  Well worth it.

Those Concords are simply spectacular. Great job.
And I love how you've added little "shines" on one of the photos. You can't tell me those occurred naturally from the sun light. Or did it... ?
