I love your work and I've been following you on IG for awhile now. How'd you remove the stains and get the tongue on the Dino Jr's so clean?
Also, what's the reason you wouldn't apply your sole sauce to the back tabs to make them whiter? Will it harm the material?
Another question:
For denim stains how do you remove them? I got some grails of mine for a good price (Pee Wee Dunks) and they have denim staining on them-the suede near the anklw. Is there a process that could remove the denim staining or would I need to do a re-dye?
Hey, thanks for the support!
I used some dish soap and warm water first on the tongues and then to get the rest of the stains out lincoln ez cleaner.
The reason I didnt apply any sole sauce to the tabs is that they really dont tend to unyellow very much, so Its just not worth the time.
Denim stains can be tricky but if its suede then try lincoln ez cleaner. Sometimes they come out, sometimes they dont
Hope this helps!
Hi! Is there any way to remove crases from toebox nubuck ( like bred 4 or black cat)?
Your work is amazing dude!
Thanks bro!
Taking out creases from nubuck you can use the iron method just set the heat to a little bit of a lower heat and follow the same steps as if it was leather
High quality work here that's forsure. I was wondering if you could help me out. I have a pair of Crimson 3s that the paint on the midsole is chipping. Any colors I should mix to get that right color?
My man!
Crimson 3s... hmm, If angelus doesnt make the crimson colour then I think you should mix some infrared and varsity (or some type of regular red) and try
to see if you can get it that way. Paint matching takes time and patience and you wont always get it on the first try!
Hey dom,
I'm a big fan of your work and a customizer just starting out. On your ATC 2 Yeezy customs, how did you do the bottoms? Did you paint with a sole protector, or what?
Hey Myrtle,
Thanks for the kind words and I hope to see some work from you soon!
On the ATC yeezy customs I actually primed the sole and then airbrushed it followed by putting a sole defender on to protect the paint and make them wearable.
for rubber soles you wanna use adhesion promoter so the paint sticks and then some sort of sole protector after youre done
@Peabrain i have a question about these too. What color did you use for the lining?
Exactly, you got it!
I used a mix of infrared and varsity red to get the lining
Good **** on the restorations peabrain! But i was wondering , where can u find the shoe strings for cherry 12s ? What website and if eBay what size ?

Anyone have experience fixing 1998-2000 AM 95 midsoles that have split apart? I may need some insight. Thanks!
Hey, I really suck at gluing so I wouldnt be able to help you much but I do know that if you are going to do any gluing, you want to use
barge cement. Its flexible and perfect for sole separation or even midsole swaps!
Nice customs! Do those Red Tech Challenges glow in the dark??
Hey SJ,
No unfortunately they dont, at the time I made them I didnt know how to do glow in the dark soles
