A couple of years ago, I copped the @diadoraofficial Lire restock at @cncpts...when I received the shoes there was this massive smudge on the toe cap. I couldn't remove it. I had dealt with @cncpts returns before on another pair and had a rough experience, so I figured I might as well figure out a better way to deal with it...I dyed the toe cap black. Not my best decision, but now I don't feel so bad wearing these around all that much. Week 1 went well. Lots of learning going on.
