1. I never said I was a true sneakerhead, I just buy and keep stuff I really like.
2. People has been wondering about my Black Toes and I didnt even end up selling them. Other things I sold I didnt even make a profit lol.

How do you get rid of the ash without using a cleaner or other chemicals?

If you use Jason Markk and have the premium brush you can use that. Works for me only the brush (dry, no liquid) and brush the suede to whichever way it lays flat. Works for me.
Before
After
Brush gently. Should work with any soft bristle brush

You do realize when you wear the shoe no matter what it's gonna look that way? All that extra dying and everything is doing to much, just wear em.

Just wanted to provide update today 6/26 Note: eleven days post release date:
After several emails these jokers finally responded and said they didn't get my size 13. No kidding!
They said they would issue me a refund BUT due to some a Paypal error they couldn't refund my money.
Of course, after reading this I immediately notified Paypal and opened a dispute claiming fraudulent activity with this seller.
For what's it worth I just wanted to warn anyone who is contemplating doing business with these guys to be careful.
I should get my money back eventually, lets hope so but maybe they have scammed a lot of people so who knows.
If anything, I hope the warning helps someone out and maybe these guys will loose their paypal account.

you guys have GOT to stop dealing with people you've never heard of.
Stick to the official retailers sites/stores. If you're going after market, try to buy off someone in your mall during release, flight club (i know theyre pricey), and I personally recommend: 23penny.com, sneakerpost.com, thesolecloset.com, and jsfordays.com. i have purchased from all of these secondary places and have gotten my shoes in 3 days or less, and got them legit checked at finishline...no problems.

No offense homie but seriously .. finishline? You do know the average retail shoe store employee in malls are just employees. You may come across a few "sneakerheads" but goin to FNL would be the equivalent of asking someone off the street.

Lol. I was thinking the same. My 10 yr old knows more than most of retail store employees.

If you don't want to get scammed, here is a for sure way. Buy them at a major retail store!!!! and if you get skunked that route and the shoes are a must have, Craigslist. Seriously, you can usually find a decent price on any release and you have the luxury of A.) getting the chance to examine the pair in person (and possibly negociate price) and B.) you receive the pair that day with no middle man and walk away with them (or your money) I tried the pre-sale route once and that's all it took for me to realize these are the only two methods in which to buy sneakers. Unless you have a connection somehow, stick to these routes and you'll never go through the unnecessary hassles these pre-sell jerks provide.

And also a side note. If its not the pre-sell losers holding your money and jerking you around on your refund - it's PayPal! From what I have read, a lot of the time PayPal can take from one week, up to 30 days! To refund your money. They do this so that your money earns their company interest while it sits in their account. PayPal gets tons of bad feedback for this reason.

You made a good point though, too many pre-orders. If someone doesn't have the pairs in hand shouldn't even be worth your money. Negotiating with someone after RD is the best way to go if you miss out for retail. I'm getting close to finding a suitable price for these then trying to talk them down to a price I feel like I can't pass up.

are the black grapes more in demand?
- 90

Not really, just more sought after because of the limited quantity, give it a couple months, the whites prices will rise as pairs slim down

yeah and it's only going to go up since there is no word on a restock happening.

The error is they don't have the money
After they tell you that, they should know you're going to file a claim, which damages them with Paypal.
Thanks for the warning. Hopefully more people learn from it.
preorders
I was looking on ebay and people are already doing preorders for lightnings.
