Despite it not being at the top of the priority list, we make it our priority to ensure your sneakers are always looking their best, so weve created a timesaving sneaker cleaning routine that will be worth every penny.

Buckle up sneakerheads, as were going to show you how to clean your Air Jordan 4 Black Cats in under 10 minutes.

Step 1: Preparation

Start by removing the laces from your Air Jordan 4 Black Cats as this will allow you to reach all the nooks and crannies that have collected dirt over time. This will, in turn, contribute to a thorough clean of your kicks.

Once the laces are removed, we recommend inserting a sneaker tree into your sneaker. This helps aid the cleaning process by retaining the original shape of your kicks as well as reducing extra creasing. Plus, our Crep Protect Sneaker Trees are velvet coated too preventing exterior damage throughout use.

Step 3: Foam it up

Applying foam to sneaker

For this tutorial, were going to use the readymade foam. Shake the bottle before use and apply a layer of foam to the sneaker, covering from top to bottom. Once fully covered, use the builtin brush top to scrub the sneaker in a circular motion, starting with the midsoles and outsoles, and working your way to the uppers.

Step 4: Wipe away the dirt

Wiping sneaker using a Microfibre cloth

Using a damp Microfibre cloth, wipe down the Air Jordan 4 Black Cats starting from the uppers and moving your way down to the outsole. We recommend that you apply more pressure to the outsole, so you can effectively wipe away any excess dirt building up on the outsole.

Step 5: Repeat
