so does this mean the new cool greys with the blue tinted sole will not really yellow either?
did JB steal this idea from this forum? LOL!
i'm not a huge fan of 11's but that pic of the space jams on the first page with the blue sole actually makes me like them a lot more (this being said by a man who's never wanted a pair at all).

great post. i got a question, for the powder dye what color did you use?Originally Posted by sthebest
Thanks guys. It's funny how people said I originally ruined my Concords when I first posted pics in the restoration thread with my crappy old cameraAnywho, no the dye doesnt fade. Trust me, I put it to the test by scrubbing the hell out of the soles on the Concords multiple times with a SOS pad and even using straight bleach the excess dye. It's permanent if done right.
This is what you want to do
1.) Mix a small 1/2 cup of 2/3 sea glow and 1/3 powder dye.
2.) Mix it together really well. The dye should dissolve into the sea glow (I usually make mines a little lumpy to get a deeper tint)
3.) Take a paint brush and carefully paint the soles. If it bleeds onto the midsole, then quickly wipe it away with a wet rag that has soap on it)
4.) Let sit for 5-10 minutes
5.) Whatever is not dissolved into the soles, just wipe away.
voila! blue tinted soles. I will be making a video tutorial sometime soon. no more yellowingI wore my Concords several times and theyve held up perfect. Ive also worn my anniversary XIs 1 time and they havent turned the slightest bit yellow. In fact, the sole is comparable to my Bred XIs
and yeah swagga you can do it to your worn pair. if you're shoes are yellowing, I would suggest seaglowing them before dyeing. I say this because blue + yellow = green. not a good look.

Yup. just mix the rit with warm water. Be careful it started running on mine and some got on my patent leather but nail polish remover got rid of it...
