On today’s episode of Shoe Care Academy, our favorite sneaker restorer Vick Almighty takes on the challenge of cleaning up the April SB Dunks which have already started to bleed just from wearing them! Vick knows just what to do to prevent the bleeding from going any further so if you own a pair of these, pay attention!
Before getting into the cleaning, Vick pulled off the Sole Shield that he applied a few weeks ago, and the sole looks as good as new; make sure to cop some on Reshoevn8r.com to protect your icy soles! Sole Shields not only keep your soles clean, but they help slow the oxidation process and star loss. Before getting the shoe wet, Vick took the shoe to the air compressor to blow out all the dirt and dust trapped in the mesh and suede. Since these shoes are delicate it is important to pay attention to all of the steps and to really take your time. This is why Vick chose to utilize the compressor.
Some deeper stains remained in the suede after using the compressor, so Vick pulled out the Reshoevn8r Dry Suede Kit to use the eraser to remove them! By gently rubbing the eraser on the stains and removing the debris with the brush, Vick got the suede looking even better!
Now it’s time for the cleaning! Vick started off by using the Stiff Bristle Brush on the parts of the outsole left exposed from the Sole Shield and the midsole. Next, he used a Sneaker Wipe to buff away the remaining stains on the midsole and the dye that bled onto the tongue tag.
Now it’s time for the water & solution! This is going to be the hardest part of the cleaning, so pay super close attention to this. Vick broke this cleaning up into parts; first, he took care of all the white mesh and leather panels with the Soft Bristle Brush and then detailed it with the microfiber towel. Then he took on the the Turbo Green suede, scrubbing it then pat drying with the microfiber towel before moving on to the next panel.
Before setting the shoe outside to dry, Vick took it back to the compressor to blow out any excess water that may run and cause color bleed during the drying process. Once the shoe was dry, Vick reset the nap on the suede using a dry Medium Bristle Brush and attempted to remove the dye that stained the sock liner but unfortunately, it was on there for too long!
All in all the cleaning was a process. These April SB's are a beautiful shoe, but they are incredibly delicate. Make sure to follow these steps to avoid ANY issues.
