I just purchased Reshoevn8r product to clean my 11 Concord lows and it worked great.
I cleaned them with the product then put them in the washer. Came out crispy clean. Wish I would of taken before and after pics.
Up next to clean is my DMP 11. I will not put this pair in the washer though. Just gonna clean the mesh and laces.
Thinking of getting one of their products. Did you use their laundry kit? Thats the one i'm thinking of getting.
What does everyone here prefer reshoevn8r or Jason Mark?

no idea, but Rit whitener is suppose to be added to the wash when you wash something anyway. worth a shot.

Merry Xmas all! I got a pair of suede shoes and I wanted to restore the nap and I saw a video of a guy putting baby oil on the suede/nubuck so I gave it a shot. But the end results was not good now my suede/nubuck looks darker and has a wet look to it. Any way to fix this ?

Anyone know how to get rid of the "hard candy" condition from XI sole restoration?
- May 4, 2015

By "hard candy" I'm assuming you're talking about the rubber becoming slick from excess exposure to high heat levels. If this is the case, I have no idea to "fix" it. Once the rubber has deteriorated to that point there's no saving it. But, you can prevent it by shortening Icing sessions in high heat temperatures. Cool down the soles and make sure they don't get too hot, otherwise the rubber's properties just begin to break down i.e "hard candy" effect.

Hmm. The SJ XI sole I was working on doesn't seem deteriorated at all, though. It still has that original coarse texture, still just as visible as the untreated sole. Still also floppy and flexible (I removed it from my midsole). It's just shiny/slick.
Was under the impression that it was some foreign layer formed from icing sessions. Politix76 gave the impression that it's removable although takes forever, but he and his restoration operation has/have been M.I.A. for years.
I must not give up on a pair of Space Jams.

It's gotta be from excess heat, had a customer with the same problem with his 00' Jams. I know of no way to work around this problem.

it doesn't have to be from the excess heat. it's just the property of the rubber being in the elements. oxidation/deterioration of rubber goes from normal > hard > soften > sticky.
you can see this not just on shoes, but also tires.

@Captain16 those are nubucks scuffed through the top layer. most you can do is dye it.
@kicks king it looks like the top lace loop is chewed off by pets. nothing you can do there.
