This is on a pair of zen 11 lows. Any way to fix? Are they worth the buy?

It depends, how much are they? If they are over $60-$80 i would say no.

The plastic layer of the patent appears to be scraped off. No way to fix that

 

[genethemarine]

Thats bad...i would pass on them

 

[genethemarine]

Well theres a way but ALOT of work n not a definate. If they were mine I would try building the leather back up spitshining them with white shoe polish like I did my boots in service but its a long process and not sure if it would work on patent leather or not

Wat about a repaint? Like the youtube video where they customized the tuxedo low 11s. (I believe they were, dont really remember)

Hey guys, no matter how many times I've tried, I can't seem to iron out the creases on my 2013 Bred 1's. In case anyone is wondering, I am using a Hamilton Beach 14977Z Professional  iron set to cotton; I've stuffed the insides of my shoe to the top with a few wifebeaters, and I ironed my Bred 1's over a damp (not soaked) small towel. Is there any alternative method I could use to remove creases?

 

[genethemarine]

You have the missing section tho on the toe box area even with paint would be hard to cover up

You could repaint it, but it will never blend in. The patent leather is yellowed from age, if you used white angelus it would not blend in or look right. It would be hard to get it to shine like the patent

You should just save up and just get a nicer pair. An 8/10 pair if zen lows goes for around $150-$170. If i were you, i would spend the extra buck and get a cleaner pair. Its up to you

DAMN BRO! NICE WORK!!!!

 

[dontbelikethat]

Before:

After day 1: 2x session

After day 3: 4-5x session

Could've done more, but enough was enough and I was satisfied.

 

[genethemarine]

You prolly wont believe me but only 2 sessions per shoe. Oxidation was about the same as your XIs..i have a pic prior ill have to find n post. I used a sauce from Raleigh Restorations idk whats in it but iced this soles up quick

 

[dontbelikethat]

2x one hour sessions under sun? That's pretty wild if so.

 

[genethemarine]

2x 4hr sessions

 

[w00za]

Anyone know how to fix this? Maybe without soleswap?

And what about this...do I need to worry that the shoe will fall apart while? Or its just the glue that got brittle due to pressure while walking? Would be a shame...2010 AM1

depends on what you pay for them? they cant be fixed but can be repainted to resemble their orignal look. there's a youtube video for it by KINGOFSNEAKERS

 

[genethemarine]

If uou can get em cheap go for it and if it doesnt work youre not out a ton of $$

 

[torresaluis]

If i were to get em and repaint em like king of sneakers did.. Would you paint em white. Or white with a little bit of yello to get the vintage look?

 

[genethemarine]

Thats upto you..prolly be easier to mix some paint to that yellowish color to try and match than doing both shoes white or try some sauce on the patent leather to see if it whitens up prior to painting

 

[smookes]

How do you prevent the yellowing from the back tabs of white Jordan 3s?

Or do you let them yellow and just repaint them with the angelus paint?

There is no way to prevent yellowing. Once they are yellowed, you can use salon care 40 to make them white again

I'm not talking about the icy sol or netting.

Here's an example

How do I prevent them from getting like that?
