Has anyone done a sole swap on the Air Jordan 5 99/00 with the current retro releases? Are the soles the same size? Do they fit well?

No white patent leather oxidation cannot be reversed

Any risk in wearing OG Space Jams (2000)? I recently rediscovered mine that I had stored. I haven't worn them in at least 5 years and they weren't really well worn in the first place. I guess I'm worried that the glue will have deteriorated or the patent leather will crack. But the midsole still feels normal/springy and doesn't seem like it will crumble. Outsole still feels surprisingly like rubber and not plasticky.

They only come in black and white, you have to paint it to match the shoe.

They will def need to be reglued, the glue is already dust, air bag will also need to be replaced. Best to use something like Eva foam.
I’m actually regluing my pair of 2001 Bred 11s tomorrow as they completely separated. 11s are prob the easiest Jordan to restore.

Does anyone know how to fix the black suede bleeding into the inside of the shoe on a pair of OG 13 HGG?

I’ve been talking to AI about sneaker cleaning and it’s led me to try out putting a good protection spray coating on and using this to blow off the light dirt each night.
I also have a good leaf blower but who wants to break that out every night. Anyway not making physical contact if possible is obviously the best first step to cleaning because it doesn’t degrade the spray coating.
I will update this post as to how well it works for light dirt from normal wear for a single day on a pair with a protective layer intact
There’s also a million sprays out there now so I’m going to be comparing some of them to my Collonil Carbon Pro

suede halp...
DS Yutoʻs suede has a soft hue to them so dying is out of the question...
Scooped these up as a restoration project and was able to get a lot of the dirt and stains out... however...
Iʻm having issues with the water stains on the suede. I sprayed some mink oil on them and itʻs slowly helping. I also went on amazon and picked up an Angelus suede brush and eraser. Any other tips to try and bring these back to life?

Hey quick question
So I bought some space jams recently from StockX and overall I’m super happy with them but for a 2016 shoe there’s gonna be some slight yellowing. Would y’all recommend trying to unyellow them using salon care and sunlight or do I risk ruining the blue tint / making the sole iciness look uneven

suede eraser from shoelada or reshoevn8r should do the trick easily, for the stains their cleaner would also work. had the same problem on my reverse mochassuede halp...

New to the thread. Looks great. What kind of foam?
I have 2001 Breds. The midsole is intact but when I wear them there is this white dusty residue that comes from somewhere. Is that the glue or midsole breaking down? Do you think the midsole is still good for a reglue?

5mm EVA foam from Amazon fits all XI models.

I should state that for OG XI's the back heel cup is actually about 10-11mm deep so I stack a second heel cup only piece of foam hat goes under the full length cutout. Definitely maximize the foam if the space is there. Shave it down with a dremel if you have a little extra until you get a good fit with the upper sitting on the midsole. Unfortunately it just gets shorter in the heel on the 2000 retros and beyond.

Have you looked into replacement air units rather than replacing with foam? No longer an "Air" Jordan if it has no air

The ones out there don't fit great and they'll continue to break down. And foam is WAY more comfortable for casual wear than zoom air and never breaks down. It's an easy choice. I've now done 7 pairs fro 96-01 in the past 3 months and they're all light years better with foam. Actually done them on 10's, 5 pairs of OG 12's, 13's and 14's. OG 14's with that forefoot full of foam is a beautiful ride.Have you looked into replacement air units rather than replacing with foam? No longer an "Air" Jordan if it has no air

Oof my DS 2022 Playoff 12s are yellowing badly. I’ve never had a DS pair like this yellow so horribly within 4 years. Is there anything I can do to reverse this? (Would Sole Glow or something work?)

Insane for that to happen that fast. Use salon care 40, can be purchased at beauty stores or on amazon. There are tutorials on youtube. It's a temporary fix but you can keep reapplyingOof my DS 2022 Playoff 12s are yellowing badly. I’ve never had a DS pair like this yellow so horribly within 4 years.
