So right fam. I mean they have a great idea and lazy people, myself being one, will just buy it from them not thinking, cop a roll from the source and cut out the middle man. Yeah I'm definitely getting a roll cause it does works.

Does spraying krylon matte finish on the midsole of black cement 3's prevent cracking? Is it worth doing?

Where did you buy it from if you don't mind me asking? Straight from their site?

Yes... I want to try it out. Never bought or tried sole protector, not sure if the thickness is the same..

no.. It will still crack.. I tried it couple times.. You better just repaint it if it cracks..it does how ever prevent the paint from flaking.

Cool, let us know what the deal is.

Im sure he was talking about the sole protector type 3m.

For the midsole, strip give it a coat of white for primer, and then do what you gotta do with the black and the green.

for the tongue, i think you're gonna have to dye it.

get a fine point paint-pen from angelus direct get the right color green (prob neon green) tape off all the edges around the jumpman and paint it on. Its thread (the jumpman) it absorbs paint/dye . Strip the factory sharkteeth and put a pearl white base primer underneath (so it shows the neon green over it better). 

Thats just what i would do though

 

[rapsteady1md]

thanks for the post, exactly what I was looking for.

To get some clarification though, I bought some plastic bins to store sneakers I haven't worn - basically brand new.

I put the bins in my closet with the rest of all my sneakers.

Would it be best to store the silica packs inside the bin, or in proximity of the bin?

I'm worried about mold/mildew formation as my wife a year back stored her purses in a plastic bin and when she took them out last week, it was filled with mold and crackling leather (As you stated in the OG post). I want to make sure this doesn't happen to my shoes. 

Thanks

I wanna wear my bred 1s what do I need to do so they won't crease after I walk around

 

[skep]

Currently working on my XII breds from circa 03. Almost complete separation on one foot and minimal on other.

Anyone have a suggestion on how to hold down the toe box area? Using e6000 cuz it seems to hold a lot better than the barge cement, but takes a lot longer to set

SneakerShields?

 

[skep]

I have shoe trees, very uncomfortable so I haven't used in a while

 

[mou5pad]

SneakerShields?

Yeah, you need to get the universal one. And cut the side for toe comfort and some for big toe . Also work well if shoes is .5 up from tts.. If its tts then just wear it. It will crease anyway. Or try force fields ( i think thats the name) that footlocker sells. I use sneaker sheilds for my 11 due to the hassle of decreasing the PL. All other shoes i don't use ss or ff except if they are .5 or 1 up tts..
