yes it will. it'll turn the soles a deeper red if they are turning orange from age.Originally Posted by 310HxA

I would suggest still seaglowing to get the soles as clear as possible. the less yellow you have, the better the blue will look in color.Originally Posted by mr2cool80
Excellent work @sthebest!!! ... Might attempt on both of my SJ's. Now you say seaglow prior, if yellowing is excessive but what if its just slightly yellowed? Would you still recommend seaglowing or can I go directly into the process of what you've already described?

i remember seeing your pics in the restoration thread. they honestly looked bad. these new pics look much better tho. maybe its because you were still in the process of dying?Originally Posted by sthebest

It wont look like a hot mess if you dont wear them everyday and beat them into submission. Before you get to that point, all you would have to do is seaglow the soles to get them back to their original blue.
