HELP..i have over 30 jordans ..some are from 8 yrs ago some more recent...i've seen alot of nightmare stories about how when you stock your shoes for along time, then break them out one day the rubber cracks and falls apart..this actually happened to my og infrareds..i had them in the closet for years andwhen they first retroed them i broke them out to floss but the soles fell apart...my question is...alot of the kicks i have i want to keep dead stock..forinstance the gold dmp package...and then break them out 5 yrs from now and rock them, how can i prevent the breaking down of the sole from happening?? ialready know to store them in a cool dark place..and not to keep them bagged up..and keep silica packs in the boxes..but is there anything else i should know??and is it 100% safe

Ok so I bought some Motorsport XX3s. The right shoe makes a squeaking noise every time I step. I hear it around the tongue (I'm guessing because of thepatent leather rubbing on something?) and I was wondering if there is any way to fix that.
Also what is the best way to clean dirt off black suede shoes like aqua 8s, and blackout hyperdunks?
One last thing, how do you clean the suede on flint viis? My mistake was that I used water and it left "water stains" on them like it does on allgrey suede shoes.

If I put my mili?tary 4s and my 11lows in the washer in a pillow case will that clean them without ruining them?

well milltary IVs. are fine its all rubber, no delicate materials on it
do not put the XIs in the washer.
try using rubbing alcohol.
shoe goo
well if its rubbing something, i think you should find out what its hitting. if its coming from the sole put baby powder on it.
for suede, suede eraser and brush
why dont you ask them?
if its a faded spot put a dime sized baby oil on it and rub it around.
for the glue try scraping it off with a knife but do it lightly. you can also try the suede eraser.

Like I superglue the front part of the shoe so my fingers had some glue on it and it got smudged all over the shoe box, is there any way for me to get it out? I tried scrubbing it with soap and water but nothing works.
toebox mess
compared to what a clean toebox suppose to look like.
Can somebody please help me? I deeply appreciated it, thanks!
oh wow big big big mistake. try hot steam on it and try rubbing it off.
lol, bleach pen? patent leather? enough with the jokes.
im pretty sure you can. its synthetic rubber right?
do not put them in ziplock bags. it just dries up the material causing it to crack when you wear them. just keep shoes away from moisture, heat, UV rays.
for creases, use an iron with a hot wet towel over the creased area.
for scuffs, it depends what kind of a scuff it is.
paint chipping, repaint
suede discoloration, if its faded apply dime sized baby oil on the area.

Okay, i'm new to this Shoes in a washing machine deal.
Should i take the laces out of my military 4s? Do I just put them in a pillow case and let it be, or do i close the pillow case somehow? And how clean willthese shoes end up looking?

For the glue on patent leather. Try using some acetone and rubbing it off. Take a little dab of it with a towel and dip and rub slowly. Don't let theacetone run into the soles cause that could be a problem.

PICTURES HELP US, HELP YOU.
yeah you should. because there is dirt underneath the shoe laces. plus it'll clean your shoe laces if you put them in a different pillow case.
they'll look a lot cleaner, and more creased.

You can try shoe cream (black) and buffer the creme onto the faded area. its used for formal shoes.
you can try sand papering it.
soap and water and hard scrubbing.

you can buy angelus paint. im not sure about the colors. this is the website to order.

and for the air bubble you can try using a hair dryer. if that doesnt work. it just wasnt meant to be.
