Off-White x Air Jordan Thread - Rest In Peace Virgil Abloh

The chemicals generally do have a negative effect on the shoe but it takes years for you to see that happen

I always felt like those spray protectors actually had a negative effect on the aging of shoes. These shoe are already treated with chemicals. I dont want to add more chemicals that can create a bad reaction or something. Never used them.

This LITERALLY is why I’ve NEVER even contemplated putting these type of things on my kicks. Just the notion of putting some type of chemical/solution on my shoes just makes me nervous even thinking about it. I’m good.

I think it would be fine. What might happen, they’ll stay clean for years and maybe yellow after some years? They’re already yellow

I never sprayed a pair before, but I messed up my Travis 6s the very first night I wore them so I decided to give the spray a chance. I’ve only sprayed my Guavas with good results so far. I’ll only use it on sneakers that are sensitive and tough to clean like my Off-White Sail 4s (suede, maybe white mesh). If the spray helps keep them clean for a couple years, I’ll be happy.

Fire fit from the ankles down

 

[engineer]

Hate that the black laces are so short on these. Mine are like 6 inches shorter than the sails.

 

[rainking]

Those statements are literally worthless in regards to whether spray protectants work or not. A good New Year’s resolution for you would be to use more logically sound arguments. They’ve been particularly poor lately.

You are a jackass.

Fun times in here as usual. Happy New Year, fellas LOL

 

[ireign]

We have so many shoes to rotate I feel like sprays are super unnecessary

 

[hutchie]

Arrived, very happy with these

 

[PremioBinSoleFlyUnion]

Arrived, very happy with these

Starting the New Year off right. Your going to get paid and laid a lot more this year. What laces you going with?

 

[hutchie]

Technically its a 2020 purchase which just arrived! Im undecided on the laces may stick with white for now but you guys have got some fire pics up with the other laces in.

 

[3god]

The Sail is so good I may never switch them.

 

[dawaone]

If I will ever unDS these I will go with black laces after seeing this pic on reddit

 

[3god]

Yeah Black does look great as well.

 

[headdetective]

Black looks good, but factory too clean.

Man, if only I liked the eggnog shade of the OW 4s. Every time I see people wearing these, I just hope even more that we eventually get the Blk/Red pair. I love the shoe, and prefer that color scheme.

 

[wizards23brown]

Ya I think the black laces are the way to go on these..

I could see the sprays being effective on this type of material.. I’ve used it on some shoes that I plan on wearing heavily, mostly shoes that are durabuck type material and they can be effective in repelling stains and water.

Just try it on a small part of the shoe, and follow the directions exactly. And do some research and get something well reviewed. If you plan on wearing these in wet conditions it might be worthwhile!

Saw this on IG . . . Not bad

 

[MambaForever]

Nah

That only remotely works if you’re just gonna carry the shoes around on top of that bag and display them to people you encounter
