I'm getting a pair of Jordan XI Concords. What type of precoating spray should I use? I currently use the water and strain repellent from Penguin.

http://www.penguinbrands....d=leather_waterrepellent

No silicone and no alcohol used in it so it should not yellow the mesh right?

It's been suggested a few times that we create separate forum for all sneaker care/maintenance issue. This is an idea I can hop on board with and wouldn't mind seeing NT have. I've passed on the suggestion to the other staff to see what they say....

Asked a few times over the years and never gotten an answer so I don't think there's a go-to method.
Fire Red 3's are in my Top 5 and mine have cracked pretty badly so I'm going to try something soon.  I've asked to see if anyone has tried sanding down the original paint and using acrylic paint to add a fresh coat but I'm guessing that will crack easily as well.  I'll probably try that in the near future.

Here's a link I randomly found on restoring these....

Sweet, I would love to see that.

Is there something to save the back tab where it says Nike Air on the 2001


Black Cement 3's from cracking and breaking off?

Already had one pair crumble. Shoe held up fine just the back part didnt fair so well.

 

[wendells76]

I have a spot on my Infrared VI's that the paint has chipped off of the nubuck material.  I was wondering if there was something that i could do to make it look better.

What can be done to the red soles on a pair of OG XI's to get them back close to the original red?

The Armor All car interior cleaning wipes work wonders for pretty much any white material excluding suede, nubuck, etc.

Spilled a bit of Skoal dip spit on my White/Cement III laces. If I throw them in the wash, will they get real screwed up? Never put laces in the wash before.
