its a shame they cost so much

i resurrected this thread because the pics are well done and...


my wife relented and not only let me open the box, I'm wearing them today!

And, as you've seen by my other pics, I'm terrible with the camera. Here's a quick one from my phone.

Now any advice in getting that shell back to black?

Wipe it with a cloth soaked in monkey tears !

[Lorrie]

any particular monkey you'd recommend?

[olstar]

IIRC, the spider monkey is the best one to use..

But any old primate will do

[mr.pure]

I can highly recommend the South London Cheese Monkey.

[Lorrie]

well, could be time to take a trip to the Toronto Zoo, then.

Failing this, I'll be using the blood of my enemies.

[mr.pure]

Yeah, that'll do it too.

[olstar]

Hahaaaa...

On a more serious note, im not sure what would be best to use, as many products may damage the finish, and with kicks as sweet as that, i'd not wanna risk it!!

Nice Zwer, when my IB's turned up they had dusty shell syndrome so I wiped them with a baby wipe a couple of times and they came up lovely

[Lorrie]

good tip. i wonder if it was the lotion in the wipe that reconditioned the rubber?

was going to try a bit of hand lotion on them.

[AdiMac]

Dunno, I got that tip off of here, I think it was Woody's, I can't claim any credit for it..... or any blame if things go horribly wrong!!!

[dj_wildthing]

speaking of cleaning NBHDs - what would you recommend for the upper? it's sort of nubuck-ish, so I don't think normal leather/shoe polish would be good?

[Lorrie]

Hmm...maybe i'll think this over for a bit.
