Under The Palms

Cleaning your soles is also good if you have clear soles, like some Jordans, because that seems to prolong the life, and minimize the yellowing as well.

Speakin of yellowing, has anybody tried to make their own batch of retro bright?

Naw, I just use the authentic SeaGlow.

edit:
moved to new thread: How To: restoring w/ retr0bright - an alternative to Seaglow

There is a seaglow thread, but if you wanna start a new one for this stuff, do it! I'm interested in anything that is proven to work, and after lunch, I'll watch that vid!

No seaglow or other expensive shit! The only things i use are a liquid abrasive called "CIF" and liquid handsoap.

Yes! My first otws thread! Ill strike it up when im home from telegraph. Headed to buffallo exchange to try to cash in sum oldies! And maybe see wut bowes and arrows and UP has.

@Erwin is that just for cleaning, or does it actually work for deoxidizing or "restoring" the shoes color as well?

this is insanely inspiring! well done there sir!

So erwin, when did u officially start that beast? I mean was it like an orginal collection or did u get alot of them fast? Were any of em dor trades?

Yes some are trades. And built it gradually with the difference don't sell much the last year than the years before,because there are shoes I still regret that I've sold them. Through the years i sold about 75 pairs.
