I'm sure there are a bunch of different opinions and products but check this video out. I'm sure it works well and both products used are easily attainable. One of the products is a whitener/brightener.How to unyellow mesh?

One of the products in the vid I posted is actually the whitener brightener. I think it's the Rit brand too. I actually have a pair of 2012 White Cement 4's that are going to need this treatment. Can't wait to give it a shot.Full wash/soak with Rit whitener/brightener Oxy clean white HD Vinegar and Baking Soda if theyve been worn followed by a rebluing soak with Mrs Stewarts bluing dye.

That’s actually good info for those looking to whiten yellowing areas. I’m actually looking to do a pair of white cements so I may look at other products now that you say this.I don’t know about all of that Rit ****. Tried it on my 2016 white/cements (worn less than 30 times, just yellowed naturally), scrubbed the hell out of them with it. Didn’t make one difference.

^^^^ Rit is indeed useless, then, as I found. Who cares about getting the fabric behind the mesh white when the plastic mesh itself is what yellows more than anything? That's like having on spotless underwear beneath mud-covered clothes: it's better than nothing, but doesn't really address the front-line problemthis method will work if its the fabric under the mesh, it won't touch the plastic mesh when it comes to whitening. the only method I've seen a lot of restorers do is just paint the mesh. but if you use angelus though its thick paint that will clog the pores of the fabric under the mesh filling the holes in it that changes the way it looks. I've used other airbrush paints like createx that will work well, you can dilute it with water and use very thin coats that won't clog the pores in the fabric but you need to use adhesion promoter for the plastic mesh for it to really last. salon 40 or 50 might work but I have not tried that yet.
The post you made on the Bred forum was mad in depth I took a screenshot for when my Concords get all beat up appreciate it, if you feel like it post a video up on YouTube for the lazyIll say again. Wash SOAK. People have to keep in mind shoes are just fabric, we wash/soak clothes to keep them up or renew.
Did a write up dropped in the BRED thread which is roughly my full process currently ran. Feel free to copy and paste to maintenance thread:

Really considering it since ive yet to see something hitting the essential points and have one pair that needs retooling. Ill get a couple more pre/post shots posted with the pair thats already finished. Just recently finished a pair of 2013 Grant Hills that were yellowed as well that came out beautiful. Thing learned the hard way over the years is that shoes need conditioning just like any article of clothing. It helps to strengthen the fibers rubber leather etc to keep them looking great especially because i wear all of mine.The post you made on the Bred forum was mad in depth I took a screenshot for when my Concords get all beat up appreciate it, if you feel like it post a video up on YouTube for the lazy

I wouldn’t even sell em, they just don’t seem worth it. We’re moving in two weeks and they’re going in the trash.someone would pay you for those I bet
A couple hundred dollars “doesn’t seem worth it”?I wouldn’t even sell em, they just don’t seem worth it. We’re moving in two weeks and they’re going in the trash.
