Posting here as well because the Varsity Red VI's thread is a mess.
I got this (see picture below) to waterproof the [color= rgb(0, 0, 102)]suede[/color] on mybrand new Air Jordan Retro 6 Varsity Red/Black because I couldn't get a hold ofthe Timberland Balm previously suggested in this thread.
Is this any good?
How much of it should I spray on the shoes?
Do I have to take the laces off before spraying it?
Should I waterproof the sole as well?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yo retri I work for footlocker,and if you read the instructions on the side,you should be pretty good,just make sure your not to close when applying a good 8 inches should do it and don't forget to let it dry thoroughly then re-apply

Oh but I gotta add that the timberland balm is definitely the winner if I had to choose just putting that out there

thanks a lot twizzi.
Unfortunately the aforementioned Balm doesn't seem to be available at the Timberland stores in my town (checked 3 of them to no avail, I don't think there's any left TBH lol) so this will do.

just a quick question. Is storing your DS sneakers in ziplock bags the best way to preserve sneakers? I've heard mixed things about this method. Has anyone had any problems with this?

This sounds terrible and the smell is terrible but how do I get the smell of a dead mouse out of the soles on the XVI? I left them in the closet on the floor and a mouse must of got stuck under them and died and it smells bad. The mouse problem is solved so I don't need help with that lol.

I have seen someone around NT before that has something about "restoring shoes, PM for info" in their sig...Can anybody point me to them or know someone who does this?
Got a pair of 00 SJ's recently from a resell shop. On one of the shoes, the sole is falling off from the toe to about 5 inches back. Looks like the person before me already tried gluing it with something, but it didn't work....
Glue and seaglow and they will be good to go. I would rather pay someone who knows what they are doing rather than mess them up myself....

if you can get your hands on some angelus brand paint, it's your best bet...and you'll need duller to go with it

clean them up as best you can and put them in a box sprinkled with baking soda (about a tablespoon). In a few days to a week the smell should be gone.

if it's paint cracking/chipping angelus paint would be you're best bet.
but sad thing is, is that they don't have an "infrared" color you have to mix different colors to get it.
which i have no clue what colors you can mix to get infrared

QUESTION- Has anyone tried Contact Cement rather than Shoe Goo for re gluing soles? I'm curious as to whether it flexes like shoe gooo does.

I've used barge cement to reglue the soles on a pair of OG uptempos and it worked great; apply to both parts that you want to adhere, wait 10-15 minutes and put the parts together. Clamp and allow 24 hrs for the bond to cure and they're good to go

dude, don't forget to use gloves, mice are exceptional leptospirosis carriers and that s hit can kill you in the long run.
"The infection is commonly transmitted to humans by allowing water that has been contaminated by animal urine to come in contact with unhealed breaks in the skin, eyes or with the mucous membranes."
I'd just get rid of the shoes by burning em down along with whatever was in the lower portion of the closet at the time but that's just me.

Sorry for the delay guys. i got banned for a week, for something stupid...
anyways.
sanding with 200 grit sandpaper is best. you can also repaint.
i HIGHLY doubt it.
but there's a lot of people who do that. i also re-glue shoes.
yeah you're fine.
yes it will do the job.
Somebody on ISS had the perfect mix they claimed. they mentioned it in their Maintenance thread

anyways.
use some type of flexible glue.

pictures?
try a shoe refreshener. if you really dont care about the shoe, you can throw them in the washer.
dont really know that person is.

I got sj's & v-red VI's & I wanted to know what can I use to slow down the yellowing process b/c I know u can't fully prevent the icey sole from yellowing. I've had my fair share of icey soles but now it's time for me to protect my shoes & bring some back to life.
