No problem, and I got those silica gel packs yesterday and I honestly notice a difference in only one night as far as the air bubble is even clearer now.The blowdryer trick never worked, I guess it only works if you have a leak? Also, there was no way in hell I was going to use any warm water around my DSshoes, no way!!! So I'm glad the wiping and silica has helped.

jcool813- patent leather can't be restored on the columbia's. once it's turned yellow, that's it.

^^^white aj iv's- if the rubber is yellowed around the toe box, then you can sea glow this area. if it's the midsoles that have yellowed, try basiccleaning methods first. if this doesn't help, you're gonna have to probably do a repaint on them.
^^ congrats on getting a pair that is harder and harder to find with white patent leather. as far as storing them, i just keep my columbia's in the og box,paper and all. i threw in a silica pack to keep out any moisture. the moisture is the main culprit in turning these beauties from a lovely white to creamishcolor. and i keep them in the darkest part of the closet, usually at the bottom.

i can't believe no one's helped out some of these questions from other fellow nt'ers, but here's some help people-
laces on vii's- if you don't want to take them off the shoes, toothbrush and soap or shoe cleaner to clean off the mud stains on them. i mean, i wouldjust take them off and just wash them.
am 90's- you probably gonna want to strip off the rest of the paint and do a repaint with angelus paint. not a hard thing to repaint imo.
stains on carmine vi's- suede/nubuck cleaner or suede/nubuck eraser. if you use the eraser, be gentle and don't rub too hard. this will tear up thematerials.
dmp xi's- so you don't want to use bkf? well your other choice to clean up the mesh is rit. not as harsh of a cleaner, so if your mesh isn't toodingy color, this is the way to go.
red suede xxi's- suede/nubuck cleaner or suede/nubuck eraser.

this dude pimpjobu has contributed alot on here helping people out with their questions and all and thats defenitly appreciated.
im impressed with the results seaglow did for my cool grey xi's i kinda made a mess and got some of it in the glue seam area and parts of the soles startedto seperate, but i used shoe goo and it fixed everything up alot. the soles look way better now as well.
only problem is that im stuck with an almost full bottle of seaglow now i have no use for, so if any one in so cal needs some seaglow pm me.

how di i get creases out of the back tab in my space jams

What can be done to clean these up? And get those "creases" out?

^with the creases, i'm not too sure on what will get them out. as far as the stains, might want to try suede/nubuck cleaner or suede/nubuck eraser. thecleaner is the best one to use first. get the one with the pump, not the spray. just pump the cleaner onto the areas and use the brush applicator to scrub itin the areas. get a towel or paper towel to wipe away after you're done. this stuff does work good. i mean my daughter stepped on my carmine's todayand it had a nasty black mark on the red toe box. cleaned it up real fast. if your stain is still there, then use the eraser. be careful as to not rub too hardto tear up the area.
^^not too sure on how to get out crease marks on the back tabs on xi's. just gonna have to live with it imo.
nubuck xii's- if the nubuck is dirty, use suede/nubuck cleaner or suede/nubuck eraser. i'm assuming this is the area you're talking about that isaffected or else you wouldn't ask this.
to everyone else on here, thanks. i just want to help out in any way i can. if i know a way to clean/maintain shoes and can answer your questions, i do my bestto answer them.
