Finally got enough time to try retr0brite and this shit works, got results in my first 2 sessions.


First 2 hour session, left the sauce dry up on the right infrared 6 and rinsed it off with water (minimal results)



Session #2 made another fresh batch, applied it to the outsole then covered it with saran wrap to leave the shoe overnight (6-7 hours) then rinsed it off and got great results.



Gonna try at least one more session to see if I can get it more clear and if anyone is interested to what my setup looks like let me know and I'll post it.

I tried retrobrighting some 2000 Concords and space jams. Retrobright made them a lil less yellow, but they were still a shade of yellow afterwards. Im currently seaglowing my cherry xi lows too, but no success after 2 sessions. That space jam seaglow video by joevenuto is pretty good he got them to go from piss yellow to almost clear icy. Optimusp517 does some good retrobrighting too. Only thing I hate about retrobright is its so messy and when it dries up it gets everywhere. I've got some of those reptiglo lights in a plastic bin with aluminum on the inner walls for indoor sessions. I need to get this shit down because I HATE yellow soles and always end up selling anything that's remotely yellow.

I got a similar setup as the one you just described, are you sure your mixing the sauce right? What % of hydrogen peroxide are you using? As far as the sauce drying up, wrap the shoes in saran wrap, easy as hell to clean up evrytime.

Yeah I used all the measurements everyone on ISS uses and I did wrap the shoes in saran wrap. I used the 40 vol developer and everything. I'm done with that shit tho! I'm going to keep giving seaglow a shot, but I think if I really want get a sole back to icyness ill probably send them to optimusp517 and let that fool do all the dirty work.

depends on the location but if you had to for the cements or the bc3s then expect to with these. these are considered grails to most people so the rerelease should be bananas. imma try to cop online, usually always get lucky with GR kicks.

Hella slept on the Playoff 12's. I haven't bought J's in a couple years, but by any chance does anyone know where I might be able to get 'em online?

Unless you want to pay about double bro there's nowhere online to buy em at retail. All these shoes sell out within minutes now after they're released.


I got my pair, but I don't know if im going to keep em.

go to snipes.de use google chrome to translate the german and get them from there. it will take a while to get them but it's better then paying 3 bills for them. they only charge an extra 20 for shipping so 180 total.

I've used this site before and they're legit and they double box.

got mine through sneakersnstuff for 150 shipped.
