Washed my Safety Orange Canvas Forces...

[ol whoadie bastard]

threw these in the wash for the first time 'cause i wore them to the bars and a club downtown for Oktoberfest and they got stepped on and trampled

results are better in person 'cause the pics are so dark...

before:

after:

just took the laces off and the insoles out...stuffed each shoe w/ a sock and threw each shoe in a pillow case, tied them shut w/ the laces and put the washeron gentle cycle

i don't think the color faded...i think it's just the lighting

Wow. I'm shocked they came out so well. I don't know if I would have the guts to do that to any of my canvas AF1s. Nice!

 

[npa07]

[botz luvz 23z]

they look aight but i can't do that either.

 

[houstonsnk]

Yea like all said, I want to but I just can't. Good for you tho. Glad they came out nice and clean.

You couldnt pay me to do it but they came out nice

i just did that with a pair of "laker" canvas and they came out good. gentle cycle - no pillow case - couple towels in there at same time.

 

[ol whoadie bastard]

forgot to mention i applied shout gel on the soiled areas

look at how dirty the toes were before...figured i had nothing to lose and had been wanting to do it to them for awhile

lame, around here it was nothing more than a busy Saturday night at the bars from what i saw...i guess there was drinking games and whatnot atparticipated bars downtown but i didn't see any of that while i was out

 

[ogfiend]

Oh wow....I'm sending my '01 reds right into the washer tomorrow! I wad afraid of fading, but I guess if done right, it could be avoided. Nice job.
