So bought these second hand off eBay, for a custom that a buddy of mine is going to do for me. After everything dried from the cleaning, the mesh in the tongue discolored a bit. I have sprayed oxiclean white reviver and it didn’t do much. Chances are it will get painted over, but anything I should do to decrease the discoloration? Just in case if those areas don’t get painted?

First 2 pics were prior to me deep cleaning them.. the last 3 were the final result (for now).. these bad boys need to be scrubbed a lot to get them to wearable conditions for me. I’m satisfied with the outcome !

Client’s family friend did them and completely warped the midsole causing permanent damage and uneven bonding. Still got them as close to perfect as possible!

Does anyone here know some strategies to bring the color of the suede/nubuck back. Will definitely appreciate the help.

First few stiches of my asics gel 1130 have been teared off due to sliding on the road

I threw this together after a failed first attempt. Stock list is as follows:

1000w full spectrum light fixture
3 shelf rack
(2) computer fans
Foam poster boards
Zip ties
Tape
Electrical strip

Still have to install the fans, one at the top and one at the bottom opposite side of each other. One facing in and one out for good airflow. Any critique, or suggestions greatly appreciated.

It’s whistlin diesel’s pair.

This was after the 3rd session of 24 hrs of trying to ice the bottoms.. I used 2 300 watts full spectrum lights no fan

i really love this pair of shoes but i cant wear them anymore; afraid of completely ruining it. biggest problem is the crease line at the toe area... seemingly all my shoes have this creaseline that damages them, any advice on how to prevent them? or if this specific pair of shoes are saveable, and how to fix it ? :'-)

Favorite pair of white shoes got worn down at the back, was hoping to repair before any more damage. Is it a DIYable project or should I take them to a professional? If so, is this an expensive fix?

So basically I bought these shoes two weeks ago and unfortunately caught some rain and dirt on them.

I cleaned them with a proper kit, which helped, but they still look brownish on the sides, as you can see.

Is it fixable?

How can I do it?

As shown from the picture, is there a way I can fix or repair the damage? What can I use to fix it? Thank you in advance!

Just as the title states.
