I would probably do them in perf suede just bc the perf suede toe looks great imo
Mesh is still awesome though and the shape of mesh seems to be better most of the time

Can someone tell me how sizing is on 1300? I'm eyeing this pair on bows and arrows, have a 25% off code so I'm thinking about pulling the trigger. Should I go same size as my 1400?

worn to a dingy club late night in CLT (not my choice), equivalent to the basement of a frat house. stains/scuffs throughout the suede. did pretty much the exact same thing w my HAL GLIIIs, just cant bring myself to look at them again.
the midsole was cleanable.

Maybe try SneakersER?

yep, I've got tons of products like that, cleaners, protectors, brushes, erasers, etc. just no patience.
now, if there was a service I could just mail dirty shoes to for cleaning, that i'd do
I think Jason Markk did a pop-up awhile back which provided a service like this but idk about any others...

Have you used SneakersER on suede?
I've only used jason mark and it was pretty scary. It was on a beat pair of vans so it wasn't a big deal but it definitely changed the color of the suede a bit.

I think there is. I see that on Instagram sometimes. People will be "I just cleaned these for a client" or whatever.....

Yeah cleaning suede with any liquid always worries me

there's a handful of spots in NYC and LA, only shoe repair/clean around here do not cater to sneakers.

I havent used it personally but I know some hardcore NB heads who swear only by SneakersER when it comes to cleaning their suede NBs, especially since it was started by NB fans.

whats the verdict on reshaping perf toe 998's?
- 3,521

I wouldnt use any liquid on suede if possible. Stick with the eraser type cleaner. Very easy to F up the suede with liquid cleaners. The liquid cleaners can get the job done, but much higher chances of f'ing up the suede, much much higher.

What about Liquiproof? anyone know if their stuff will screw suede up? or are their protection/cleaning sprays completely safe to use on suede?

Smash it down slowly and gently by hand. Or if you're wearing it, toe push off a curb/ledge/stairswhats the verdict on reshaping perf toe 998's?

so don't try this technique on none mesh toes? http://www.sneakersjeansandtees.com...g-channeling-the-classic-new-balance-998.html
and I'm assuming you mean hang your toes off a step and push downwards?
thanks

Yes that's the method I had in mind but didn't know the website offhand. Don't know why you wouldn't be able to have the same results with pref toe. You can also iron the toe box for a more extreme method

I feel like the mesh toebox stretches allowing for the shape to take form.
does anyone know of the dangers involved with ironing?
I know you have to place a wet towel over the suede does this ruin the texture?
