Kind of off topic and not sure if it's okay to put here so mods please move if not. I just noticed my Concords have some weird stain on em.

What is the best thing to clean this off with? I know some who use the Mr Clean magic eraser but is there anything better/safer to use on this material?

If it's on the mesh, use Rit whitener and brightner, as well as their stain remover. Should work.

If on the midsole, any basic sneaker cleaner/magic eraser should work.

And what do you guys use to keep the soles from yellowing? I know SeaGlo is a cleaner but any preventatives?

Came in too. Paid a steal for these. Just gotta clean up the midsole and donee.

np man got you

Need Alp to help me find some extra fragglemeyers after all star weekend. Don't know any sneaker folk in NY, so i don't trust random CL deals.

I'm basically done now. All pairs I helped nters with were either mine or ppl I trusted.

 

[johnny250]

If anyone is looking for pairs and got the dough, solestage got many pairs for like 900.

Gahhh okay. I'm going to be there week after ASW, so hoping seller will still have some stuff to sell that they stocked up on.

I own Fragment 1s. No way in hell they are better than Banned 1's to those saying so.
Only people saying that are people who paid excessive resell looking to justify their personal purchase, because if you own both, its not up for discussion in reference to quality.

legit sellers are holding onto pairs now for the most part. With all the fakes you gotta be really careful if you're in the market for these, and it's only gonna get worse as time passes

Yep i understand, which is why im hoping not to deal with a complete random. But i do have my own pair to compare to.

Trouble is the material and quality vary widely on fragments. The logos, leather etc all different.

AMEN

Its ludicrous to say that. I'm all for everyone entitled to their own opinion, but these better than Banned 1's?

 

[witnesskb24]

Lawd some of these comments

Niketalk shoes coming 2016

 

[bwood056]

But similarities to Original form.

Fragments > banned

I def agree with this statement in terms of quality. However, I prefer the mold of the Frags over Banneds and I'm sure a lot of true 1 enthusiasts would agree.

Banneds are on another level though! If only every JB release had that quality. Kicks are absolute perfection

What are you looking to pay?

 

[retro707]

ALP, thanks again bro. smooth easy transaction! I will leave feedback when I get home.

I cant wait to rock my frags ! Maybe even tonight..


Is 2013 royal and bred 1s VNDS sz 11 worn 2-3x each for 750 a STEAL?


thanks

 

[mrsnkr]

Good to hear that more NT'ers are getting their fragments. Like BoostHog mentioned, the quality does vary a bit per pair. Sometimes the frag logo is embossed really lightly on the right pair, or sometimes the leather is a little wrinkled, and I have seen a pair where the stitching went around 1 to 1.5 cm above the swoosh.

Not a bad price for both. 

 

[erntheman]

No quality wise will ever compared to the banned 1s but the fragment mold rivals none

 

[erntheman]

Banned1s, then Royal and frags tied

 

[antdon]

How many pairs of frags did you have? And what price range did you get NTers them for? Respect for looking out for everyone btw. Hard to come by nowadays!

Banned's leather and softness is head and shoulders above EVERYTHING else, but the complete package of the Frags, especially the mold is just too classic. It's like the entire shoe came together perfectly.
