:::OFFICIAL SNEAKER CARE/MAINTENANCE POST::: (It's back!)

[kings castle]

i did read the label and i do have a sneaker cleaner for it but i picked up the wrong bottle and sprayed it on there

 

[jtb1987]

I just got a DS pair of AJ 12 playoffs (black/white). What's the best way to keep them clean? Do I need to spray them with something before I start wearingthem? I have some shoe cleaner stuff, it's one of the cans where you spray the foam on the shoe and use the lid to scrub the stain. Will this mess up thisparticular shoe? Thanks for any advice.

Hey I did read the all the info on cleaning my jordan, but I just wanted to be clear on how to clean my carolina 17's. The shoe in all is in good conditionbut I have yellowing on the midssoles and on that upper material of the shoe. I used a general amor all wipe to clean it and some oxy clean it still is yellow.Is there a good product to take some of the yellow off.

I need help. The plastic tip on my Playoff 8's popped off. How I don't know? Should I just krazy glue it back together? I am very pissed that thishappened because this will be another pair of sneakers that I can't wear with shorts anymore.

Scuff on my Aqua's I can't get out:

Should I buy this to fix the plastic?
It's industrial strength glue. Only $2.39.

I have a question that I can't seem to find a good answer to: My patent leather is separating from the soul on the sides near the front of the shoe --makes sense since thats where most of the bending happens. Do you have any advice or know what is the best glue for the job? I tried Gorilla Glue and Shoe Goo,and while Gorilla Glue seems promising, it will still open up a lil bit.

Also, has anyone tried Epoxy? I know its the strongest stuff out there, but I'm not sure its safe for souls since they bend and contract when you walk.

Have a good day,

try seaglow. it strips off shoe polish ..and makes it whiter.

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 yellowing a bit...any info on how you did it would be appreciated

I put seaglow on a towel and wiped it a few times. 3-4 seaglow towels should work. Maybe less. Do you have any suggestions on using seaglow on V's?I've tried to seaglow a very bad yellow'd 99 V. It looks to me that you need to use seaglow when DS. To "condition" the clear rubber, andthen it will never yellow. Let me know if theres any tricks I am missing.

[northparkblind]

The toe area ( The White Rubber ) of my Fire Red III arebrown and dirty. I tried Mr.Clean Magic Eraser but itdidn't take it off. What should I do?

 

[grailman911]

is there anyway to get the pink off the pods of my flint 13's?

 

[tirangmatutina]

question shoe experts.....

I place my shoes on a plastic shelve..... Where do I put the silica packs.... Inside the shoe or around the shoe?

Is chalk and calcium tablet a good alternative moisture absorber?

Is microfiber cloth safe for dusting shoe?

 

[sharp technology]

(5tan) my 6's just did the same thing. And it's only on one shoe.

" ...with water wetted paper towel"

Doesn't that sound funny?

[h2]what kind of Barkeeper's do i use to clean mesh???[/h2]

 

[jay1027]

Does any one know what glue i should use to re-glue the side of the sole back on to my og 12's

 

[ouchrislitt]

I'm about to break out my White/Stealth XX3 finally. Does anyone have any recommendations for pre-treating these so as to avoid heartache on those sidepanels? Should I be using something different on the side panels than the toe area?

I need to know the same thing, Ive tried suade cleaner spray and foam and nothing gets it dark black. It still looks greyish. Dont try the suadeeraser, it makes them worse and leaves the suade hard. Only use it if you get stains form food or saalad. Other than that, I still have my aquas greyish fromthe toebox.

I used the powder stuff from Target on my xxi's and it worked. Just read the directions on the bottle.

 

[lildrew112]

I was using Sea Glow to clean my XIVs, but it seems that a stain, or a scuff mark had developed. I've tried using Penguin Sneaker Cleaner, but did not getthe mark off. I need help y'all! Thanks in advance.
