Official Air Jordan 1 Retro High Thread Vol: Best Model/Thread

[Deleted member 107398]

I might try a vinyl/tire treatment, bc it seems like it faded, but didn't? Idk if that makes sense. It looks fine when wet, but when it dries up its faded. Maybe leather conditioner? Idk I'm getting tight.

Vinegar

Not that I know of, I had one shoe that got ashy/discolored over time, I rubbed a bit of vinegar on it and it brought the color back...the smell is extra strong though and i can't speak on the longevity of it. Honestly just make these beaters and try to come up on another pair

I've used leather conditioner on older shoes that felt a little dry and it helped a lot. I also used it in my 2013 royals and those really benefited from it

 

[kilroythedon]

my heart hurt after seeing those ones.

I hope that comes off but I don't think it will it looks like it settled in the leather, that looks like something you wipe off the shoe gets back to normal and then it appears again. Must have been a bad batch of crep

Despite how poorly written dudes post was, he's right.. They aren't full grain leather boots/dress shoes/loafers people.

My gf sent me these, since I'm still out. She used the crep wipes and they seem to be coming back to normal. She said they've been dry like this for a while. TG

Wow. I'm glad its working out. I sprayed water proofer I picked up at Finish Line a while ago and never had an issue.

Kinda interesting to read such contrasting views on different methods of people taking care of their shoes.

The Best Cleaner or Protector for your shoes is an Extra Pair

1 to Rock, 5 to stock

[imui for2oh]

Damn those vachettas look good! sohoguy I wish I hadn't let mind go, sadly never even got them on my feet. bballermarkie don't you have a worn in pair?

 

[njavier03]

The only things I do in terms of sneaker care are crep protect and crep wipes for cleaning. Other than that, they're worn on my feet, so they're bound to get messed up eventually.
