Just got a new pair of Gucci Ace × Disney, they almost started creasing but your lacing method saved them from going to a point of no return. Thank you for a wonderful video.
@@CharbelSalemSLA hello I need advice quick... I have a pair of Adidas white leather sneakers with the black stripes on the side what happens if they got soaked by accident... I don't wanna throw them in the washing machine so what do I do I mean they are really silking wet Please help
@@gwyndalinascott6471 Hey Gwyndalina, Place them in the sun for a day starting with the soles down, then flip them and have the soles facing up. The idea is to ensure no moisture remains in there which could lead to a bad smell. If they are dirty you’ll need to deep clean them AFTER drying them out following the steps in this video. Hope this helps
Just one small thing, if you want leather shoes to last you need a moisturizer. Leather is skin, just like our skin it needs to be moisturized to not dry. saphir renovateur is the best but cheaper stuff also works.
@@petergriffinson1907 If it's a pair of dress shoes, yes atleast once! but if you want to have a mirror shine then you have to do it regularly. I'm unsure on sneakers as I don't own a pair of leather sneakers
I used to get leather sneakers when I was a kid and they always ended up creasing and getting dirty so I just wore fabric ones for the longest time but just bought a pair of white leather ones so now it's time to learn how to properly care for them, thanks for this video!
This video is amazing! Just bought a few pairs of white leather sneakers. Your video was beautiful, and showed me everything I needed to know to take proper care of them. Thanks!
One major thing is missing - the conditioning of a leather! You can't just wipe them and wash the soles, you have to condition the leather as it will become dry over the course of time.. So what to use on a white pair of sneakers? Some Saphir white cream?
Great video! Feels like a sponsored video tbh. But the production quality is amazing! But maybe try speaking a bit slower; It feels like you were being rushed. Also spot on with the tips. Very concise and no bs. I appreciate how you promoted wooden shoe trees over plastic ones. Had to sub because I’m looking forward to more quality content.
Thanks so much ! I Maybe should’ve charged Jason M for this hahaha. And thanks for the feedback ! You are right I was trying to “force fit” my voice overs over the footage. I prioritized people that prefer concise information and thought you could always play it back. But valid points ! Thanks so much for subscribing!
Great video mate but you don't need those sneaker wet wipes, standard baby wipes are perfect and a fraction of the price, yes the come in small packets great for travelling but you can figure out how to carry a few. White shoe cream/polish is a god send too for touching up and to get the stitching back nice and bright.
Hey man. Thanks for your feedback. I actually used wet wipes for the last couple of years (the high end ones) and noticed they all left a small patch on my white leather shoes that is visible in bright sunlight. As I mention in the video, while the jason markk wipes appear to be a luxury, they are actually free from harmful oils and offer the 2 side feature. Regarding the polish and shoe cream, always use these as last resort, not as substitutes for shoe cleaner. These add an extra layer/cover on top of the shoe’s original material. I would only use polish and shoe cream when my leather is scratched and definitely not on a weekly basis like I do with the shoe cleaner (assuming I wear them frequently). Thanks again for watching !
Check out basic supply primo collection bro they are super clean and an absolute value for money...honestly they can go toe to toe with Common Projects and are 100% Italian made...
Angelo Torres thanks a lot man ! Love the LVs, great choice. Yes I do recommend JM’s repel for white sneakers - ideally applied after cleaning. I’ll be posting a step by step video soon on how to clean delicate white leather using JMs product :)
Very helpful & informative. However, i just got a new pair of northampton white sneakers. Should i use any Conditioner/wax/cream products? If yes, is there any product recommendation? Thank you so much
I don’t personally use a leather conditioner except on suit shoes (derbies, oxfords etc.). Keep in mind that leather conditioner works best on true leather and that most white leather sneakers (e.g Nike) are faux leather and so conditioning won’t be necessary. For calfskin white leather, if you insist, make sure you are using a sneakers conditioner solution as opposed to leather furniture conditioner. And if you are planning to use a conditioner on dark leather, it might alter the color or darken it. Always try a small spot first as a test to check. Hope this helps
All is valid if the modern sneakers were not intentionally made with very weak sole. The leather could last years, but the sole is intended to last as long as the producer desires. Buy, consume and throw in the trash bin - that is the idea of the mass producer.
@@CharbelSalemSLA check out basic supply if you haven't already...the premium calf skin leather is gold standard and its so luxurious...keep up the great work bro...
Great Video , i i Appreciate you took the time To Share proper way to Care for Leather Sneakers , I Have Several Pair that Needs some T.l.c and They are mad at Me lol..But Now i can put a smile on their faces...
Thanks for this video! I recently bought white Louis Vuitton Charlie sneakers.. Supposedly it's made of sustainable materials... Do you recommend a protecting spray before use? I really want to care for them well. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Yes absolutely. Just don’t over do it (spray from a distance, don’t over-wet them, and leave them to dry overnight before wearing them). The rest of the tips in the video should also help. Enjoy !
Hey Tom, once I reach the top, I take the right lace and go inside the left top shoe hole. I would then take the left lace and go inside the top right one. So the top hole on both sides will have an overlap. Before wearing them i would just make sure the laces are tucked inside the shoe comfortably instead of tying them.
Thanks for your comment and question Johnny. I never claimed Jason Markk products to be the ONLY option available but I have tried several products and found those to be the most delicate and effective. The brush that is being used can be of the same material (e.g. horsehair) but make sure to be using brushes with bristles on the softer end of the spectrum as harder brushes tend to scratch delicate leather. I’m not familiar with the Saphir renovator but if it’s a form of shoe polish it’s not exactly relevant for “everyday care” and should only be used when the leather is deeply scratched. Hope this helps.
Isn't too harsh to just clean them with solvent and then not condition them after? What about applying Saphir nappa cream after the jason markk cleaner?
Is white saddle soap OK for sneakers? I've used a bit of it on black leather skate shoes and it's been great. I don't have a lot of white sneakers or sneakers in general but I figure it's best to start taking care of the ones I do own so I don't just toss them and get new ones.
Should be fine. Just make sure the product is suitable for the color of the sneakers. Always brush your sneakers before starting the cleaning process to get rid of dirt that could end up being rubbed into the leather. Absolutely! Take care of your gear and clothes and go the extra mile to clean them properly if you want to get the best bang for your hard earned buck. Thanks for the comment !
If you’re talking about the shoe cleaner in the video, you shouldn’t apply it directly on the leather. You add a few drops on the brush, dip it water, shake off the excess liquid, and apply it to the leather with a soft bristles brush until it foams. You then use the microphone fiber cloth to soak up the foam and wipe the shoes clean. Let me know if I answered your question:)
Hey Vlad. Glad you enjoyed the video. These are a collaboration between Hugo Boss and the German porcelain designer “Meissen”. Hence the black pattern on the tongues. Hugo boss did a whole clothing collection named after the designer with such patterns. They even sold home decor accessories for the first time as part of that same collection. Thanks for watching !
Nice clean sneakers you got, especially those from Boss, Mirage Tenn , how they are holding up ?? they are TTS.? i wear european 42. wide feet, what size you recommend ? Thx.
I aim for calfskin leather. It’s the best in terms of quality. Luxury brands usually design their shoes with this type of leather (Valentino, Gucci, Boss, Louboutin...). Always check the product description for Calfskin.
They are not bad per say but they aren’t as good as cedar shoe trees for 2 reasons: 1- they don’t absorb moisture 2- they only hold the front side shape of the shoes as opposed to the whole shoe
@@CharbelSalemSLA Thanks for answering, I really do appreciate it. However after re-watching it 2x more times, I still couldnt find any mention of "protective spray" (and/or any lotions). So I assume you just dont use it? What I found was: Quick wipes, Soft Brush (I assume standard from J&M), deep clean lotion, microfibre towel, Shoehorn,....
@@CharbelSalemSLA Perfect thanks for the clarification. I have just gotten my CP sneakers and just want to make sure that I dont skip some essential step such as "protection" haha.
This is insane. I love a fresh pair of CPs but come on man. This is too much effort haha. Give them a clean now and then. Replace the laces. But really, this is too much.
A separate point/topic. And in any case, shoe trees last forever, and the cleaning kit can be used on suede, fly knit, and leather and also has excellent shelf life. Every household should have these. And lastly on affordability, I can make a great case proving to you that by not caring for your shoes, you end up spending more on new ones than on cleaning solutions ;)
No need of fancy soap. Dishwasher soap is enough. And don’t use wipes, that is for babies butts. Use a proper leather conditioner from a reputable shoe care company like Saphir. Furthmore use shoes trees.
This is bad advice. Dishwasher is harsh and should never be used on premium leather. These are special wipes. They are alcohol free and meant to clean and have a dual purpose as shown in the video. They are not the same ones you wipe your baby’s bum with. Leather conditioner can be helpful definitely. And you mentioning shoe trees means you haven’t watched the video in full ;)
I was looking for a leather conditioner for my white leather low profile sneakers. I watched this video twice and learned absolutely nothing. Waste of time.
If you follow the tips in this video, you wouldn’t need to clean them from the inside ;). If you find that they are dirty from the inside, it’s probably a hygiene issue (e.g., wearing the same socks from the day before, or not wearing socks at all). Oh and style > substance.
also, do you have a clue on how to clean the inside and what products might be suitable for that? I don't wanna damage the fabric nor the glue. can I run a high pressure water jet through it... I have white leather addidas sneakers
@@dn-bayou try the following tips: 1) don’t wear them everyday. 2) take the off as soon as you finish a workout or back home. I would use wet wipes with no alcohol to wipe them from the inside and then make sure they are given enough time to dry. Don’t blast water inside and don’t place them in the washing machine
