[MIKE BLESS]

yea I think those retros are weeeeeeak, some things are better left alone

I, for one, was actually happy when I first seent that they was retroing those, cause I wear my sneakers and 15-16 year old sneakers get brittle after awhile. So I seent that they were makin new ones and I was happy. I pretty much automatically assumed that the tennis ball was going to be on the back. Those specimens (the retros) are mad corporate if you know what I mean, I can't imagine what kinda corny ass safe ass people they got designing them.

i used that and a toothbrush...i've only cleaned one shoe so far so i can take pics to show u a before and after....it even worked on the hologram honeycomb thing....but i wanna try n clean that part more with some 3M™ Plastic Cleaner (which is easily found at like home depot type stores)

Yeah, I'm not about the bulky skate shoes anymore. I used to rock those when I was like a youngin, but then I grew out of that.


I like the Dunk sbs because they aren't bulky, I can't walk around with sneakers that look like moonshoes or something.

ayo, speaking of all these cleaning products and ****, is there anything out there that restores yellowing soles on vintage sneakers or some type of method? cause I seen some pictures of some deadstock 16-17 year old sneakers and they looked like they were straight from 1990, no yellowing at all.

check out this product called SEA GLOW
they talk about it a lot in the 'yellowing' threads on niketalk cuz the jordan v's yellow like crazy

i just used it for the 1st time on the flightposites i just cleaned (link on page before this one)

1st i used GREASED LIGHTNING which got off most of it but then to finish up i used the sea glow on the honeycomb clear parts which were a little yellow...check them pics out

it all depends what sneakers you buy and how you wear them. A few of my female friends wear boys sneakers...can't go wrong with dunks or blazers...jordans...it all depends...3s would look good on a girl's foot, some 1s ofcourse.

without looking like a what?

I'm a female & I wear boy's sneakers all the time...as far as the difference in width, I've never really noticed it. just remember to cop 1.5/2 sizes smaller than your size in ladies (I find this difference varies between shoes).
