for the most part, yes they're the same. it's when you get into the oddball colors you'll have a difficult time. colors like infared, militaryblue, midnight navy, etc won't be available. you're gonna have to figure out what colors are needed to be mixed to achieve these shades.
-jakecuevas- great job on your ix's. did you just use the regular grey color of angelus? it looks like in the pic the bottle of angelus is the color grey.

I have a pair of DMP XI that are just slightly dirty on the mesh, now i used the barkeepers friend but it didnt seem to work i used hot water a small brusha tooth brush after i scrubed them i rinse them off . am i doing it wrong THANKS

 

[blaz3n]

The toe box on my raptor 7s, is uneven and lumpy.. how do I fix it?

 

[jordanhead21]

Hey guys just got these in the mail as a steal ($75) and they are my first pair of "older" shoes with a clear bottom, so I had a few seaglowquestions if you dont mind helping.

1. I was reading about people poking a tiny hole in each sole to make the seaglow work better, can you poke more than one if you space it out?
2. I saw pictures of someones columbias and they were ORANGE and said he seaglowed them and they turned like that because they were out in the sun too long,about how long should they be in the sun without messing them up?

3. Do they absolutely have to go in the sun or can it just be under a light such as a desk lamp?
4. Do you think the 4oz bottle would be enough to clear these up? They are a sz 8 and not too yellow (atleast I don't think)



Sorry if all this has been asked before, but thanks for the help

stuff the toe box and when the shape is how you want it leave it for a week-month-year doesnt matter, just until you wear em.
that should work

if you decide to use a toothbrush,water,soap? it may not do BIG DIFFERENCE...i think barkeepers friend is the best but be careful cause it canleave black marks

1. You can do more than one hole...not big holes, like a thumb tack, just poke 2-3 holes in the highly yellowed area, should be more effective.

2.apply seaglow, leave or 30-45 min....apply seaglow leave for 30-45 min.....do for a total of 2-4 hours total, and you may want to do 2-4 days or until youhave your desired color.

3.desk lamp NO, lol sun works best but i heard you can use a florescent light, but don't no how good this works, best bet is the sun.

4. yea go with that. worst posibliity you can always buy more...

Hope this helps you...

try soap and water, but i doubt that will work, i think there gone.

seaglow wont work, can't paint, can replace. idk what else there is

i would try some HOT water and soap, maybe it will help...

goodluck

 

[babycross2011]

Lol it's hard taking the shies out now because it's only one hole in the top box so if I wanna wear the vi I gotta take the 11s out first ya digg

use a replacement box, but the 6s in a DS jordan box(shoes your keeping on ice)
and put the DS shoes in the 6s box.

that way you wont even need to open the box. and then you have a easy way to get to your worn shoes...

suede cleaner or try a suede brush.

you can try soap/water and a toothbrush but if you do dont press to hard or it will rub the suede off.
