Yea it works a lil. I should have taken before and after pics of my first red jewels. It made a difference.
And like looney said Jason Markk works really good ive heard. Deff worth the $25. I plan on copping next week.

i got em but u wont find the busy p @ retail prices. if u do consider urself blessed!

 

[rapido27]

Umm yeah I wasn't asking for a Busy P for retail, I'm offering it to anyone for retail.

 

[skep]

ooh damn lol well that should be an easy sale! i decided im keeping my pair. ill update my sig with a diff pair, maybe my DS pair of LT's

 

[shawn504]

never liked busy b much but props for offering them for retail

 

[rapido27]

Yeah someone picked them up. I mean, when I had 17 pairs to begin with, I'm not gonna try to make a profit on all of them.

mr clean erasers are good for dingy midsoles...but not yellow(well not im my cases)...and they always fall apart thats very messy but effective way to get yourshoes nice and clean

 

[skep]

so if the eraser isnt good for yellow soles, is ANYTHING good for the yellow sole??

getting shoes from japan has always been an ordeal. i had a friend of a friend who was helping me for a bit but quickly grew tired of my incessant requests,then i started using an overpriced bidservice until zhi started helping me, then zhi moved to china and i was stuck again. all this time, there was a guy herein hawaii that had been importing car parts and other stuff from japan. he agreed to help me out and said he would charge me a $10 fee per shoe - an amazingprice imo. on top of that, my shoes would be shipped in a large box with car parts so shipping would only be like $3/pair (boat shipping takes forever though).just my luck that his japan partner quit the business after my first shipment so i'm stranded once again. i wish i had started using him earlier.

this is what he got for me (hopefully this erases any bad memories of the stupid polka dot patents i recently bought).

and finally, after a few years of hunting for a pair of these at a decent price, i got my hong kongs! (came out to around $225 shipped for this ds pair)
