The production team might’ve stumped Mr.Reshoevn8r with this week’s cleaning challenge…They TRASHED these shoes and Steve was not happy about it. Fran watch out…

On this episode of Shoe Care Academy, Steve is taking on the Nike Born & Raised SBs with our Reshoevn8r Signature Shoe Cleaning Kit which is great for a quick clip or if your shoes need it, a deep clean inside and out. At first glance, Steve considered soaking the shoe with a hose but after dry brushing it with the Medium Bristle Brush and the Dremel Brush tool, the shoe looked a lot more cleanable. The final step before getting the shoe wet was using an air compressor to blow the loose dirt out of the mesh tongue and crevices of the sneaker.

On to the cleaning… the first brush we used to clean these uppers was the Soft Bristle Brush which is the most delicate brush to use on suede. Steve was able to break down the dirt remaining on the shoe and had one very important note: if you are cleaning suede with water and solution, you want to do so evenly so that no water marks are left on your shoe once it dries.

Next, the Medium Bristle Brush comes into play. Steve used this brush to get a deeper clean on the mesh tongue and to tackle the midsole with dirt lying within the stitching. It was then, that the suede on the uppers began to bleed so Steve stopped cleaning and took the shoe back to the air compressor to blow out the dirty water from the tongue.

We cleaned the shoe for a second time using some fresh water and solution and we faced some more bleeding from the suede now that the shoe was completely saturated so be careful when cleaning these up! We hit the outsole with the Stiff Bristle Brush and used a smaller detail brush to clean up the midsole stitching even more. Now the last part of this cleaning, Steve focused on the details of getting the shoelace deep cleaned with the steamer and blowing any excess water out of the shoe with the air compressor before setting it outside to dry in the Arizona sun.

After the shoe was dry, it was looking a little faded but our Reshoevn8r Mink Oil and Horsehair Brush brought the color and the soft texture of the suede back to life.

This video is proof that you can always clean up even the worst pair of shoes and that the production team has yet to stump Mr.Reshoevn8r on a cleaning!
