Hello forum views- I am looking for acrylic paint for my Jordan 5 "3LAB5." I have noticed the paint on the midsole of the 3LAB5's is sensitive and has a tendency to scuff more easily than other color ways. Anyway, I have only worn the shoes for about 2 weeks and clean them very comprehensively after every use. I have tried to remove these black scuff marks on the edges of the midsole (all sides) to no avail. The paint is EXTREMELY sensitive. I would rather paint the shoes myself than send them to somebody else to restore them for twice the cost and time. The problem is, how the hell do I find the shade of paint for my shoes??? Has anybody used Acrylic paint of these shoes or the same problem? Do you guys know where I can find the right shade?
Thanks- Oliver
If it helps, the color I am looking for is very similar to the color of the text.

Lincoln EZ Cleaner should take care of that. You can buy it off ebay.

But how do I select color? Will it just list the paint for the corresponding shoe or will I have to select the shade based on what it is the most similar?

http://angelusdirect.com/collections/collector-edition/products/collector-edition-infrared .... Not sure if Angelus based its infrared color off the infrared pack and if so it would be a couple shades darker or if they tried to make it brighter like the Og/2014 infrared 6 color.... Would buy it and try it out on paper and see if it is the same shade vro but thats just my .02 cents Edit: The color says its for the OG colorway not the 2014

Alright, thanks. Would a toothbrush be fine to scrub it with? Or a brush specifically for nubuck/suede

Best way to fill in the black lines on the elephant print? I was cleaning using Lincoln easy cleaning and must have brushed a little too hard. Any help is appreciated. Also how I can restore the grey areas(there is a slight stain I couldn't get out.)

I don't think a full repaint is worth it for just a few marks just wear them until they really need a repaint some of you guys are too picky, they're shoes they're gonna get dirty if you wear them

I want to water proof the suede part of my AJ1 New Loves. I've done this on my all black suede Flight 89s and they have held up really well. Worn the Flight 89s a few times to a club, and no stains from spilled drinks.
Has anyone applied Sof Sole Water Proofer on a leather? I'm afraid I will damage the leather part of the New Loves when I apply Sof Sole Water Proofer. Can Sof Sole Water Proofer mess up the leather? If so, what happens? Does the quality change?
Here is a pic of the water proofer (https://sofsole.com/product/water_proofer) and a pic of the new loves. Reps for all your help guys.

Would salon 40 or solesauce work best?
I tried looking for that rit product for the midsoles but can't find any.

I know I remember someone mentioning it in here previously.
On another note has any one had experience with shoe goo? I was thinking of using it to fill in bery fine cracks on the midsoles and sanding the excess off to be even with the rest of it.
