Question: Has anyone washed there canvas AF1s? I found a pair that has a good midsole but the canvas needs cleaning. Is it possible?

 

[cdub yo]

^ I had a pair of navy canvas a while back and threw them in the wash, came out fine.

And thanks for the comments on the Courir's, they're a 12.

sounds like a pass to me. if they were 9/10 i would say pull the trigger

this sounds like a bad deal to me, i'm surprised linen's have shot up so much in the short time i've been following the af1 market.heavily worn linen's for a shoe that could easily get 250, even in this market. i'd sell them and wait for a much much better deal

C Dub,

m tr4nch,

C Dub- Great pick-up!!! Need a 10 or 11. The soles look orange on that picture and I like it a lot.

Rob- Lol it was ordered before I even posted.

Matt- Collection post would be appreciated. I think you have every AF1 that I ask about...

That's an easy pass dude. Cdp 3s are good. You can sell those instead and sit on the money until you find a pair. I find 8.5s all day. If you fit 8.5 getat me

houston - fwiw, I cleaned a pair of troopers by hand and they came out pretty good. they weren't crazy dirty to begin with, but I just submerged them in asink full of warm water and some laundry detergent, and I would imagine you could throw some powdered oxy clean in there too. i used a soft plastic bristledbrush and just gently scrubbed them a while in the solution, rinsed them in running water, then squeezed/drained out as much water as possible and stuffed themwith some old t shirts to keep shape while they dried. might be worth a shot.

What are your reasons for trading for the Linens? Is it because of the hype? Is it because you're a hypebeast?

Because in all fairness you're asking if a DS/Unworn pair of sneakers (particularly Jordan III retros) plus cash are worth a beat pair of kicks.

 

[thunderchunk69]

also, Jordan 3s at this point can pay rent, forget used kicks

edit: nvm, prices dropped bigtime

, glad I got my pairs off 6 monthsago

Forget the rent bro, it's the fact that dudes like this cat are responsible for prices being so grossly inflated. Think about it, he statesthat the condition is poor yet he's willing to trade a completely new pair of shoes (probably purchased due to hype) and cash for another man's trash.
