How can I decrease nubuck? I don't want to risk messing up the shoe.. _________________

is it possible just to do certain areas of the shoe or should i do the enitre thing?
^^^ u can work on certain areas, but it depends on the type of kicks & how many "certain areas" ur gonna be working on. if its a bunch of small parts, then just add a drop of baby oil on ur finger and rub it on those small parts!! i only suggest adding a lot of baby oil for shoes that have huge faded parts or that are all faded (just like the metallic 5s in the video!!). some kicks tend to have a more "sensitive" suede, which can be a hassle becuz the suede will look way different than before, so make sure u don't brush/rub too hard or u will have the *"eraser effect"*
* eraser effect - this is basically when the suede starts to come off due to excessive rubbing & it will look like u just finished using an eraser on it

^^^ there is no way to decrease nubuck/suede. don't use an iron becuz it will destroy the material & it will leave ur shoes looking like a bald head!!super exaggeration there.... _________________ FOR MY FELLOW ISSers:

I would imagine you'd only need to do it where it's needed up to the areas where there are seams or complete panels _________________ Always on the lookout for 11.5-12

probably why you see so many pairs of infras with the suede destroyed on the toebox
nice vid
I actually thought you used too much baby oil at first but the sample shoe looked really good when it dried _________________ Always on the lookout for 11.5-12

^^^ thx, much appreciation!! yea i kind of did over do it, but that was becuz the shoe was badly faded!!
those shoes are just for experimentation, so i dont suggest people put so much baby oil as i did!!! _________________ FOR MY FELLOW ISSers:

Is it safe to use Sea Glow on the netting of '01 Air Jordan Vs? I'm curious in knowing if it will have a negative effect on the material beneath the netting, before I do it.
I do it all the time.........takes some patience it is slower to turn than soles!

How do you clean off scuff marks from rubber?
A magic eraser (extra strehgth) It should remove marks no problem!
The grey is on point.......no need to darken, those are mint!

Hey fellers I have a pair of Neon AM95 with dirty laceholders. How can i get them back to looking bright?
RIT will whiten them up if they are stained..........if they are just dirty use a toothbrush, soap, and elbow grease!

Wsup guys, quick question. What can I do/use to clean & restore my 08 Infareds? Thanks in advance.
I assume you mean the AM infas and too clean those you can clean the mesh with soap, toothbrush! To clean the suede/Nubuck you I would use Lincoln Easy Cleaner.

I apologize if this question has been answered many times, but I didn't find an answer on the first page that helped me out totally..
If I'm planning to invest on a crumbled pair of 99' Bred 4's, and all the "crumbled" parts of the midsole/sole come along with it,
to what extent can I revive them to make them wear/sell condition? _________________
