Jordan XI Breds OG (1995) Fading Sole Issue

[kembawalker]

Hey guys. I currently found my old og breds xi and it got some fading issues wit the sole making the red soles look like orange globs. Anyone got an idea on how to make them red again?

So this is basically yellowing, but since the bred Xi's have a red sole, it turns orange instead of yellow. Im not sure if you can make it red again, but you should ask here: http://niketalk.com/t/15471/official-sneaker-care-maintenance-post-its-back/5220

Go back in time maybe ?

It's gonna happen. Especially when they're worn as much as they look like they've been.

Maybe try dyeing them ?

The shoe is damn near 18 years old. Don't you thin it's time to let it be? They aren't meant to last forever

Yeah they're pretty busted. Aight. Thanks guys! Will visit the thread and try dyeing/time travelling LOL

It's a testament to the quality of OG Jordan's but I think it's time served at this point...Let those things go...

perfect 01s and OGs are still easy to find if you got cash, concords is another story.

Painting is the best option. Like a translucent red.

Bury them in the ground fam.

They had a nice run.

Not true my 01s are just as new as my 12s.

quality/comfort/texture of leather>>>>>>>>12
