It was more the boost that was looking worn. Had just seen people advise a machine was okay. As I say they are my 'beaters', I wear them a lot, so its not a massive deal but obviously would like to save them if possible.
curious as to why you'd do that and not just clean the sole with Jason Mark or other NT shoe cleaner of choice..... ?
the black upper couldn't have been THAT dirty....

Only the machine man. It is only the boost and I do wipe them/clean them on a regular basis. They have been getting off white recently and now the beige colour after coming out, so you may have a point.those had to have been put into the dryer.
I've actually thought about the whole wiping and washing of the boost. For the ones that i have cleaned the most, I noticed the boost gets that yellow/orange color. I'm thinking the wiping and washing could be doing something to the boost and making it yellow faster?
I brushed up against a tire with my UBs and took a Magic Eraser to them trying to get the black mark off. If tore up the boost and now that area is taking on a reddish color. I posted some pics a while back. Use Magic Erasers on boost soles at your own risk...Personally, I would never wash my shoes in the washer. Despite what someone else said, Ill take Magic Eraser over washing machine any day - when it comes to keeping the white boost looking fresh.

I didn't want to get into the whole story, but I tried all the usual methods before using the Magic Eraser. Nothing got the mark off except the ME, which essentially worked by stripping off the outside layer of the boost.To be honest, tire grease/oil is not easy to clean. Regular dish soap would have been a better course of action since it has degreasing agents.

Not a big deal, since the spot isn't that big and it's not noticeable on feet. But after years of using Magic Erasers to clean all sorts of shoes, it's a bummer that these can't handle it. Also, given the reddish discoloration that I'm seeing in that area, it does seem that the boost will lose the bright white if the outer protective layer is damaged or worn off.Sorry to hear that man. Any shoe cleaning products should be used lightly and at your own risk. Sucks either way.
Ill make sure to keep an eye on the coloring of my boosts and report back on it in a few more months.
I'm also curious if he left the insoles in, pretty sure the HBs have leather insoles.check you water temp settings
most likely had it on warm or hot
I know of someone that have washed his white multiple times using warm water with no issue...check you water temp settings
