  • Bristled off as much dirt as possible and went over them with a suede eraser. Then cleaned them with ox-gall soap, followed by the washing machine, wanting to get as much nastiness of the previous owner out.

    Once dry, I brought back the nap with a suede brush, used some fine sandpaper to remove some rough suede and went over it again with some hydrogen peroxide on the darkest spots and some more ox-gall soap. Let dry again and another round with the suede brush.

    Then removed bubble fog with lighter, masked the midsole and swoosh with tape and painted them with Angelus, metallic Jacquard and finisher. Removed tape and touched-up spots.

    A lot of work and def not flawless, but worth it in the end.
