Post pics, might just be glitter which is usually easy to wipe off.

You can see some white spots under the swoosh. I'm thinking of using the jason mark solvent to clean it.
 
I think that would be a better custom job anyways. Whats gonna be your donor pair?

Laser tongues. I was talking with a custom dude and my original intention was the black toe tongue but he was telling me that the if I want the tag redone like the Chicago, the black lettering would be too dark. So i suggested the gray lettering on the lasers and he was like it can be done. Won't look 100% but it will do for me.

I used an ultraviolet light from a fish tank to kill off mold that kept coming back in a wardrobe after a pipe had burst. If you're getting it, then you probably have high humidity for some reason.
You'll need to clean the box/paper as well if it is mold otherwise it's just gonna come back.

If the JM doesn't clean it it's probably not "glitter". Looks a bit different than what I've seen on my pairs. Yours is not as shiny as far as I can see from your pic.

Thanks for the response guys. I got rid of the paper inside as soon as i spotted it. It's weird because i have the chicagos, royals and balcktoes stacked on top of one another with the breds and the molding only showed in the breds. I'll try JM first and then UV and see what happens. I'll give an update later on so if anybody runs into a similar issue this can be reference.

I found these a while back at the bottom of a pile of shoes in a charity shop They were crushed to hell and all the black was mouldy. In the end I had to deglaze to and reseal those bits cos it was all spotty even after clearing it up. You might find the bits you got will still look flat after cleaning if the mold has eaten into the finish.

damn. hopefully mine isn't that bad.. Will keeping it out in the sun help? After I spotted these spots I was going to try to clean them as much as possible and then rock them.

In theory sunlight should help to kill the spores off if there is any. but moisture needs to be low. less than 50% humidity from what I read.
Re-sealing is the easiest thing to do anyway. really hard to screw it up unless you have pure 'fat finger syndrome'.

I'll give it a shot. Thanks!
 
The game royal jordan 1 will be a great summer shoe! Anyone know if its general release or Limited? Im in Canada not sure if that makes a a difference.


Also, I just recently got the bred 1's 2013 release, is it normal to be a little tight on the pinky if you go TTS
 
I’ve never once considered making customs before but lately I’ve been thinking if I can score a pair of blue Chi’s, making custom poor man frags would be cool. Seems like it wouldn’t be too much work painting the toebox black.
 
Im keeping mine as is. I learned a long time ago it's not for me. Also that box tag on a I's box is a bad decision. Guess I'll have to live with it.
 
Been off my game lately but just here's some info for the VA people in case. Raffle info for everybody coming later when I have it all together.. lot of rounds to make today. Gonna post in the Game Royal thread as well.

Creme 321 most likely will either do a FCFS guaranteed ticket (be prepared to spend retail on kicks for the ticket, then another retail drop on release date.. so basically over retail) or a FCFS on the release date like they did with Bred Toes.
