Andrew - nice job on the Bursts. re: whitening mesh, i used (undiluted) bleach several times on my old 87s. i was really delicate at first applying the dirty marks with a cotton bud (i think these might be called tips over there lol) but as there was little effect i quickly increased the amount. i then VERY gently scrubbed, let it soak for 15-30 mins then thoroughly rinsed (and i mean a LOT, bleach stinks! you may also get water marks after drying but these wash out). i did this several times until it no longer made any difference. i didn't have to worry about the toeguard material bleaching either as it's that synthetic rubber stuff. i'm sure bleach can weaken the mesh too so just be careful if you try this, you don't wanna tear holes into it. my 87s were battered when i got 'em so i didn't care too much - dirty toeboxes = not worth wearing anyway imo.
Thanks so much for the advice Gooey! I'll give that a try as well. I completely agree with your statement in bold above. I love the shoes so damn much I wear em every now and again.....then I just look down in discust. I don't know why I try, I just can't rock a shoe if it's not mint.
And thanks for the info on the Lights as well. I'll have to think about those.
Another member here completely agreeing on the Hold Tight's. They are simply butter in person. Wouldn't trade em for anything.
Entegra- Those mesh Chili Bursts are super nice. Newer release though?
And to touch on what Brian added with the painting: I masked my pairs as it was my first time and I was nervous. When you take the tape off run a razor blade along the edge (between the midsole and the upper) to cut the paint overlapping onto the tape or when you peel it off you'll have a lot of touch up to do. Learned this the hard way.
liquid- How was Avatar? Can't decide if I care enough to see it......definately seems like one that is theatre necessary though.
kicks4show- Stunning IDs!!! My favorite Stash pair yet. Slick!
Brian- I like those customs. Nice work!
NWT / Neil- Seems like you check this more than your e-mail.Did those shoes go out yet?
jibby- I'm really diggin those 90s. What are they? That photo tweaked at all? Colors look real saturated.
eastlasmokesho- shame about those man.
Youngsk8- Nice IDs!!!
Greg- Those are killer!! Congrats on those. Let me know if you spot another 12.
V- Love those 2k9s! The purple really does set those off.
Have a good one FAM!!! Be safe.

If the MX were DS, they were 99% prone to chip since they are now 8+ years old (occurs to most AM90 c/w's from '01/'02). Nonetheless, they are leaps and bounds ahead of the HOA in terms of quality, rarity, and overall value. Nothing f_cks with that "big" mesh!Originally Posted by eastlasmokeshop
gooeywooey-Thats the reason I bought them the quality besides the paint chipping is better than the HOA pair there more comfortable and they look better IMO smh at Nike quality.
larrivee7- Sad indeed I was pretty ticked off but I am over it they are an 8.5 literally I took a walk from my room to my living roomit almost like the paint is peeling never seen it before so fast.
Battleground03-Will probably keep em unless I get a some good cash for em.

Apparently MX's went to the outlet, back when they retailed for $199.95 at Myer in the early 00's.
Havent's seen that ad yet..but do remember the ad for the ostrich "Laser Blue" 90's...lacejob was just as bad as this new black/infra pair! Suppose it gives something for the Eshay's to drool over..
ditto, collect them red envelopes my man!Originally Posted by gooeywooey
Austin - 2k9s are no joke. i only have the grey/ reds so far but def looking at the LAFs.
btw, being Chinese i must wish all the FAM a very Happy Chinese New Year! or Kung Hei Fat Choi as i believe it's spelt lol.
