What is the best way to go about upper to midsole separation in the Cool Grey Xi's?  Shoe goo? Gorilla Glue? 

 Should he apply it so not to $@$* up the patent leather? Any responses would be great!

Thanks

Any info guy's? Best way to go about applying and which glue to use for foamposites?

Gorillar glue high impact/barge glue/ or E 6000 easiest to get would be gorilla glue, and you use shoe strings or rubber bands to clamp down the area until its dry!

You need to purchase suede/nubuck cleaner such as lincoln e-z cleaner or kiwi, should clean this up no problem!  You may have to scrub at it!

Use High Impace gorilla glue, you just need to glue the and use a broken in half q-tip to apply the glue carefully as to not get it on the PL.  Clamp it down with shoe strings overnight and you should be good!

Get yourself some gorilla glue high impact break a q-tip in half and coat the glue on with q-tip.  Wrap them up with shoe strings and rubber bands and you are good

The seams around my Olympic VII's are turning yellow. How can I make them white again? Not the stitching but the ends of the leather are yellowing.

hey guys, if i used seaglow on my shoes, and instead of putting them in sun, i put them in a Tanning Bed on high power bc this girl i know works at a tanning salon, you think that would work better then leaving it out in the sun????

IMO sun is the best but its worth a try, People are seaglowing indoors with floresant lights so the tanning bed might work better . post your results 

  

 

[niquefreak94]

always good info

 

[tmcgrady1]

Any help on these?  I got a pretty damn annoying scuff mark on my low XIs.  What can I do?  Am I screwed with these?

 

[swagga so fresh]

^^ u can get the black n dirt away. but the actual scuff like the leather scuffed thats gonna be there obv. but you will barely see it when the shoe is cleaned...

 

[lenndawg]

Just wanted to show you guys my sea glow results on my CDP carmines. The sneaks were starting to yellow a little bit, so I applied sea glow 3 times throughout a day with them sitting in direct sun. The results were not noticeable until I took the pictures. I was pretty amazed with the results, and happy. Check it out. The top pics are before, the bottom are after, obviously.

 

[davey5737]

i know this is the jordan section but i dont think theres another maintenance thread and this is pretty simple i think. what would be the best way to clean the mesh and midsoles of some infrared structure triax 91? thanks

 

[doubled productions]

Good work Lenndawg, that seaglow got the carmine's looking fresh..

 

[SteveSteve72]

Nice work on those VI's ^^

 

[jedidunkz]

Damn those carmines looks great...
