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

[bentetres]

Anybody know if spray painting all white AF1s will get the whole shoe looking new again? Because I've painted the stitchings white since they're sohard to clean and they came out good. I figured what if I painted the whole shoe white will it be okay? Thanks.

THIS IS JUST A SUGGESTION. I ALSO KNOW THAT IT LIES UNDER A TABOO POST. BUT WHAT I WANT TO SUGGEST IS THAT, CAN WE POST OUR PROBLEMS IN THE JB FORUM AS ITS OWN THREAD? I THINK WE, THE COMMUNITY, WILL RESPOND RIGHT AWAY. I UNDERSTATND THAT YOU DO NOT WANT THE JB FORUM FLOODED WITH CARE/MAINT QUESTIONS. WELL THATS MY SUGGESTION. IF ANYONE AGREES, PLEASE POST YOUR THOUGHTS AS WELL.

PS. AND IF A PROBLEM IS RESOLVED IT CAN GET DELETED OR LOCKED. THANKS.

-NEVER WEAR THEM.

Thanks for your perspective. However, we tried allowing the questions to have their own individual posts and what we got were multiple repeat topics.Questions that had already been answered were being asked over and over. It was mainly because people didn't know that the question had already been askedand some were just too lazy to look for it.

Most of the questions that people are asking have either been addressed or can be answered with some common sense. I think the problem is that many peopleare looking for some all-miracle cure that will completely restore their shoes. I'm sorry, but that's not going to happen.

[dunks r nice]

offline23kidd - Wow that really sucks. Not so sure how to fix that problem.

Kairito - I know some people that do restorations, and they tell me that flat white spray paint does the job, but over time depending how many times your wearthe shoes, they will crack.

 

[kairito]

Damn, well thanks for the info

I am posting this for one of my clients. I produced a short video for his product. He has patent pending for this product that goes on the soles of your shoes.It's not to keep your shoes ds, but to allow you to wear your shoes. Whats the point in having a stash if they never come out. Pics below are just screenshots from the video. The video has no sound, we are still in the process of putting the video together. He just wanted the video to be leaked to get aresponse.

[23john]

[jbug88]

anybody know how to get that old, kind of moldy smell out of Jordans?
I got VNDS XII's (Playoffs and French Blues) that smell musty.

-J-

 

[jordanfittedklique]

I HAVE THE FIRE RED 5S AND THE NET ON THE SIDE OF THEM TURNED YELLOW I WAS WONDERING WHAT I COULD DO TO GET RID OF THE YELLOW???

 

[runningfishy]

Sole saver ain't gonna do crap. Sometimes you get heel tab scuffs and what not.
I dont get why people put that toe uncrease thing or whatever. Just buy 2 pairs. 1 to please your senses, another to give you peace of mind of having a DSpair.

 

[solelifik]

to the dude with the flints u can use suede shampoo, worked wonders on my stashes, but how can I clean the midsole on blk cement 3s? I think its more paintfading away then dirt..

Hi all, I have a few questions:

- Has anyone tried Jason Markk sneaker solution? Is it effective?

- Are there any ways to repair cracking on the midsole of older retros like the 2000 retro VI so that they become wearable? Thanks
