Adidas Classic Shelltoe left shoe outer before and after. Let me give you guys a little back story on these. Bboys are known for being really hard on there shoes and to make it worse on this pair. The guy used white shoe polish to try and keep them white and caked them on the fabric stripes, midsole and notice that its caked on the stitching. There is also a huge black scuff on the leather. I fixed the stripes, leather scuffs, midsole and stitching. I personally love bringing back Classics. Stay tuned for what else is being done.

Hi Politix! amazing job on all these sneakers. I need some of your expertise, unfortunately it would be very expensive for me to send my sneakers to you since I'm in Mexico. However, I hope that you can point me in the right direction with these. My Lebron IX's have a problem. I use them for indoor balling but the flywire mesh has yellowed a bit. I clean them with anti-bacterial liquid soap and a 3M green pad. After about 6 or 7 wears they look like this
Some guys at different threads recommended me to clean with oxy-clean, hot water and a toothbrush. They look like this now
I was wondering, what would be the best thing to whiten that mesh, or, should I paint it black? If so, what would you consider to be the best paint for the job? I was considering Tamiya's spray-paint, used for plane and train models. What do you think?

Haha sure. You really need to look at the pictures carefully. If I was doing that. I wouldnt still have a business nor would people send me there shoes. Please do some research before you make a dumb comment.
