That's the problem when you have a pair of white canvas shoes.
Really hate those yellow stains that i have on my Old Skool Barbees.
I might have to ask around and keep a lookout on those dyes and
colour removers that you've mentioned. Thanks for the heads up!

Rescobot and I headed down to our local Shoe supply and each bought a starter kit that includes
The Cleaning brush and a 4oz. bottle of the famous solution and aside from the kit a "Premium" brush for suede and nubuck.

Project Start:
Heres some Before shots of the pairs that needed cleaning
luckily I got to try cleaning both canvas and suede to see how good this stuff really works.
All these shoes i was able to get for cheap since they are beat

Previous owner said he worked at an asian restaurant and scuffed the toe of these cdg's. But managed to get a great deal

I've had these halftones since they were DS and those denim stains and bleed stains from the laces
always bothered me so i decided to throw those with the test pairs aswell.

And Lastly i just received these from ebay they were dirt cheap and the main reason i decided to try this cleaner out.
The suede isn't too bad on these I just wanted to see if I can bring these back to life. I'll be trying to repaint the heel tab as well.

As of Now the shoes are drying will post pics of the finished products tomorrow

Heres the final product:
Supreme halftones are for sale btw

The CDG scuffs were removed fairly easily

Was able to remove the denim stains and shoe lace stains from the canvas and suede

This suede was a little tricky but was able to get the water stains. The suede is much softer now
Unfortunately the heel tab was done so hopefully the paint will match as they get worn over time

Notice the direction of the suede in both pictures, makes it look like they dont match

Wow, looks good man! I might have to get me some of that stuff. I have some white Ray Barbee old skool's with some serious denim stains on them. I just use water and detergent on my midsoles, but I never use it on my suede, especially the lighter colored suede, in fear of making it look worse.

Yeah I had second guesses too, When the shoes wet it actually does look messed up. Im still waitng
for a pair f white suede shoes to experiment on.

I never take pictures before I restore.. bad habit but now that I intend to share I'll be sure to snap before/after pictures. I do happen to have a pick up shot of this pair I restored, sorry they're not in the same setting.
