THE JORDAN 1 CLEAN AND CARE POST:

My weapons of choice:

-Bowl with some water and a little dishwashing soap to rinse my brush every now and then

-Hard bristle brush (Because we are working with a Rubber midsole)

-Knock-off Magic Eraser


My procedure:

1. Put a little dishwashing soap on my brush with a some water

2. Scrubbing that rubber midsole with my brush, getting an general cleaning 
3. Wipe a little and see if it's completely white or not

4. If not, go scrubbing with my "Magic Eraser", getting a detailed clean for those stubborn stains


TIP: Try to clean your midsoles once they get dirty ASAP. Leaving dirt can oxidize with the midsole, making it harder to clean because it is now stained. (Thats why the Generic Magic Eraser is so helpful)

Not too much going on here. I have a Jason Markk Cleaner that is pretty versatile and easy to use for general cleaning. I first bought it when I started cleaning shoes. I also have a soft bristle brush and my trusty ol' bowl with a new solution containing Jason Markk cleaner. It's just a simple scrub and wipe dry, nothing else to really say. Just follow directions on the cleaner. The reason I change to soft bristle is because it's a safety precation. I don't want a harsh abrasive on the leather upper just to be safe. 


TIP: DO NOT USE WATER FOR CLEANING SUEDE (à la Laneys). That requires special attention and I personally use a specialized cleaner for that. You will stain the suede with water.

Weapons of choice:

-Leather Care Liminent Conditioner 

-Applicator Pad (Included)

-Cleaned Jordan 1


My procedure:

This was the first time ever I have done this kind of thing. Basically I did

1. Unlace my Jordan 1s

2. Shake bottle

3. Pour a little conditioner on to applicator pad

4. Wipe onto leather upper

5. Gently buff it out with a rag afterwards

6. Let it sit for the conditioner to do it's magic. 


I thought it would be best to just put conditioner on the right shoe so it would be easier to compare. 


Initially I was a little worried because all my 1's had a shiny look to them, and it's bad to over condition your leather I learned after I googled it (I was kinda soaking it with conditioner):

(In b4 GM :rofl: )


AND as I was using the applicator pad, I noticed a little of the color of red and blue wiping off:

(Kind of hard to see the faint tint but it's there, trust me)


But, I gave it a couple of hours to do it's magic and I checked again to see that the leather regained it's matte look and it was not as shiny. I couldn't tell much of a difference between the leathers until I spent a lot of time taking pictures and feeling the texture. The leather is really moisturized and not dry as the unconditioned pair by touch. And you can really see that the leather soaked up in the conditioner, becoming a tad thicker and more squishy. I also feel like the colors brightened up a little too (Could be a placebo/lighting/eye trickery effect to :lol: ).

^noticed the thickened edges of the leather on the left picture of the conditioned shoe

^More wrinkle and slightly softer as shown on the conditioned shoe of the left picture. (It feels more "gushy" thanks to the conditioner)

^Notice he thickness difference of the red leather edge underneath the wings (left conditioned, right unconditioned)

^THEM RED EDGES OF THE TOP PAIR THO!


Overall though, I feel like this conditioner saved me from some noob mistakes. I definitely love the conditioner and I would recommend it if you want to add some years of life to your shoes to give it a softer texture, and less dryness and better the quality. I also feel like applying the conditioner leaves a protective layer over the leather. Just gotta be careful about the procedure but it's a great product. 
Hope this helps out my fellow NTers out there. Thanks for reading! :nthat:

Was legit hyped too since he claimed they were 100% authentic and claimed they were in the description, got them today and knew they were fake soon as I saw the box, compared them to my other 1's i bought and still was in denial but once i did the legit check from the link posted in this thread......
