top notch work. Suede looks great too, what's you're method of cleaning?

I always see some good deals on ebay for near DS but may have suede scratches or spots and I am never sure if that's fixable so I end up passing

So I bought some used carmine VI, and there's some dirt on the red nubuck... is it safe to use Jason Markk on this?

In addition to that, the shoes smell like rancid old weed that I need to de-funk. Considering storing them with arm and hammer for a couple days. Other suggestions?

I heard teabags work as well. Put 1 or 2 unused teabag in each shoe (1 on the toe box at least) for a day.

Nice I'll do that tonight, maybe a scoop of fresh coffee grounds

can anybody help me?

 

[skep]

for all the help ive offered this thread.. youd think i could have gotten a little more response for my request. smh

 

[perry]

atleast someone answered you 

 

[sgamon]

Only thing I can tell you is to do the iron method. But try to stuff it more in that problem area you have. Try to push the crease out then iron. But I mean it's gonna come back if you keep wearing them obviously. Sneaker shields should help

Has anyone ever used waterproofer on a 3?  Does it change the color of the EP?  Thinking of using some Liquiproof on my infrared 3s, but concerned it might darken the EP.

Thanks.

Jason Markk should be fine. How'd the teabags work out?

Heard the Jason Markk repel doesn't alter the shoes.

5lab3 black questions:

Just got a non-DS pair. In pretty good shape but I have a few questions.

I've heard the 3M can chip off. Is there anything I can do to protect it? Will waterproofing spray alter the 3M?

Also - the blue soles are yellowing. Will a sea bright type product help or will that ruin the blue color? I love that blue icy sole. Thanks

Thanks. Repped.

Anyone have any experience with Liquiproof specifically?

Buy some cider blocks from Bed, bath, & beyond. Put two blocks in at a time and replace the blocks after it no longer smell like cider. Repeat the process.

And if you air out the cider they can be reused.

Saw for the first time today that the grey "wings" on my Bred 4 (2012 retro) start to yellow a little. Didn´t even know that was an issue. It´s not that bad, but anyway to fix that on grey plastic?
