A few short months ago when my son was home for spring break these white Vans where his pride and joy, as soon as they got the slightest mark on them he scrubbed them until they looked like new, but once he got back to college and life and classes became more important (well at least I hope classes became important) the shoes got neglected. He mourns the state of them now, but has decided that although he would love another white pair, something darker is more practical, but he can't quite say goodbye to them! For me they made a fun photography project. In reality they are not quite so pitiful, I upped the clarity and did my best to make them look extremely used!
Nice job bringing the soiled look! This is why I'm not a fan of white shoes. lol. But I heard baking soda or toothpaste does the magic trick on bringing its white glory back.
