Post your Restorations HERE Vol. 5

How did that even happen? Out of all of my sole swaps, this has NEVER happened. You might as well use the white cement dub zero bottom sole.its the closest in terms on color blocking. The only difference is the inner circle block is white instead of red. Use the same size.

This is the first time i see a split toecap.. i suggest just glueing it back together with barge cement make sure its straight and then just glue it back to the toe.. only thing you can really do lol . Next time don't pull on the sole.....

Hello everyone! I have just started repainting old sneakers of myself and friends, I don't know much about restoration, but I hope to learn about it here. This is my first post. Sneaker love! All I did was take my dirty ass superstar II adidas, primed, painted a few layers of white with acrylic, then penned in with a ballpoint.

THanks [/quote] Gluing it would be possible trust me. But do it at the very very end. I've ran into that problem regluing soles .

Are you going to attempt to unyellow the soles?

Thanks.[/quote] Well one way is to fill the gap area with barge cement and let the glue cure and sand down the in crack line so that you can't notice the fix, or get a new bottom sole donor, a cheap alternatives would be retros or team jays with nike bottom soles, but there would be no color match for those unless painted, but will wear out when worn so if its going only for display this alternative will work, else its a waste

I only have before pics on my fire red's, but the metallics were in worse shape.

Clean up and paint look good on both of them. Creases on those fire red 5's are stubborn, I would know. :? Are you going to speckle the flame on the mettalic's?
