Any particular product you recommend? I just rather do that then have it painted.You can do the same thing ppl do to clear the yellow soles on 11s.

Retr0bright will work, but most people say Salon Care mixture is a lot stronger than retr0bright and I've only used salon care to clear soles and not clean. Don't know if Salon Care will work for cleaning, but it makes sense that it would do the same thing as Retr0bright.

Angelus acrylic leather paint is typically what you want to repaint shoes.Hey guys, I'm relatively new to the shoe game so I could really use some pointers ,I have these Aqua 8's that I'm thinking about repainting the midsoles on, does anyone know what paint brands, colours etc I need?
One thing I've noticed about white Angelous paint is that its not pure WHITE when used on non leather surfaces such as midsoles. What's the best thing to use when painting a midsole like on a white/cement Jordan III that's a pure bright white?
Might just need to add gloss which is what JB does to make the paint shine. If not it could be a mixture of whites.
Sadly the same exact thing happened to me.. Same shoe and I did the same thing as you and I have yet to find a solution even with sea glowing, magic eraser... and=ything you name ive tried its so difficult.
Very nice . My size too. I would've definitely scooped them for that price. Look forward to seeing the results.Picked these up for 200 Shipped off eBay.
Restoration project for my summer.
Does the Salon Care stuff really work?
Interesting. I was thinking about trying it out but idk.Yes. Easier and better than retr0bright.
what's the reason you couldn't get it onto the traction pods again? the pods are not painted don't see what harm can it done.
For those that ice their soles, do you guys use cutouts to cover the non-translucent parts of the sole(traction pods, carbon fiber,etc.)? I've always been doing it and it is a huge pain. Seen some people say it's highly recommended, while others say it's not. Would like more opinions.
Not that you can't get the sauce into the pods, but high amount of UV exposure may(?) damage the pods and also not covering the the other parts of the sole will let the light exposure directly hit it causing the glue to melt, thus sole separation. Idk though, I see some people do it and some people don't.

hmm...most i've seen is just not to get the "sauce" onto the pods, but regardless the the shoe will be exposed under sunlight and it's the heat that causes the glue to break down. just trying to understand the reason behind it. btw, after you clear the soles do you notice a change in the clear rubber? i.e. softness, brittleness, etc

They apply the sauce before putting on the cutouts on there. Heat does melt glue, but allowing direct sunlight & UV light to hit it will probably make it worse. No change in the translucent sole, feels exactly the same, but I only leave it out for an hour. Some dudes leave it out for 3-4 hours which may be dangerous.
