how the hell do i soak my XI's in sea glow if i don't want it to touch the glue on the side?
5. Most of the yellowing is deeper down in the synthetic rubber and the SEA GLOW? has to soak down into these areas in order to neutralize the yellowing. Inbad cases, one may have to soak for an hour or more with SEA GLOW?, ideally in bright sunlight.

to fill in the cracks use caulk/epoxy. as for paint use angelus paint.
have you tried suede cleaners like sprays or suede erasers? maybe a little tape and just stick it on there and pull it off possibly?
If its stated other wise, then no don't use it. but most water proofers are safe for suede/nubuck materials.
bleeding as in from pants?
not literally soaking, its more of coating it over and over until your satisfied.
are you thinking that the sea glow touching the glue would cause the soles from seperating?
well it all depends on how bad the scuffs are. can you wipe off the scuff with rubbing alcohol? as for whitening the netting there's no other proven methodto whiten it besides seaglowing for now.
there's no way of taking out creases fully from shoes. ironing will weaken the leather making the material easier to crease. stuffing is probably the bestway to REDUCE creasing. there's nothing you can do really, other than just reduce the creasing. once its creased its creased.

Does anyone know how to prevent creasing on the sides (again, not toebox) of some mid AJF 5? Every time I put mine on, they crease. I already used shoe trees,stuff them, etc.
Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

Does anyone know what a good type of glue to use on the Soles of a pair of XI's would be.

You CAN NOT prevent creasing in shoes. creases will appear no matter what. Stuffing only reduces the creases but over time will be more noticeable.

I've been asking around ISS, and everyone swears by RIT. I've followed two guides provided to me on how to use the RIT, and I've gotten absolutelyno results in getting my yellowed conc 11 mesh to be white again.
Now, I tried some BKF on one side of the left shoe, and once it dried it was probably 1 more application away from being as white as they should be! But still,everyone on ISS is telling me not to use BKF cause it "sucks" and it "ruins the mesh". Anyone have any results with RIT? Or any tips ongetting it to work welll? The people recommending RIT have experience with it, but I'm just not getting results. I did get a little of that black/bluebleed through from the BKF though.
This is what they looked like prior to any RIT/BKF, and they still look like this besides the one white side from the BKF. Is there a more detailed guide onhere on how to correctly use BKF?

Wait, I just reread that. I don't mean the toe box! I mean the sides!
