Second chance you say? I’m in

Hope they got all the mold off these ....

So it sounds like the paint on the red leather is bleeding fairly easily, is that right?

Is that worse when it’s wet?

Correct! Careful cleaning them as the red will bleed into the white panels and toebox.

The red leather is weird too. If you get it wet it will stay as a dark spot until it completely dries.

Pretty much the same way suede-nubuck does.

Hopefully the plugged 13 year olds who run that Twitter are correct

I don’t know about regular leather, but the Champs waterproof spray I used to use absolutely affected the color of the suede and nubuck shoes I used it on.

Made the colors lighter.

…haven’t used it since.

You convinced not to pay resell for these.

…I was considering it.

My experience with suede shoes is that water stains never disappear completely.

I guess it depends on the type of suede-nubuck-Durabuck. I know what you mean.

But on a lot of retro Jordans they look fine when you dry them.

Never once had that problem with Champs spray. It was my go-to, and still would be if they hadn't discontinued it. Used it for every bit of 15 years without issue.

Curious if the red will bleed onto the white laces over time even without water. Like if you unlace them, will the bottoms that have been resting on the red have a red stain? Imagine we won’t know for a while.

 

[blacklion23]

Just saw L&Fs with both black and white laces in…..

Lets make the bleeding thing a big issue, maybe prices will go down lol….I know I know

Leaving these DS for a long time could be a disaster. Open the box a year later, bleeding everywhere…

I have a good solution for that

Black laces

 

[vinotwofour]

it will bleed even without water because of humidity. They bled a little onto the white laces when I laced up the white laces and then after a few days unlaced them to put on black laces and the white laces has some faint red tint even tho I didn’t wear them yet and they were untouched with the white laces in.

 

[vinnuendo]

Shoelaces cost like $5 we'll be ok lol

 

[WASHED KING]

As long as the bleeding doesn’t end up on the white panels I do not care

 

[vinnuendo]

Been about half a dozen solid wears. First of which was in some heavy rain. They're holding up well so far, little bit of runoff of red on the toebox and laces. Heel creasing is the worst offender so far. I use a shoehorn to put em on but I think driving is the reason for that.

Spoiler

that toebox rub-off from the lace panel happens on 1’s I wear a lot. With these red bleeding easier than other 1’s, that toebox is going to happen more frequently than normal. The issue isn’t the replacement $5 laces, the issue is if the bleeding is constant and you start getting discoloration on the red leather or even the white leather. Red leather might start looking like the red soles lol

With that said, these were purposely given the “vintage” treatment so the discoloration wouldn’t bother me as much.

Hello everyone I live in France do you know if this possible drop takes place in Europe?

I would love to see what the toe box will look on these a year from now.

…especially with consistent wear.

That's exactly how I felt. These joints already came looking older and crustier than my 94s, more of an excuse to beat them right out the box.
