^no man, the soles aren't cream colored. it's white. so you're gonna need white angelus paint. get the bigger bottle of it, also. you'll findthe need to paint other shoes that need touch-ups, so it's always handy to have. by the way, go crimson tide in '09! my school.
^^ you're gonna want to clamp the midsole areas that you're fixing on your xi's.

^ might want to try the rit black dye for clothes. i think it should be good enough so it won't wash out. runs about a couple of $'s.

- I was considering using Ziplock bags for some of my Jordans with icy soles.
My question is, is it safe to do so?
I wear a size 10, so what will be the right size Ziplock bag to buy?

^Theres not really a safe way to store kicks.What most do is put silica pack inside the ziplock bag with Icy Soles, but the problem with that is that sooner orlater your kicks will become unwearable. The silica packs will suck all the air out of your shoe and when you do want to wear them the paint will crack (V,VI). So if you decide to keep them kicks DS, then putting them in a ziplock bag is the best way to go. If you plan on wearing them, then dont put to manysilica packs in that bag.
PM me, You can do it yourself but it takes time and skills.

^ never liked the ziplock bags for shoes. it just dries up the shoes a lot quicker and dries out the glue, also. just leave them in the boxes and store awayin a dark closet.
^^the bleach thing doesn't do crap for removing the yellowing from the patent leather on columbia's. just makes the shoes smell like bleach for alittle bit. something we just have to accept i guess. it sucks but what can you do.
-yellow mesh on iv's- oxyclean is the safest thing to help clean up that area.
-smudge on shoes- might want to try goof off. got to be careful when using it.
-grapes- just restore them on your own. it's not as hard as you think. plus you'll get good at it and will want to restore other shoes. just read thebeginning of this section for what cleaners you need.
- coke spill on 1's- yeah, you could throw it in the washer, but try to clean it first with shoe cleaner first. go about using some other cleaners beforeyou use the washing machine as a last resort.

I just checked some DS Penny's and the air bubble has fog in it now. I tried the blowdryer on low and it didn't do anything, any other suggestionsbesides using warm water.

^angelus paint my man. get the exact color for your shoe and see if they have it available. if not, you're gonna have to do a paint match at lowe's orhome depot. that way you can find out what colors you might have to mix to get the right shade.

I think those penny's r done buddy, whenever the air bubble isnt clear anymore, its a bad sign. I think there is a leak and moisture got inthere from sitting so long. someone correct me if im wrong. People please wear your shoes.

They aren't done, my Air Trainer Max's which I wear significantly and keep clean along with my freshwaters that I haven't even worn yet also hadthe built up moisture. I tried a fellow NT'ers method of wiping the outside moisture gently with my finger and removed a majority of the moisture. Also Iremoved all the moisture from my freshwaters. I need to get some silica gel packs ASAP!!!
