ever thought about re dying?
Never done it my self but I'm sure they'll be a youtube video or something showing how. I've pictures of redyes on social media and they look brand new afterwards.

I always put my Gazelles in a washing machine....come out spot on. Just make sure you stuff them with newspaper as they dry to keep their shape. Remove the laces and put them in a pillow case with the trainers when you wash them

Are you on Twitter? If so, follow, I am the the renovation. Bloke works wonders with old tatty originals.

Sneakers ER cleaner is OK, I've used it on my myriad pairs and it works pretty well.

Despite the name it's a Glasgow based company.
You get a brush with the bottle of cleaner which is handy.

Some of those jobs are brilliant! Unfortunately the sole of my gazelles has fallen to bits so only option is to buy another pair.

There are people who do sole transplants but for a pair of Gazelles that are on sale all the time no real need
Sneakers ER are class. I'm into my trainers and have used them and Lution Footwear (based Liverpool) They both do postal cleans and repairs though. Pretty amazing what they can do.
Do NOT put them in the washing machine!!!
Most of these places do Balenciaga, Louboutin etc repairs so worth paying 40 quid for fix. Standard trainers as someone else said, probably worth just buying a new pair really.

Those Adidas boots look amazing!
Have had a look at a few of the examples, the time and detail is amazing for what they charge. I have some old Nike Air Max I might send in.

The patience as well
Wish I had seen it, I had a nice pair of Air Max and read toothpaste makes them white again. Think I tried it and they are in a cupboard somewhere.For anyone into their trabs...SneakerDealsGB on Twitter are well worth following. They post deals all day.
At the minute they have Air Max 720 for 85 reduced from 160. Not them that sell but they find out the deals and share.
Got some Adidas Handball Spezial for only 50 yesterday.

This guys just got back to me on Insta. £15 a pair he’s priced so he’s certainly going to get a bit of business from me.
Cheers Edgy.
Great these places aren't they? Make your old ones as good as new for next to nothing!

I bought a pair of ‘electric’ pink Gazelles last last year that I love but being pink and being in the UK they got very dirty very quickly so £15 to get them gleaming again is a bargain!
Know the feeling. I got some Oyster Holdings Spzl sky blue with baby pink touch on them and they get fucked so easily. Hardly wear them now.

Will that make the white stripes go black like that?

No, clear polish and clear dobin just enriches the leather. I use clear polish on some brown brogues I've got for work (as it the shoes have a slightly miscoloured look), it brings them up like new.

Ah, I meant how he made the stripes black. I have some leather conditioner I used that made them nice and soft.
I assume it's some special dye to make the stripes black?

You can buy leather dye to do that, I've got a few different dyes as planning to do some overhauls to some of my trainers.
Sneakers ER mentioned above sells dyes...

The easy answer is just to re-dye the whole thing isn't it. Sneakers ER sell deglazer too.

Meeting this chap on Monday to get 4 pairs cleaned, randomly he’s working literally just down the road from me, and he’s asked me to share his Facebook page with you so do him a favour and give him a like and share it with your mates!
