You can use the black dye since it's more of a fabric an not plastic or rubber. I would still get black Angelus paint and a fine pointed brush for the hard parts of the tab. It's a simple job. Just have patience.

Got a noob question, is a white GITD sole gonna look the same as a white sole in daylight?

Looks milky.

I'd go with the paint..just don't use alot..apply thin layers

 

[youngwl31]

Thx. I just ordered some. I hope it works

This thread really slowed down. I'm only 600 posts behind

If you took a nap during MC madness you'd be behind that many posts

After regretting selling my pair of multicolors, I just got a DS pair off ebay for 300! Pretty happy

Last question Maino, if I get any of that black paint of the plastic pieces on the tab what can I used to remove the paint? I heard nail polish but I wanna be sure I do it right

If u wipe it off right away it will come off..if u let it dry then yea, nail polish remover with acetone. I have used alcohol before and it worked too. Remember to do thin layers so it doesn't clump up on u cause it will start to Crack if it's clumpy. When I do speckles I add very lil bit of water to prevent it from being really clumpy..good luck fam

Has anyone who ordered the white soles on a Kobe flyknit pair used any kind of sole protector to keep them clean? Any success?

I've seen them online for about $30 shipped and wanna know if they're worth the investment on these. Thanks

I'm using SoleProtector on some of my rare Kobe 8 and they work great! I just threw a set on the Kobe 9's but haven't worn them yet. The tread pattern is so different I'm hoping it holds up well...

Anyone else had any luck?

Where did u find those sole protectors?

Seen them on advertised on IG and websites, mainly for Jordan retros but they have a custom protector that you cut to fit your sneaker

Where u get the SP for the kobe 9?..I have some for my I.d 8s that found on soleprotector.com but they dont got for the 9s.

SP- doesn't make them for the IX, I just trimmed some up and threw them on to see if they would work.  With the tread pattern of the IX, I'm really not sure how it will hold up but figured I would give it a shot.  I haven't worn them since putting them on but we shall see.
