:::OFFICIAL SNEAKER CARE/MAINTENANCE POST::: (It's back!)

[filly413]

I was goin through past pages and I saw a couple of questions on tissue paper in kicks and how to prevent creases. Just some insight I usually throw the tissue paper out as soon as I get home and use the bag the store gives me (Nike bags work gr or you can use grocery bags, two usually works for me I only wear an 8-8.5 so I dnt need much, jus stuff to your liking. They'll form to the shoe, you dnt have to worry abt them yellowing your shoe or turning into dust, and you can never run outta bags. Picked the method up back in H.S and I noticed I haven't dealt with creases since. Try it out. One

Try shoe goo. I use it on my Concords (for both outsole and midsole separation).

I use worm water and a little bit of dish soap scrub them down then dry with a towel. Just make sure to dry them off completely before putting them back in the box. I even put a fan blowing on them just to make sure there dry. Clear soles will yellow no matter what you do, I personally don't think washing them with water makes them yellow any faster as long as they are dried completely.

is there a relatively easy way to fix yellowing on the netting of grapes?

 

[buggie fresh]

Anything more effective than soap/water and a toothbrush? To clean white shoes. I gotta clean my Olympic VII's but soap and water has only cleaned them up a bit. Also, anyone know how to get rid of the yellowing in the front of the sneakers? Thanks.

 

[SteveSteve72]

^^ What part are you trying to clean? If your talking about the mid-sole and the bottom try Mr clean magic eraser. For the yellow in front you will have to sand it down and repaint it.

can force fields be taken out and used for other shoes, or will the adhesive be gone?

they lose some adhesive but my boy doesn't take the tape off and keeps changing them but my advice is to invest in some shoe trees for around the same price

  

 

[shortyoscart]

i heard baby oil can keep your suede looking buttery and new any confirmations?

 

[teekay]

Bought these few months ago DS and the sides that was faced down has yellowed on the straps
is there anyway to fix this? there is also cracking on the midsoles from only a few wears I guess painting would be the only way to fix that 

also yellowing on the jumpman logo on the back

 

[majornvmminor]

so the other day my gas peddle did THIS to my shoe

any solutions????

 

[blacklion23]

^^^ I can't tell, but if that is paint(or some other mark) and the patent leather is not chipped, use fingernail polish remover. Worked on my 11s and my 19s.


I was one of the dumb butts that thought he was buying a exclusive cw of the 9s when I shouldve bought the Olives. Anyway to get the dye off?

For that scuff mark on your Space Jams use Champs Scuff Remover...works wonders!

 

[swishasweets]

On my OG concords the patent leather is beginning to crack and i when i bought them the patent leather felt dry and stiff, is there anything i can use to moisturize the leather and prevent any further cracking?

I need some help on Lightning IV's

I just got them in the mail and as you know they are all yellow suede. The problem is there are alot of dark marks on them. I've used the suede eraser and it does NOTHING. I've used three coats of suede cleaner spray that foams....NOTHING. I have read that you can use vinegar or even a regular pencil eraser? I want to restore them to be the bright yellow that they're supposed to be instead of so dull. Thanks
