My Cleaning Experience on some Air Max 95

[teddy54221]

I found my Air Max 95 that I used for track because they were the only pair of running I had at the moment. I started running with them 2 years ago, I toldmyself not to do it but I need some running shoes and I didn't want to still out of practice. So I said ima run in them for 2 days and get some others onthe weekend, I never stopped running in them because they are really comfortable until they reach their limit.

So tonight I got bored and wanted to see how much I clean of these and I got this far now

the left sneak is the one not cleaned yet and the right sneak is the one I cleaned

throw 'em in a pillowcase and throw 'em in the washer.

that's what i'm doin' with my old '99 retro of my neon 95's tonight.

they've almost had it, but i figure i'll try to get 'em clean one more time to rock 'em for a lil' bit longer b4 they're officiallydone and i have to break out my HOA's...

 

[teddy54221]

iight, ima try that, I'm still trying to get a pair of the HOA's

 

[jphonix]

i think i'm gonna try putting some spray & wash onto the white mesh, scrub it in with a toothbrush a lil' bit, in an effort to get it icey whiteagain too...

co-sign, the wear on these is getting bad and you have some deep cuts, good luck though.

 

[abernja]

You can tell on the gradiant, but the rest of the shoe looks the same.

throw'em in the washer

 

[vivrantchino21]

haha you wore the heck out of those. i usually throw my beaters in the washing machine (95 neons) and they come out looking brand new.

 

[wi5hbon3]

Throw em away.

I wonder if I can do the pillow/washer trick with my Air max Infared 90's. Do I have to use bleach or anything?

You crazy! Go to a Nike store and turn them in for charity/recycling and they will give you like a 20% off Coupon to use in the store

 

[11wordisbond]

Use people's advice and pre-clean the mesh, throw them in the washer inside a pillowcase, and post some new pics. I'm anxious to see how good these canbecome.

On a similar note, my HOA's got some mud on the mesh of the toe box...nothing overly crucial, just a lil spot...any ideas on how to clean em? Someonesuggested a Tide pen...all help is appreciated...

Get rid of those before you slip and hurt yourself.

damn..

 

[teddy54221]

I know they dead, I just use them as a back-up running sneaks cause they comfortable at times and they been with me in my first year doing track so I justcan't throw them away yet

 

[carlofromdapi]

You still use em as back-up? You might hurt yourself...

 

[xeneize10]

You should really consider replacing those due to how worn out the soles are. It sounds like the hold some sentimental value to you so don't throw themout, but def. stop wearing them for running.

And mad props for rocking these to (almost)death

 

[jbv1]

Those are the true definition of a beater pair - how you got the soles run down so much without the air soles blowing out or losing air is beyond me lol (theAir units on those still firm?)

You should take people's advice here on the forum & turn them into Nike for that coupon or donate those to charity,etc.

Let them go - running technology has come a long way since the 95s

so you're bound to find some decent other pair that can replace those.
