I have restored the pair tremendously using proper cleaning solutions and a cold wash and air dried. I loved the models reveal aspect, so it was perfect for any future markings or scratches (it would reveal another wonderful color) As for the colorway chosen, I wanted the colors to stand out solidly instead of it having that wasted look to them. I chose colors that are present in the colorway and added some flare elsewhere. Used acrylic leather paints, proper mediums, additives and sealants. These have been warn a number of times after restoring and customizing them. May need a light light clean. Please see photos for details and ask questions if needed. Thank you.
