HOW TO MAKE YOUR SNEAKER LOOK LIKE NEW ALL THE TIME

Nowadays we have seen the sneaker market growing  day by day which has become now 72.7 billion US dollars

Fancy and expensive sneakers had now become a must-have in people’s wardrobes.  Everyone wants to maintain their new sneaker as they bought them so they can wear those shoes for the longest time.

Every sneaker is made up of different materials some are made of leather, polyester, nylon, rubber, etc. Every different material of the shoe needs different care for them to remain last longer, more comfortable and finally to maintain their out-of-box appearance.

 In today s culture sneakers are not just a shoe anymore it has become the trend of daily streetwear product or the choice of an asset by Genz. There is a  resale of the sneakers either those are dead stock or worn by the person before the shoe has their value on the condition they have maintained their sneaker. Sneakers are part of the culture of the legacy of United States history and the commercialization of sports by the NBA. Sneakers always played an important role in that.

Genz or the millennials now save money to buy sneakers to wear on a casual basis or with suits, traditional dresses, etc. And these people lack in caring for their sneakers they should which makes their sneakers to much old in few wears or in a few months look like they are a year or more that old they end up losing their money on the sneaker because they don’t look and they cannot be sold in the resale market either because of their poor condition. Taking care of sneakers, whether it protecting or cleaning. This seems like a lot of work, it actually only requires a couple of products that are accessible in the market.

 

TIPS FOR BASIC CARING OF THE SNEAKERS 101 :

·      Try to treat them well from the beginning. Before anything, the easiest way to take care of your shoe is to prevent stains and wrinkles in the first place

·      When you are not wearing the scrunch them with the newspapers after each wear. They are easily accessible and they are great at absorbing moisture. It also helps them dry faster if shoes are drenched in the rain, or your feet sweat a lot and also reduces the funky smell

Use a dry brush or microfiber cloth to remove the loose dirt from the outsole, midsole, and upper sole.

2.      Take Out the Shoe Laces

Remove the shoe laces, hand wash them with hot soapy water to remove  the dirt easily and make their stitches tight.

 

3.      Make a Mild Cleaning Solution

 Make a mild cleaning solution by mixing warm water with 1 or 2 spoonfuls of detergent, and mix it properly.

4.      Wash the Soles and the Sides

Take an old toothbrush to dip it in the mild cleaning solution you made and scrub the sneaker and its outsole gently for stains and marks, you may need to repeat the process.

5.      Use Microfiber Cloth

After scrubbing and washing it, use a dry microfiber cloth or soft cloth to blot and lift as much moisture from the shoe.
