Thanks! Would you mind to link on ore two of them for me (if they occur again on your feed!)
Sure, I found this one among my saved IG posts.

Now that I watch it again I realize black cream on C8 shell actually brings some dark patina to specific areas more than darkening the whole shoe. Usually the rolls and seams become darker than the rest. I remember the other videos showing the same effect.

I’m sure the other areas darken as well, but it’s not a uniform effect.

This was hard to watch. You have to apply a lot of pressure to get the rolls out. This didn’t do anything. I wouldn’t apply any color to these but if I did, I’d certainly rub it in better and brush more evenly. Sloppy.

Have you tried this before?
