How To Clean Sneakers | Common Projects 

Never knew how to get to a good starting point, thanks for sharing! Pinned!

@@Hueguh md

lol, hope you get your pair soon! Thanks for watching!

I don't even have white sneakers 😂

The best thing is that this works for any sneakers👌

Lol, I'd love to work with Mr. Porter!

Isn't that obvious

@@adoboFosho no. It’s not. I dislike you for saying that

Too kind! Appreciate the love!

Makes me fall asleep

I normally like the worn look, I only keep them clean for the gram lol

Yeah was hard to justify the purchase, at the time when I purchased there weren't many brands that had a similar look to CP. If you want a more budget-friendly alternative, check out Gustin.

I really like the gray ones. What would you personally say on a gray CP - black jeans and oxford shirt look?

Ben Schroeder I think that be a killer outfit and versatile! I can see any color Oxford working. Personally I see a white Oxford with it.

Ended up getting them (:

Ben Schroeder nice! Tag me if you end up posting them on Instagram, enjoy!

I rinse the brush after cleaning the outsole. I found that when I clean the upper first, the upper gets dirty again as the brush tends to flick dirt back on to the upper.

Thanks!

Thank you!

I've since switched to shoe trees from "The Original Shoe Tree Company".

I usually just stick cedar shoe trees inside.

You can use Hydrogen Peroxide which will kill Bacteria inside the shoes. You might find Hydrogen Peroxide on most of pharmacy I guess, After cleaning inside you can dump the Peroxide and stuff News Papers to absorb the moist

🙏

when they are 400 dollar shoes u better try to keep them as nice as possible

Sometimes you just have to replace them. My laces were coated with Jason Markk Repel, which helps release dirt easier. Common Projects doesn't sell their laces, but Jason Markk Makes a good pair of white laces.

Hueguh thanks a lot :)

Gotta love clean shoes!

Yes, it will show on the number, but it can easily be removed.

I've had mine for over 2 years now, almost daily use. The weakest point on the shoes is going to be the rubber sole, that being said the rubber is really high quality. Also keep in mind life of the shoe will depend on how you walk too.

Wow 2 years is a good deal! I tend to walk a lot but now I am considering getting it. Thanks man :)

Thats good to hear :) I guess the investment is worth it

I also had them for over two years, as mentioned in his last common project video there is no other alternative to this beautiful white silhouette and quality, It's worth the investment!

Thanks!

I actually only clean them when I have to record a video. Normally I would leave them dirty, but it looks a little gross on camera.

How I deal with scuffs start at 3:47 I use a shoe cream with white shoe polish.

I think repel is worth it. It is sort of like wax for a car, acts a sacrificial layer that makes cleaning easier.

Unfortunately CP doesn’t sell their laces, but Jason Markk makes a quality pair of white laces.

@@Hueguh Ohh nice, they seem to work :) Thanks.

Creasing is inevitable if you wear your shoes. To decrease the appearance of creases, shoe trees and conditioning every month will help.

young guru Leaving them in the box guarantees minimal creasing.

Maybe 3-4 times a year. I usually clean them to condition the leather.

No leather does not shrink after cleaning. I do keep shoe trees in them to help maintain the structure.

Maybe 5-10 mins depends on humidity.

The shoes are the "Common Projects Achilles Low"

Yes, the cleaner works great on all leathers, just be sure to pick up a black or neutral shoe conditioner.

@@Hueguh have you ever Tryed Armour All leather wipes for Car interior works like a Beast!!

I recently reviewed the Oliver Cabell Low 1's, people have suggested the New Republic Kurt as an even cheaper alternative which I plan on eventually looking into,.

Hueguh Okay thanks for the reply and I’ll look out for that. Great quality video by the way!

Shoe trees and try to give the shoes a 2-3 day break every once in awhile.

Clean your feet daily with water and soap, and at night place tea beags in them. Every morning garb fresh socks

The watch was definitely not a small purchase, I saved for 5 years putting away a little each month. For 2 of those years, I lived at home so that helped too.

@@Hueguh Rolex Submariner I guess?

No these are Common Projects.

You definitely pay a premium. They do not last forever but do last longer than cheaper shoes like stan smith. I wear mine hard 5 days a week for 2+ years and they still have a lot of life left. If you break it down in cost per a wear It isn't as steep. There are definitely some brands that have the same quality and come at a cheaper price point. I am currently testing a couple of pairs to find a common project alternative.

Would be definitely interested in a follow up video after you're done testing! Keep up the good work 👍

Why buy a BMW when you can drive a Toyota? Or why wear a gold chain when you can wear a plated one? Some people prefer nicer quality items, are in this case are willing to pay more for a nicer hand made in italy shoe. They are the best looking low top by far, others don't have the same silhouette. Ive had cheap things and nicer things (which cost more). The cheap stuff always falls apart or doesnt last, whereas nicer stuff lasts forever if taken care of. All those vintage clothes people love to buy in thrift stores, usually were high end fashion back in the day, and thus have lasted all this time since they were made of quality materials

Yes, the shoes are expensive. Currently on the hunt for a cheaper alternative!

Hueguh You should check Diemme Veneto Low. They are not cheap but the quality is top notch, maybe even higher than Common Projects.

@@Hueguh Did you end up finding an alternative you like?

lol.
