If it is a scuff acetone will take care of it, otherwise repaint.

What about this one? Scuffs right?

Hey all! It been a while i was here and im back at it after finishing the school so i hope i can get your help
After been using the shoe a while in school (Which was a nightmare for jordans haha) they have come with some issues but not much. First of all i will start talking about the breds 4. As you see the red rings, The toebox starting to crease and i wonder if there is something to fix it. As i know its really hard since it nubuck and there is nothing much to do with it. And the other ring is where the paint of the midsole starting to fall off and want to repaint it. So i wonder which color do i need to order to be exact (ALSO NEED FOR WC3). And if possible from europe too.
And the second big problem is the wc3 2010. They are incredible that they isnt so bad after been using them for soon 4 years. Anyways the midsole color is falling part from them aswell and needing to repaint as i said above. But the second problem is that where the rings are, The skin or i dont really know what it is, starting to yellowing and i wonder how i can fix it? The picture is little old and im currently on vaccation in poland right now. So i dont have the shoe here right now but is there somehow to fix it to remove the yellowing thing?
I think i gave you all the information that needed. Oh no! There is one more thing. I have only toothbrush and soap to clean shoes and wonder if there is a product that are better than that? I was thinking to buy jason markk but i dont know its that good? My rotation shoes are WC3, Breds 4, Toro 4, Yeezy 2 RO and Breds 1.
Im still searching for the white and black color to repaint. From europe if possible! :/ And also if there is somehow to fix creasing on nubucks?

You need Angelus Acrylic leather paint to repaint shoes.
You can find them here:
http://turtlefeathers.net/
&
http://angelusdirect.com/
Just get regular black and white for starters. Don't know if they ship to EU, but you can try to look around EU stores for angelus acrylic leather paint.
Fix creasing:
You can try this, but use at your own risk (might damage the nubuck,idk):
I've only done it on smooth leather like stated.

Nice pickup..now onto that toe scuff..ive never fixed anything like that so i wont suggest a fix, but will prolly have to use a black dye to get it to blend in some

thanks. I'm not worried about the scuff honestly. I'm worried they'll crumble on me. the seller is vouching for the 8/10 condition and wearability, but a 10 year old shoe is a 10 year old shoe.
Any precautions I can take with the midsole, besides not wearing them too often or putting too much pressure on them?
- 343
- 127
Yea just dont wear them too often being 10+ yrs old shoes...I have to do the same with my 99 Vs and IVs...i seldom wear them..eventually once they start to crumble ill have to midsole swap them

but you do wear the 99's still? no sign of crumbling yet?

Nothing yet but being that old they will eventually

There's a video of a guy doing it on the Nippon Blue Asics (baby oil that is), made them go from ashy to classy and made a world of a difference. I say go for it.

http://www.fatbuddhastore.com/spray...r-paint-dye-c11/white-4oz-leather-paint-p1188
Is it the right ones? The other problem is i dont now which brush i need, is it a special one? And also i heard that if you want it to look facotry new, u need to add duller or something like that? Is it true?
- 4,410

Yes that is the one. Don't really need any special brushes, pretty much any normal brush will work, just don't get a really crappy one.
If you want that factory gloss, you'll need to get acrylic finisher. It also helps keep the paint from chipping as fast.
It looks like this:

If you don't know which one to get, I would just recommended the normal one. Which one you want depends on the look you want (high gloss, matte, normal,etc.).

I really just want it to look as it is when i bought it. OR yeah, So autchentic as possible. So which or what should i get then?
- 149

Which of these is it ?
http://www.fatbuddhastore.com/spray...aint-dye-c11/paint-finisher-4oz-acrylic-p1190
or
http://www.fatbuddhastore.com/spray...-paint-dye-c11/paint-finisher-4oz-matte-p1314
And how do i use it btw? Should i use it on the paint directly or ?
- 4,410
- 1,807
I would just get this one. It's the normal one.
- 149

Oh okey, And how do i use it, Should i apply it after the painting or mix it with the paint?
- 4,410

Apply it onto the paint after you've painted the shoe.
