aight so i mixed the bar keeperes friend in some water to make like paste, i didnt make mines that chunky, it was a lil bit more watery than chunky. here go some before pics of my shoes.
right jordan before
inside of right jordan before
left jordan before with right jordan prepared for cleaning
[left one was in worse condition than right one for some reason]
then i dampened the shoes and went at with a toothbrush. i scrubbed all the areas breifly for like maybe 5 mins on each shoe. mrj told me not to rinse the stuff off the shoes and to just let it sit or whatever but i wasnt really feelin the way it was lookin just lettin them sit so i rinsed the stuff off, which i will not do on my 2nd attempt, it would be better to wipe off with a damp towel so the barkeeper mix can penetrate and stay in the shoe rather than washing it away. not a drastic change but not bad for the first attempt.
right jordan after
inside of right jordan after
left jordan after
and both of them in some bayarea daylight. [kinda cloudy out]
decent results. ima try again on the same pair using two different strategies this time.
this time i will make sure the mix im using is chunkier vs being watery, and ima wipe the stuff off with a damp towel instead of rinsing the shoes out. i also got a pair of concord xi's ima try it on once i master this.
and my seaglow is in the mail. that is all.
