the shoe cleaner at the store actually works good, i use to work at finishline and when they show you a show cleaner, buy it. It works great

take a bleech pen and scrub all the white parts hard with it, covering it with bleech at the same time, let it sit for a little bit and then rub/wash it off with a cloth and it will be fresh white
toothpaste without the sparkles and shit works for some parts too

this is going to sound pretty gay but i stay away from white in the winter becasue of all the sand and dirt there is on sidewalks and shit like that. But before i did this i just alternated between a 2 or 3 pairs of shoes so they wouldn't get dirty as fast.

I have a better system;
-where them and they get dirty. Once they are worn out, you buy a new pair and start over again.

wear them with ziplock bags over the shoes, then when you get home seal the bag so dirty air doesn't get inside.

Some people just like to have their shoes fresh so dont worry about why he cares about shoes. If they are expensive shoes such as Jordans which i wear then you wanna keep them in good shape. That shit from the stores is good and just give them a 2 minute wash every night when you wear them.

Well that's cool and all, but I just don't understand. All of my sneakers are 100-150 bucks but I know that they're sneakers and they're gona get dirty. It's just the nature of sneakers.

damp paper towell/tooth brush, clean the dirt off. then use a whitener shoe polish stick, i got mine at Walmart and you put it on the scuffed parts and its good as new.

i tried the mr clean magic eraser and it works surprisingly well, depending on the material of the shoes. I thow mine in the washing machine with some tide free detergent to freshen them up from time to time.

one secret trick, if you have white shoes and don't want to skuff em, cover em in starch powder, that way, when they get skuffed, its just the powder and you can rub it off

do the boxes do a good job cleaning them? I never found peoples obsession with doing that, like they clean themselves in the original box

i buy a pair of shox and wear them till one of the shox falls off. The trick is to buy a shoe that is hard to tell if its dirty. Nobody cares what shoes you're wearing, and i cant keep anything clean for more then a minute.
