i store mine with plastic bags, i am not a big fan of paper because when you take it out, it can tear and leave behind paper residue.Originally Posted by Israeln23
Is stuffing your sneakers with paper bad when you store them?
so go with plastic, like grocery store bags.

^^^pretty sure it only works on whitening fabrics but i guess i could be wrong.
usually good for mesh materials like concords and snakes for example. sea glow is used for yellowed solees

+1 I think it is best used for mesh but still use it sparingly. And snakes don't have mesh by the way.

Your right....still can be used on snakes though (the white part) but i said that cause i have seen it used on the small mesh strap things that the laces gothrough. seen people turn those from yellow to icey white

i am guessing you didnt was out the BKF after you used it?? and the infrareds, try a suede dye which you can buy on turtle feathers i thinkOriginally Posted by Faustoxd

pics? dont think so...unless you can wash it out, which is very unlikely. or use a dye, which is very risky.
i dont have any in bags, i heard its not good because you need to let the leather breath. the older the kicks, more the rish. anything from 2001+you should be fine storing in a bag. the big difference maker is, if the shoe is wearable now then it should be good. if the midsole is soft just a little bit,is where you start taking the risk. hope this helps. if you pm me pics of the shoes, i can help you out in more detail.

paint a little sample on a piece of paper, let it dry and then you will know what you need.

^if the color is still staying like this, you might want to consider using a bleach pen or maybe using rit whitener if you're not happy using the bkf. washout as much as you can before you use rit so it doesn't counter-react. and be careful with the bleach so you don't damage the material of the shoes.good luck.

i dont have these but i would assume just use a suede/nubuck clener. dont apply to much pressure, because you do not want to damage thematerial.
8s- try a suede dye....http://turtlefeathers.net/text/angelus/suede.html
17s- suede/nubuck clener
