from my previous knowledge, theres nothing you can really do about that but try and dye it grey again. it might be hard to match that shade tho. it looks as if its yellowed.

Any suggestions? |
try some detergent instead of soap,(it usually is stronger)and scrubbing lightly with a soft brissled toothbrush should do the trick, and warm water. just keep scrubbing for a few minutes in circular motions, but remember to do it lightly. |
Ok this worked well the color came back some what.....But now I have a darker colored ring around the area the Jumpman was in I guess from the left over water. Will this dry back to the regular color or stay a shade darker? I am working on Original Shadow X's and the back Jumpman was discolored so the material is nubuck suede, I think.

these happened to my best friends og hares... your better off sole swapping, because it looks like it rotted, and the air bubbles collapsed... even if you glue them back its just gonna keep happening and happening.

it may go away by its own, if it dosen't, try blowdrying over the area with a blowdryer. or, if you want to renew the suede's color and texture, use some baby oil on them.that dark spot would also blend in if it dosen't go away.

edit..http://turtlefeathers.net/text/angelus/dye.html
To match the olive color I looked. I'm thinking brandy or spice brown to match but I'm not sure. Any ideas? |

Also there are scuffs on the toebox but I don't have access to angelus right now. What would be a good substitute to use? |
