man I need a bigger one... my screen resolution is 3840x1200 and I got a 6x8 to cover that lol

anyway... back to that yellowing, I googled it a while ago because I had the same problem with some second hand supes I bought, I couldnt find much info, just a whole lot of people saying "the person who invents a product to clean rubber discolouration is going to be a millionare"

hmm... so no one has had any luck with this yellowing?

i figure there isnt much that can be done...cos its basically the rubber changing its entrire colour... so i dont see how a product could return it to its original...mayb if it was originally white!

hmm.... damn shame... its really noticeable..i doubt ill get much wear out of these...

I doubt it'll have much of an impact but the toothpaste/toothbrush scrubber method may lighten it alittle!!nothing ventured nothing gained.
But as the others have said very little you can niko and as yet no1s found a product that gets rid of yellowing.
One thing i would say though is although it may seem very noticable to you once there on your feet the likelyhood of anyone else noticing is doubtful so ROCK EM m8
Ya never know with general wear the other foot may yellow/fade to same level ish!!

if you look back in this thread I think P said baby powder or something helps get rid of leather squeeks

I got a couple of pairs with sole squeeks from where I think the rubbers come loose from the inner sole, thats annoying as hell! I usually wear those shoes out to the soccer or clubbing, somewhere I know its gonna be loud and the squeek cant be heard lol

oh and I got a pair of Conductor Hi's that make a "whistle/blowing" kinda noise from the toebox breathing holes, thats annoying as hell and I gotta sit down and try fix that

I heard that if you rub vasceline on leather as soon as it comes out of the washing machine it keeps the leather from going stiff and creasing, Anyone ever tried this?

RE: How to keep your Kicks fresh - nikosg - 21-10-09

none of us put our shoes in the washing machine.... well..most of us dont, and those who do are a bit crazy!

RE: How to keep your Kicks fresh - Juzzy - 22-11-09

I never wash them anymore in the washing machine because the leather used to go stiff and crease easily when it dried and the paint used to wear off.
But when i wash my race pants they have leather patches on and they used to go stiff when they had dried and they would crease and end up tearing when i wore them but now i rub vasceline on them as soon as they come out the wash and now they stay soft after they dry

Just got my new jeans from tailor/sewer. I asked her to make these to prevent denim bleed. I hope it helps.
