Yesterday's fit
I love the blue hue on these.

Great colorway on a very comfortable sneaker.

Few things I learned doing my first reglue.
When detaching the sole of the LeBron VIII take your time and slowly pull the sole back. As seen above I ripped the foam padding and it was stuck on the shoe.

Use a small brush for edges and the large brush for the big areas.
You can use the large brush that comes inside of the can but take your time.
I had to go over them again after I thought they were done because I had edges loose or more so not fully glued down.

Use acetone to clean up excuse glue but, you can avoid it all together by taking your time.

I really wish I took before and after pictures but I’m satisfied with my results. I wouldn’t say they are court ready which is fine. I wanted them good for casual wear and they are again.

I need to clean them.
