what's up team. i want to share my seaglowing experience with you guys.
i bought a pair of carbons from joe a couple months ago with one of the midsoles yellowed. i finally got around to doing it since it has been really nice andsunny out the last few days here. WOW this stuff is amazing!

here is before:



and after

:




in person you really can't even tell it was yellowed at all.
i have a few other pairs i'm going to be doing tomorrow (hopefully) so i will post more pics when i get a chance.

 

[kevin2nd]

Plus White brand "5 minute speed whitening gel". Purchased at Walmart for $3-5 bucks.

 

[kevin2nd]

thank you! i will try the gel and if that doesn't work, imma hit you for some seaglow tips. i think it's sold here in hawaii anyway.

 

[255forlife]

it doesn't work on souls, kev.

 

[hollowpoints]

tr4nch, those turned out really well. I thought that seaglow would only work on clear soles, but I'll def. give it a try. My 96 patents are a bit yellow onone shoe, so hopefully I'll have similar success.

[gbchinn]

m tr4nch- I'm envious for those carbons.

 

[joe billionaire]

great job on those!

 

[kevin2nd]

lol. i'm resigned to spending my afterlife roasting in a toaster.

 

[r3k4hsttub]

m-tr4nch: those turned out really well! how much is a bottle of seaglow, anyway. might try to get a mate bring a bottle home since he's leaving for KL onthe 6th of may. hmmmn. i might need a bottle just in case

 

[ogfiend]

Wow. My denim lows are getting sea-glowed ASAP. I could finally wear them if I clear the right shoe up.

 

[houstonsnk]

WOW!
Nice to know you can sea glow midsoles. I have a couple that need to be done.

 

[ogfiend]

Need a hand here. Are these legit? I leaning toward yes but you never know these days...

 

[r3k4hsttub]

year of the horses, if i'm not mistaken? don't think there were fakes? looks legit to me.

anyone see those US10 roosters VNDS for $13? i was going to bid at the last minute but then found out that seller didn't ship outside of US :/

so depressing.

 

[ogfiend]

The horses were the white/red ones. I thought these were the roosters. Not sure though.

oh and...if anyone wants a good laugh:
Super rare air force 1- $500

 

[r3k4hsttub]

sorry; my bad. horses were white/red (yes, i wish i could read chinese!

)... could they bemonkeys?

these are roosters:

but did a little quick search and from what i see online, there's a monkey on the heel-tab:


http://www.pickyourshoes....ir_force_1_lo_monkey.htm

i really don't think there were 2 versions...

 

[prymone]

YEA THERE WAS 2 VERSIONS

 

[joey gymnastics]

arent those from the "energy" pack from a few years ago

 

[r3k4hsttub]

joey: absolutely right; these are the energy af1s.

knew i'd seen them before. the left shoe reads "clash", and right shoe reads "strength".

[ogfiend]

Is the inner lining on those roosters leather? I love when they do that. Quality looks good on those.

 

[maza4ever14]

damn man i wish i could find some carbons in a sz 13.

 

[m tr4nch]

thanks for the comments everyone. r3, the sea glow is about $30 if i remember correctly.

i did some more today, started on the lightnings..


before:



after:



not 100%, but significantly better for sure. might try a little more on another sunny day since the sun didn't seem as strong today as it was when i didthe carbons.
