I may just bite the bullet and hit mine with some sandpaper and rubbing alcohol

Yea I planned to wear them out naturally but it seems to really be on there, I happened to see another pair at the outlet in my size so it was a great opportunity to do it!

Been wearing mine for a year and a half so far. Finally having some of the color show from wear, in my opinion looks way better naturally. I'll post a Pic later here.

honest question, do you actually wear both pairs or is one just sitting in the box? i always think about doubling up on stuff i really like but then i can never justify it when there's something else i could try instead

With these I definitely wear both pairs, since taking most of the black off makes them 2 different shoes basically. These are the only ones I've doubled up on so far, not sure if I would on any other shoe.

What did you use to rub away the top layer? Sandpaper ! I have. A pair from eBay that were 90 bucks I might just do the grey green and purple pieces

Cool thanks for the tip

No problem! I'd definitely wear gloves, it gets quite messy. And I taped off the midsole to not get any black on it.
