:::OFFICIAL SNEAKER CARE/MAINTENANCE POST::: (It's back!)

Is there anyway to fix the suede on these 7's? Or any way to kind of mask the chipping and cracks? At the moment it is so soft the suede will peel off my just scratching at it.
 
Now I can b wrong here... May want to wait for more opinions.... But I think u can save the 7s if u dye them but the cracking of material Idk wat to do about that

Infinity barge cement. It dries clear and is very strong. Check ebay to find the best deal, that's where I got mine.
 
Id check your local shoe repair shops and see if they can replace the toebox material, I have one here thats replacing my OG XIs PL for $75 both shoes. As for the rest you could retry dying it yourself. Just depends if you want to stick the $$ into them or not
 
When sole swapping a 1999 air jordan IV, should I get the true size of the shoe or a half size up for a donor?

I need serious help.. Part of the toe box and finger on my last shot 14s are separatting . I've tried girrila glue . what should I try now..
 
Gorilla glue should have worked fine..did you clamp or tie down the areas you glued and waited 24hrs before unclamping/untieing?
Go back to page 396 theres some videos on it too

anyone know how to clean the flight patch on the jordan 4? was speckling the midsole for the 99 white cement's and some black paint got on it and left a smudge..

i tried soap and water (that only lightened it a bit)

clorox bleach pen

acetone

but it's still there

thanks in advance!
 
When doing a sole swap, how do you get all of the old midsole off of suede?
that part of the nubuck doesnt really matter since the midsole will be covering it up.. you can just use something to scrape at it or what i do is acetone on a cotton ball it like dissolves the remaining bits of the midsole.
 
I was trying to see if anyone knows the best way to keep the blue dye from jeans from getting on to white shoes.  I wash the jeans a few times and if any blue dye gets on them still i normally just use alcohol on a cotton ball.  Anyone know any ways better to keep them from getting blue on them and any better ways to get the blue dye off if it still happens?
 
 Any idea how to save it? i found it on storage room it belong to my dad few year ago.. And now i just know it was treasure to me
