here's what you need to know. like andfattoo said, mr clean magic eraser will help in removing some of the marks and yellowing. but if theback tabs are badly yellowed, then the magic eraser will not help. as far as repainting, clean off the tabs with acetone and just get white and fire redangelus paint. the white paint for the tab and the fire red for the jumpman and "air" on the tab. just make sure you tape off the other areas on theshoes so the paint won't get on those areas. any other questions about this, pm me.

i don't see why would a frozen ziplock bag mess with the glue as long as you keep an eye on it

I used some bar keepers friend on a pair of my XI's. They were fine at first then the next day there were some black spots on the mesh. Not sure how ithappened but it did. So use with caution especially if you only have one pair because if I did I would have been heated!

If you dont allow the shoe to breathe, it will dry out the glue and the shoe will separate.

^^^ sorry man but im in the process of trying to get the black out so I didn't take pics. Plus I am using seaglow too so if it doesn't come out im notwasting my seaglow. I am going to try something I saw in walmart that is used for stains. I would definitely not try bkf again and i'm thinking that it maybe too strong especially for a shoe that old but I was pretty shocked how much of the shoe just started turning black since it was cool the day before. I waslike %%$

Use some shoe goo... pretty much the best thing to use.
And sosmoove, I think the inside lining dyed the mesh black, happened to someone else on here I know.

best thing is to repaint with angelus paint. use some acetone first before you apply the paint on the leather as the acetone will act as a primerfor the paint.

jakecuevas- only thing you can do for the pods on the xiii's is to sand the pods and repaint. nothing else seems to work on getting this area white again.same thing applies to the playoff xii's that everyone seems to ask about getting the soles white again due to yellowing.

Hey guys, where can I ask about care and maintenance about the Air Yeezy? Or perhaps anyone can help me here.
I got my tan yeezy, and the tan leather part tends to get a bit dark easily due to dirt and dust. What do you suggest I should use/do to clean and maintainthat leather?
Thanks in advance guys!

How big of a factor, if any, is the sun's UV ray intensity from region to region on the effectivness of the sea glow?

yep. sand with a fine grit paper to remove the yellow layer and then repaint with angelus.

yes. this is what gives some people a "boner" when they sea glow their xi's. the blue tint is left over from the sea glow giving itthat kind of og look.

it's not that hard if you think about it. a suede shoe, hmmm, maybe a suede/nubuck spray cleaner or eraser or brush should work.

the trick to sea glow is making sure there is ample sun light to allow it to work properly. so the intensity doesn't factor in. just make sure there'splenty of sun light and not overcast looking outside. if you can do it on cooler days where there is sunlight this will help you out more so the heat won'tseparate your soles or dry out glue.

probably just use basic shoe cleaner and maybe carry a suede/nubuck brush for wiping down the shoes so there's not much build up from the dirtand dust.Originally Posted by glitch008
