Do you still do restorations? I think i have some old concords which should be a challenge for you.

Shoot me a PM,
Maybe I can recommend you a restorer closer to you or answer any other questions you may have
good jobs man!
but can't we just mail to you and you mail back?
Technically you could but It really does complicate things,
Shipping from Canada to the US is so expensive, not to mention shipping would have to be twice
Maybe one day I`ll figure something out about out of country restorations... but for now, there are tons of other restorers better than me out there in the US, you just gotta look out for them!

Peabrain what do you use for yellowed soles? I have some Dunks that need a little love.

Hey NC,
For general cleaning of dirty soles, soap and water always did the trick
If you're looking to bring back the original colour of discoloured rubber, then retrobrite is what you need

Yea I have discoloration(notice the difference in "color" lol). Thanks. I guess I need to learn how to make retrobrite.

A couple pages back I retrobrited the soles of a pair of AM 95s I was working on to get the original colour of the rubber soles back,
It worked wonders
As for Retrobrite...
Now there is 2 ways of making Retrobrite that Ive found
The first way is with Hydrogen Perox in the Liquid form:
Oxiclean
Hydrogen Peroxide Liquid
Baking soda
Old Toothbrush (or something similar to apply the mixture on shoes)
Saran Wrap
and a Plastic Cup
Few tips:
When you microwave the hydrogen peroxide and Baking Soda, do it in 15 second increments
This is because everyones microwave is different, some are stronger, some arent
You will end up with a better consistency of gel if you do it in increments
Also, When you apply the Oxiclean, it may foam up... a lot, so keep an eye on it, because it tends to overflow
The second way is similar to the first but instead of Hyrdrogen Perox Liquid, you get the cream version
All you have to do is mix the cream with the oxiclean
No microwaving or baking soda (thicking agent) needed
Obviously the second way is a lot easier but I've found that sometimes at the sallys beauty salons that I get my Peroxide at
They sell out of the cream version fast
Also, they're some good videos on youtube of people making Retrobrite, so check them out!
Hope this helps
