[b]adrianlarios[/b] - Your local shoe repair/ tailoring shop. There's usually one in every mall. [b]Kiokitimmytongo45[/b] - With dyes you don't have to get the exact color. Just got a color that's pretty close to Varsity red. I say get the dark red with neutral, or the red with the neutral. You can get the laces at http://fullylaced.com/ [b]MzMarii23[/b] - Get the angelus paint closet to the color. Buy either white/black if you feel the color was too light/dark. If you want, buy another color that you feel is 2nd closet and a mix between the 2 and white/black will likely yield the perfect shade. [b]Lilcholovato[/b] - On foamposites, soap and water should be sufficient enough to get any dirt off. If the actual foam get damaged, you will have to get some sort of filler, but painting will be tricky as they have a metallic hue to them. If it's a scuff and the actual material is not damaged, then try using a small amount of acetone on a q-tip to take it off. Don't scrub too hard or you make remove the finish.

Wash the bottoms after every wear. Never let mud dry on them. Keep in a close to air tight container, away from sunlight. Don't let them touch the paper they came in, as it can cause yellowing.

[/quote] how often do u take them out the sealed tight container, and for how long? and are ziploc bags fine?

my '99 white cement 4's have been beasts in terms of wearability, however, i can see where they might start cracking at the air bubble on one of the shoes... any stuff i can apply to them in that area that will slow down and/or prevent it?

How can I remove the insole for jordan 7s?
