        @Oaktavia love the indigo soles - just hope none of your friends have white flooring!

              @Oaktavia just saw your IG reel and came here for more info/pics. Got me thinking, how would a heavily faded pair of broken in jeans look re-dyed in a vat of indigo..?

                @T4920 i was wondering that too but I don't have a pair I would want to do that with. The indigo would darken everywhere but the fades would turn lighter blue I guess?

                  Someone got to do it then will know for sure.

                  As far I read comments on dyed jeans the feedbacks were negative on Amazon.

                  So this one is a gamble for sure

                          I put my silicone Otterbox phone case in the indigo vat and it worked! It was light blue before and now it's a beautiful shade of indigo 😆 I did not think it would take the dye but it totally did. I can post a photo of it tomorrow morning. Now the question is: oh you know it already.

                            Here is my indigo dyed phone case. It was super light blue before I dipped it in the vat.

                                    X-posting these here because it seems relevant to share from the New Balance thread.

                                    I dipped these 998s in the indigo vat last weekend I think about five times. I did these on a whim and they actually turned out to be the prize of the whole weekend. I'm really happy with how these turned out. They were grey and pale yellow with some blue in a few spots. I love how indigo blue some of the areas turned, especially the upper heel area. Wow that blue is bright! What do you all think?

                                          so who's going to be the crazy one to buy a fresh pale rider and give it an indigo dunk?

                                            I'd chip in to buy the indigo to make this happen. Could be an amazing tour...
