Nah for real...

It's not funny! I got a crazy deal on them.

 

[joe billionaire]

just use the silica packs and that should take out odors over time.

unless u want to risk dumping them in the washer

also u can change out the insole


what does the shoe stink of cigs that bad?

[blackcat23mj]

for cigarette i suggest just getting those odor balls for sneakers or some air freshner

 

[chueco dtb]

Could you possibly wear a pair of 99 black cement IVs if they have a little crack on the midsole. Could you put a special type of glue to fix them?

 

[xkrispyeli]

Is there any way someone can sent me the pics on the creasing because for some reason they do not open.

pm me

thanks

Do you apply the seaglow just like on the Vs and leave it in the sun?....I have a pair of Penny 1s, and the bottom part of the midsole is yellowinga bit...any info on how you did it would be appreciated

Brought out my spizikes from the box today and saw this:

will this peeling get worse, or is it pretty much contained to this one spot? Everything else on the midsole looks just fine (worn 3 times), but I'mwondering if there is any sealer or paint I can fix this with so it does not spread

[airjordanjack]

Is there a way to clear up airbubbles such as the ones on the IVs? Thanks for everyones help.

 

[i love af1]

TheKid973 - Febreeze Anti-Bacterial spray does wonders for removing nasty odors.

kings castle - Read the label next time. As for the stains, I am facing a similar dilemma as well, and would love to know the solution. Here's a pic of the stain (AF1Mids w/Suede)

northparkblind - Mr. Clean Magic Eraser and a lil elbow grease (if those are scuffs).

airjordanjack - you can use a blowdryer, but I've heard people saying that weakens the air units and makes them pop.

 

[airjordanjack]

I Love AF1 - I have heard of this tecnique but these are already barely wearable, so i dont want to try that lol. Thanks though.
