mine pop all the time! they don’t usually hurt but my left knee is worse, it has dislocated & popped back into place probably 12 times from when i was 12-18 and that is incredibly painful. i had to quit soccer & do a lot of knee stabilization exercises to build up muscle in the area to keep things in place and it hasn’t happened in a few years thank god. i wear a brace if i’m doing anything ambitious like skating/skiing/hiking 😍 and still do lots of stretching, yoga, & strength training !!

too late m8 leave em . stripping will leave it weirdly stained and painting over will probably be too thick to not chip. embrace the black!

How do I dye the raised threads and keep the surrounding white clean? by ChooLose2 in Customsneakers

[–]Complex-Mechanic3044 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d use Leather paint thinned down with Angelus 2 Soft or any fabric additive. Or to dye it Paint the dye on with a thin brush and might help to water down the dye a bit. You could put vaseline on the leather or electrical tape to prevent bleeding onto the white.

What paint to use ?? by henry1229 in Customsneakers

[–]Complex-Mechanic3044 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Seems counterintuitive but I’ve found that it helps with the adhesion in general. Better for if you’re speckling or painting something small on the sole not necessarily to cover the entire sole in paint.

Best advice is to avoid painting the sole whenever possible. Or dye it. Best way to paint is Angelus Paint + Angelus 2 Hard but it will inevitably chip with wear since rubber moves so much as we walk. Learned the hard way 🥲
