Any thoughts?

wear different socks if you don't want sock nap....you can wear dri-fit socks or dress sock material that wont leave lent

get what is called a sweater shaver.  just shave the little balls off

I don't know if that is glue or what it is, but I have the same dark stain on mine which are ds.

Actually it works great on overcast days.........you are not after sunshine you are after UV's and there are plenty on overcast days.  Ever been to the beach on overcast days and left with a sunburn?

Any electric razor will work as well..........in fact I have used a regular razor to remove them (not as effective as electric and you have to be careful not to cut fabric).

What would you guys suggest for yellow pods on XIII's? Should i sand paper them and repaint them?

Yea I see what your saying, Im going off my experience with Seaglow I get better results when its a bright sunny day. And sunshine is where the UV's come from so the more sunshine the more UV's and better results. I'm not saying it wont work but it will take a lot longer and more Seaglow.  And yes Ive gotten a sun burn on a overcast day but the sun burn I got on a bright sunny day was a lot worse.

Fellas, just started wearing my og royal foamposites, and noticed the cf/sole next to it is starting to detach a little bit! What is the best glue for foamposites? The cf and material is stiff/thick so I can't imagine it holding too well! And do I sitthere and bold it in place after applying the glue or?

Thanks

Hey everyone,

Can you guys please help me with this spot on my University Blue/Black XIVs.  It's absolutely driving me crazy!  What can I do?  The pics are below.  Thanks a lot.

Edit: OK, for some reason I couldn't post the pics directly.  Here is the link though:

There is a method using a product called plus white for your teeth that has been yielding some amazing results on ISS.  Brush it on with a paint brush and let sit overnight and rinse it off and you should be good to go, btw this works on all rubber/foam white midsoles.  Here is a pic of the product used

   Yeah I agree you do get better results on sunny days, but you also get more heat which is never good when seaglowing!  I guess its a preference thing, I very rarely ever seaglow outside anymore b/c of the seperation issues that come along with it, but if you get good results thats all that matters.  And FYI the worst I have EVER gotten burnt was on an overcast day at the beach.......I guess b/c I figured since the sun was not beaming down on me I would be good to go.............BAD idea!

Patent leather is different then regular leather. Even if you paint patent leather it will chip and break off.

I have a pair of SpaceJams with sole separation, can anyone point me in the right direction to the best glue to get the job done right? ShoeGoo, Gorilla Glue? And how do I go about applying the glue?? Tips, tricks??? Shoes are in excellent condition and with the right glue and some sea glow they'd be more of a steal after picking them up for $125 off of NT a couple of months ago, can anyone let me know if its an investment or am I just wasting my time? Hope to hear from you guys soon! Need Help!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

 

[snkrhd75]

Just pulled these out of the closet...don't know where to start.

http://diaztwenty3.niketalk.yuku.com/]diazTWENTY3[/url]   Nice pickup on those Space Jams, the sole cumming off is not a big deal at all. ShoeGoo, Gorilla Glue will both work for this. Just make sure you clamp them down good when you glue them.You should Seaglow them before you reglue  because Sea glow will eat at the glue, or if both soles are cumming off you might want to try to take them off completely  and really work the Seaglow in from both sides. when you get the soles as clear as you can then glue them back on. And wait a couple days before you wear them so the glue can dry.Good luck.

 

[diaztwenty3]

Great thanks for the help! I will mos def try ur methods, also just wondering how would i go about clamping them down and with what? rubberbands?

A few months ago I picked up some OG low XIVs. Ive been wearing them a little bit but gradually I've noticed the tabs on the sides are coming up:

It looks a lot worse when the shoes are on and every time I put weight on my toes. I was going to just put some glue under them, then wrap a rubber band around the tabs to keep them down while the glue dries. Is that a good idea? And what kind of glue should I use?

Also, there are some pretty obvious creases on the toebox. What can I do to fix those?

 

[dcheek20]

^^^^Gorilla glue high impact works good for small fixes like this, and yeah clamping it down with rubber band or shoe strings should do the trick^^^
