From the pics... looks like you stepped on a broken pen. If it is mold, disinfect your soles brah!

try cleaning with hot water and some indoor sun. some bleach w/ hot water as a last resort.

i been reading up and i might try to dab hydro peroxide on it, but i dont know if that will change the color or anything......if that doesnt work....then bleach it is i guess....its f-ed anyway if i cant get it out...never thought i would encounter something like this...doesnt make sense...they arent near any water source....it looks like it "spored" on there......just hellapissed because the shoes are in perfect condition, like right out of the box except for that smudge of @#$%!......

Yeah man, a little discoloration is much better than having mold especially if you are storing them in a closed box. You are not the only one with this issue as it has been posted before so I am sure there are people out there who would like to know if any method u try works out.....

I think there was a post a while back and it was in fact mold. I'd use some bathroom tile cleaner on a paper towel. That should get it right off.

Is that on the actual surface or under the mold? Can't really tell....

If it's on the surface and u can clean it, may I suggested using rubbing alcohol? If you use bleach, there's a chance it might damage it.
