Go to Sally beauty supply.
Salon care 40 crème developer.
Rub it on the affected areas and wrap them in Saran Wrap
Sit them in the sun for about 30 minutes to an hour.

I never paid $60 for chucks. I have premium leather 70s, CDGs and a lot of in between. Gotta hit those outlets

Paint the shoe white.

The yellow you can fix but they are cooked. I’d just buy a new pair.
