Sole and Tab Swap done to this beautiful pair!

Deep clean, full reglue, air unit replacements, upper repaint, and icing.

Sole swap, tab swap, and cleaning!

Idk what happen

This shoe came in absolutely covered in mud. 😳
Instead of giving up on it, I decided to see how much of the original look could be brought back with a proper deep clean.
The final before-and-after is the best part. 👟🧼

Got this pair of Green Tokyo Taxis recently and was wondering if I should use mink oil to bring back the faded colour on the right shoe? If not what should I do?

Got a busted pair of Jordan 14s from eBay for cheap ($30), but didn't realize the front sole needed reglued. Applied the angelus and wrapped with a tight bandage and actually came out extremely well. They are in the icebox now but very happy how they turned out!

Not going to lie, this shoe looked rough when it came in.
Gave it a full cleaning instead of just wiping the surface. Curious what you guys think of the final result.
Would you restore this pair or replace it

My 2010 flints are separating just at the toe. Looking for a quick solution with best results. Plan on grabbing the 2026’s but I just grabbed 3 pairs and don’t plan on getting the flints for a few months. Plus I like the blue on the 2010’s better than the 26 and 24’s. So please save the “just get the new ones bro” comments. If someone can recommend me something better than what I have it’d be greatly appreciated. I already have the Angelus clear shoe cement and it didn’t work very well. Unless I didn’t do it right. Help

I can probably count on my hands how many times I've worn these and literally inside only. They sat on my closet for a decade with not wearing, then the other day I was considering selling so when I took out to take pictures I was shocked to find the polyurethane deteriorated. They look mangled like a dog was eating my shoe. So sad. Anyways are these even fixable, the pump and air sack work fine?

How can i restore the wing and mesh of my AJ4SB pine green, already yellowed due to age.

Hey everyone first time posting. I started getting into shoe repair starting with my kids shoes. My question is I’m getting separation from my Jordan 6 rings and I’ve tried Angelus clear shoe cement on my kids shoes but after like 2 weeks they separated again. What does everyone use and recommend?

Thank you!!

I honestly thought this one was beyond saving. 😂
It was completely covered in dried dirt and mud, but the cleaning process brought it back surprisingly well. The before-and-after is pretty satisfying.

So I unearthed a pair of dunks that I tried to unyellow years ago. I did a terrible job and think the sole bright got on the bottom part of the dunks (right side of photo) and dulled the blue color. The white obviously needs to be redone. This was probably 8 years ago.

Has anyone dealt with this and restored the bottom color?

From looking at the pictures, is this restoration possible? Or parts and labor would be too close to the cost of a new pair?
