For my '01 breds that have slight sole separation, are they safe to wear if the 2/3 of the sole is still intact?

Doubt it. I would assume that it would only get worse until full separation occurs.Originally Posted by jamazing

You can wear them, my OG's had some slight separation, but after a while they'll start to separate more.Originally Posted by spizike231

I'd like to know this as well if anyone can pass along some info... I'm also still looking for a wayOriginally Posted by spizike231
Hey everyone, new to this thread. Sorry if something like this was already asked / answered many times, but
I have a pair of DMP VI that I'd like to clean the sole of.. not really worried about sea glowing it to get off the yellow.. just want to get the street dirt off of it without really adding to the yellowing process ya know? Any tips would help. Thanks.
Thanks for the info. My dmps look dirty and I want to clean them but 1, I dont know where to find barkeepers. 2. Cant find any videos and 3. I dont want to damage them. Thanks again, I will look for this next time Im at the grocery store.Originally Posted by pimpjobu

only time I use oxyclean is to clean the netting on the iv's. Other than that I use oxyclean to help make retro brite for clearing the soles on the xi's. For the mesh you want to use rit whitener. Find it in the laundry section and it's safest to clean the mesh and not mess up the texture of the mesh. Barkeeper's friend can be used but it makes the mesh lose it's texture feel. It becomes not as soft.
Good looks. I have some decent success so far using the indoor method. Im doing a pair of Spacejams and 09 Eggplant foams. Im using 3% hydrogen peroxide right now but ive also heard aside the uv rays, the higher the peroxide the better the results will be.Originally Posted by JE15306
^The longer you have the retr0brite sitting the less effective it gets... I make mine as soon as imma start saucing my shoes and most of the times use up all of it. Some people make the sauce, but don't put in the oxiclean until they are going to use it. I would do this if your looking to store it. Once you decide what day to do it, you go to your batch and simply add the oxiclean.
No problem. I too just use the 3% hydrogen peroxide and it does work, but sometimes I don't have the time to be saucing that day, but most of the time its just cloudyOriginally Posted by BoutMyMoney333

I tried sea glow in the past and dont really like the after effects it leaves on the shoes. Im running with 2 of these 17 watts T8 BulbsOriginally Posted by JE15306

Btw, how much were those indoor lights that you have? I believe fluorescent is the best because of the UV rays. Might look at an indoor setup, because it's secured and you don't have to worry about the weather anymore

now are we talking about just the sole or midsole? Either one is a easy fix with barge cement glue. Just regular the affected areas and use rubber bands or shoe strings to tighten the area closed. Let it dry for a day, reapply if necessary. The barge cement will work because I had midsole separation on my snakeskin xi's and used this to fix the problem.
From experience the soles got dirty VERY easily after I sea glowed them and they seemed to turn yellow even faster afterwards. And it is true that they lose traction, I used to slide all over the damn placeOriginally Posted by JE15306

Might look at an indoor setup, because it's secured and you don't have to worry about the weather anymoreExcuse the ignorance but all that I know of is sole separating which can happen with any kind of cleaner as long as the shoe gets hot enough. I've "Heard" that they loose traction, but never experienced it myselfAlso, do those 2 bulbs seem to get the job done? Do you notice the yellowness go away significantly? Sorry for all the questions but I have some shoes that I've been trying to restore for a while and the homemade retr0brite isn't as potent as I thought it would be... Have to put a lot of hours to see big changes.
