Ok- I've got a really old, amazingly comfortable pair of the white, three colored stripe adidas sneakers with the plastic shell top...

I painted the baby pink stripes magenta when I got them 4 years ago... so I just touched that up, and the actual SNEAKER isn't too bad- nothing a little white shoe polish can't fix... but does anyone know

a. something I can do to change the shell top rubbery plastic part back to white? it's sort of turned a dull eggshell/yellow color over the years.

b. something i can do to not make them SMELL SO DAMN BAD?!?!

hehe. thanks a TON!

has the rubber actually TURNED colours, or is it just that kinda dirty stuff that won't come off? there is this stuff called "Goo Be Gone" that i use on my sneakers and it brightens them up considerably. when i worked in retail, we'd use it to clean up the display shoe so that we could sell it (i know, lame huh? i didn't last long in clothing retail!) i buy it at canadian tire, but i'm sure you can get it at a hardware store or something. the shit is amazing.
