Seaglow Foams?

[destination kicks]

Has anyone here tried to SeaGlow their Foams? I'm interested in a pair of the Royal Foams but they have yellow soles and I'm curious as to whether ornot using SeaGlow will help the soles.

 

[916]

it helps

 

[othelloxtwon]

why not =)

 

[swooshaholic]

sorry guys. where can i buy this seaglow?

 

[sneakerjunkie]

^^^seaglow.com lol

 

[2 gun gibbs]

I hear seaglow is the truth, but I also heard that it can ruin a pair of kicks too. how do you use it? anyone got before and after pics

Of course it will work...only problem I've had with sea glow is it makes the soles slippery.

You also have to be careful how you apply it, I would reccomend to not get it on the foam, and also don't leave the shoes out in the hot sun because it canheat up the CF plate and warp the sole and melt the glue.

You can buy it at islandgirl.com or something like that.

thats pretty much it.
its a boat cleaner that does wonders on clear soles.

[font=Arial,Helvetica]A 4 Oz pack is enough for one set of sneakers, one or two dorade vents, a fender or a vinyl cushion. It is alsouseful as an anti-aging conditioner after initial cleaning byISLAND GIRL Pink[/font][size=+1][emoji]8482[/emoji][/size][font=Arial,Helvetica]or for giving additional UV protection to new white or bright-colored vinyl or hypalon. [/font]

Basically, it reverses oxidation (yellowing).

It works on Foams but I have had to use multiple doses on mine. Also, to prevent or reduce the chance of slipperiness, they recommend washing with tap waterand a mild detergent after the SeaGlowing process as it removes excess SeaGlow.

the slipperiness that is associated with the application of seaglow, does it go away with wear and time or is it something that lingers no matterwhat?

 

[mbilla4rilla]

If the slipperiness doesn't go away, you can always hairspray the soles a little.

 

[bling bling slim]

Sea glow Works? Word..Ayo Does Anyone Knows What type of paint to use to fix up some foams?

 

[kobe4ever8]

I still need to buy myself a bottle of those seaglows. I have a few pairs of XIs that have yellowed soles.

 

[solesearchin]

It works... just kinds makes the soles a little slippery as said ^^^... I will have to try hairspray to see if it gives them some stick again....
You have to use it several times but it will work in the long run, don't expect yellow soled to be ice right away again...

 

[cubby12345]

Has anyone ever used Barkeeper's Friend on their clear soles? I know it works wonders on the upper of the XI's and other white surfaces... I'mthinking that it could be used to PREVENT yellowing before you reach the point of no return and have to go for SeaGlow. lol

 

[kicks4days]

SOrry for grave digging but any pics of seaglow on Foams?

 

[rod301]

Does Any One Have Pics Of Seaglowed Foams.? (Good Or Bad Outcomes) I Havent Really Seen Too Many Failed Attempts On Foams That Ruined The Shoe...

 

[shu man fu]

all you have to do is search seaglow on youtube there are tons of vids on before and after and how to apply it

Im assuming theyd look the same as the XIs. All the videos on youtube about seaglow are Jordan XIs and Vs. I have yet to see a foam video. Although i did see a foam video where dude but them in a washer...

 

[thrudwire]

I sea glowed my coppers last month. A few pics are below. I was also wondering what it was like to sea glow foams because all I found was advice on J's. I used NT and You tube advice; opted for the method of using lights instead of sunlight because the weather is not always permissive.

I'm going to cop some seaglow and try it on a pair of my 09 eggplants ASAP!

Those look great!!

 

[boutmymoney333]

How do you store them AFTER you seaglow them? I seaglowed my 09 eggplants then took them out the box a month later and they were even more yellowed than before.
