Do you take orders? Tried getting through to those Air Legends guys with no avail. Have a few pairs of LeBron IIs that need the soles reglued.

not to jump on Doms thread with advice but i dyed my clear soles on some XIs and you would have to find and make whatever color dye powder you want to make the sole to be then mix it with water. I made mine very gritty so that it was not fully dissolved in the water and then i got a paint brush and painted it on the parts i wanted dyed and let it sit for an hour and then slowly and carefully removed the dye that was left over with water making sure that it doesnt get on any other part of the shoe then you will be done. It is a tedious process and takes patience, i would practice on beaters first then go onto the shoes you want and if its something you will paint then i would dye it first so if you do mess up you can always cover it up with paint since you will paint it anyways.I want to make them into the gum color. The reason I mentioned the sole cleaner is because some people mix the sole cleaner with dyes or angelus to make it a certain color.
Anyone know where to get red sole dye?
Appreciate it man!Dom you got some of the best sneaker customization/restoration in the GTA.
Hands down!
Anybody know how to make the red sole dyes? $30 is a fair price I guess, but that's a pair of kicks if you know where to look. I'd love to know how to make these.Instagram: Fbccnyc they sell it for $30
Thanks bro!Dom just stopping by. Keep up the good work.
Try either Lincoln ez cleaner or jason markCan you tell me only one thing?
What are you using to clean the suede ( bred 4 , infrared 90 and varsity 6)?
Thank you very much! Amazing work! Greetings form Europe
those black 11s are kinda hot.
Anytime, I feel bad I dont get as much time now to update the thread but I tryamazing as always, keep it up! and thanks for sharing
Yea, Ive heard some bad custom stories
This dudes amazing.. too bad we USA'ians cant send stuff to ya and i know Customs would tear us up in the process..
Hmm, I would say maybe "blue" or "sapphire"
whats the closest Angelus paint to 2013 Royal Blue 1's? Thanks in advance.
It really would depend. If they dont need much work you might be better off trying to restore them yourself.dom i got a pair of Melo 2s. solid condition. actually not too bad. if i sent them to you how much would it run me?
if its outta budget could u lead me to the right products?
Hey!Just got these in for $160 and i'm sure i overpaid for some beaters, but whatever, i wanted that NIKE AIR.
After browsing this thread, i'm sure i can bring these to life with a little effort.
Fixes I need to do:
- midsole repaint
- glue midsole separation
- repaint NIKE AIR
- possibly retrobrite the toe
Peabrain, i need some advice:
- Which step should i do first: reglue the midsole or strip & repaint the midsole?
- What glue do you recommend to reglue a big separation? Any other tips on fixing separation?
- The leather is kinda dull. Will leather feed/conditioner help "brighten" up the leather? If so what brand do you recommend?
- The elephant print is a bit dingy and the black parts have dulled. How do you recommend restoring the elephant print?
- Angelus paint will work for the plastic backtab correct?
- I'm not sure if i want to fix the creases because the toebox will crease when i wear them anyways. But can you comment on how ironing affects the pebbled leather look. Does the ironing method get rid of the pebbled look?
Pretty sure these are legit but i midas whale ask here too.
Legit?
