???? WELL WE ENCOUNTERED SOME ISSUES! ????
After countless comments asking us how to clean the Travis Scott Phantom Jordan 1 Lows we decided to take them on. In Today’s Shoe Care Academy episode we will show you exactly how to clean these sneakers. Plus we will show you all the complications that you will encounter while doing so; the clean wasn’t perfect by any means, but hey we did it.
To clean these black suede kicks we relied on the RESHOEVN8R Essential Cleaning Kit paired with a couple different products to really get the desired results. Using the Essential Cleaning Kit we cleaned the entire sneaker with the 3 different brushes and the all natural solution.
When cleaning the uppers we noticed some of the most insane color bleed that we have ever seen! ???? However, even with the color bleed, we had no choice but to clean these with the Solution. We hit the entire suede upper using the Soft Bristle Brush to truly breakdown the dirt. After the uppers were taken care of we moved over to the Medium Bristle Brush and used that on our rubber midsoles and the hard stitch you see in the midsole section. Finally it was time to hit the outsole with the Stiff Bristle Brush. Then we had to let the shoe dry for 24 hours to see what we were truly working with.
After they dried we noticed quite a bit of issues. The main one being the staining on the white stitching as a result of the insane color bleed we encountered and a whole lot of color fading, I mean these shoes went from black to almost green with that bleed. After many passes on the stitching we quickly realized it wasn’t coming back to that pure white. However, we could repair the color bleed!
Finally, we had to use the Dry Suede Kit and Medium Brush to reset the nap on the materials prior to using Mink Oil to bring that color back. Mink Oil is a great tool for reconditioning leather as well as restoring color to the original condition.
Y’all asked and we answered! We encountered all these issues, so that you had the answers that you needed. If you are cleaning these be careful and be prepared for the color bleed. Even with all of the technical difficulties, these Phantom Jordan 1s cleaned up nice!!

Academy powered by RESHOEVN8R, my name's Nick And today we're taking on these Travis
Scott Phantom Jordan 1 lows using all of The RESHOEVN8R products you see here in front
of us, so without further Ado let's Elevate our Shoe care together [Music]. Now a lot of you guys
have been asking us on Instagram and TikTok And Twitter and Facebook and in the comments of
our YouTube videos to go ahead and clean these Shoes for you. Now these Travis Scott's released
back in December so we went ahead and picked This pair up off eBay now these things are dusty
musty, crusty, nasty, greasy I don't know they stink Like cigarettes. I don't know what this these took
these through like some music festival out in the Mud for Fourth of July. I don't know what they do
with them but they are completely disgusting, so We're gonna get them all cleaned up today using
a handful of RESHOEVN8R products it's kind of a Mixed material sneaker but the majority of it's
going to be a premium nubuck and Suede and also It's got like this fabric woolly cottony kind of
like interior material but ain't nothing left to It but to get to it so let's get this cleaning
station set up and get to cleaning. We got our Cleaning station all set up so now we're gonna
get right into it for this we're going to be using The RESHOEVN8R Essential Kit which includes
your four ounce bottle of solution, all three Of your brushes soft, medium, stiff , microfiber
towel as well as the drying rack and Bowl combo, Our cleaning mat and the adjustable shoe trees.
Now for video purposes we only clean one shoe Which is usually the right shoe so we're going to
get rid of the left shoe next step is going to be Removing these laces and inserting our adjustable
shoe tree. Now that the shoe tree is inserted I'm Looking at this sneaker and I can see that it
is covered and caked in a bunch of mud dirt I don't really know what it is so I don't want
to rub this all deep into the sneaker when I'm Cleaning it with water and solution so for that
I'm going to take it outside and I'm just going To dry brush it using our soft bristle brush I'm
just going to try to get all the top layer stuff Off prior to actually wetting the shoe, just to
create a muddy nasty mess so let's head outside. So dry brushing as you can tell that made
a drastic difference just in the overall Appearance of this sneaker and also how dirty
it actually looks before I was pretty nervous. I guess you could say about cleaning this
up because of how much crud and dirt and
Grime was all over the top of the sneaker but
after dry brushing it it actually doesn't look That bad I'm going to go ahead and drop these
laces into the bowl of water for this entire Duration so that way we can help get all this
dirt and grime off of these. Next step we have To do is put two squirts of solution into our
bowl of water and we're gonna get to cleaning Now since the sneaker is Suede and Nubuck I'm
going to be lightly wetting each panel of the Sneaker and I'm going to be cleaning the sneaker
as evenly as possible to really reduce the risk Of damaging any of the suede or the nubuck I'm
going to start with a soft bristle brush, it's Our softest brush this way we don't run any risk
of damaging any of the materials on this sneaker. Now I am noticing that this sneaker is bleeding a
whole lot at least I think it's bleeding because It is kind of like a black darker blue kind
of purpley tinted color it could be something That is all over the sneaker but it's definitely
something we have to be weary of and watch because I can see it all over the table as well and the
brush that there's a bunch of Darker material the Depositing onto the brush but we're going to keep
cleaning we're going to hit the soft bristle brush Up on the tongue to help try to get this pop
layer of dirt off and keep going at it. Now since the sneaker is Suede and Nubuck as
I've been going around it I've only been lightly Wetting each panel and then I've been using the
microfiber towel and Pat drying it to try to get It as evenly dried as possible prior to letting
this shoe sit outside in the sun to really dry Out evenly the biggest thing that you need to
worry about whenever doing cleaning on suede or Nubuck sneakers is really getting water damage on
any of the material and really over saturating it. You don't want this material to really sit wet
for a long period of time if you do get it wet You want to just run microfiber towel over it pat
dry it get it dry so that way it can hopefully eat Dry as evenly as possible and then you can just
reset the nap after it dries. The soft bristle Brush on the outside has done its thing I've
had to go over it two or three times all the Way around the shoe we're going to go ahead and
start hitting the inside of this like fabric for This I'm going to use a soft bristle brush as
well to really help flush out all these darker Staining all around the inside. Next we're going
to move on to our medium bristle brush it's the Next stiffest brush that's included in both the
Essential Kit as well as the Signature Kit; you Can also purchase them separately all three in
our three brush pack online at reshoevn8r.com Now the medium bristle brush is kind of your
all-purpose brush it works great on almost all Materials you just need to be mindful of your
more delicate ones because you do run the risk Of damaging fraying and or pulling and snagging
some of the materials so what I would like to do Normally is test it on an inconspicuous spot maybe
like on the heel or on the inside to see if the Brush is going to do any damage to the material
prior to actually wetting the brush and getting It into the sneaker, but for this I'm only going
to be using it right now currently on the midsole
Of the sneaker and maybe some of this nubuck
on the side just because I can tell that the Soft bristle brush left a little bit of marking
that didn't pick up from the soft bristle brush. So I am going to use the medium bristle brush
on the nubuck, but I do know that this brush Will be okay on it because I've used it on other
sneakers of the similar material so I don't think It's going to damage it at all also I'm pretty
sure it's going to continue to bleed so we're Going to see how bad it bleeds by looking
at the color of the brush when we get done. That's going to do it for the medium bristle
brush hitting the midsole as well as some of The deeper staining on the areas of the sneaker
that we went ahead and hit with the medium bristle Brush as well like I stated you can see either a
the sneaker is extremely dirty or this sneaker's Bleeding really really badly I guess we'll
find out once it dries. That's the purpose of Doing these videos for you guys so that way you
can kind of learn with us as we clean these for The first time so that way you don't run the risk
of damaging or ruining your sneakers at home. Next We're going to grab our stiff bristle brush this
is our stiffest brush that's included in all the Kits as well as the three brush pack you do
not want to use this on any Leathers, canvas Knits, suedes, nubucks, neoprenes anything like
that because you do risk damaging the material. This is specifically done and only used for the
outsoles of your shoes so only use the stiff Bristle brush on the outsoles and some of the
deeper staining around your rubber midsoles and Be very mindful of any painted surfaces midsoles
and outsole area that you're using this brush on. That's going to do it for the outsole and the
stiff bristle brush on these Travis Scott Jordan One Low Phantoms next we're going to go ahead and
clean these laces that have been sitting in the Bowl of water this entire time and then we'll
take the shoe outside and let it dry [Music] . That wraps up cleaning these laces let's take
the shoe and the laces outside to dry [Music] . And we're back the shoe's been drying it sat
outside for a couple of hours in the Arizona Sun it's nice and dry and suede is nice and
crispy and toasty and everything else so we're Gonna definitely have to reset the nap looking
at the sneaker I can definitely see some very Small issues and one large issue first issue is
going to be the stitching all along the midsole As we were cleaning the sneaker as I said a
couple of times in the video this thing was Bleeding like crazy at first I didn't know if
it was what was ever all over the top of the Sneaker or if it was the actual Suede and Nubuck
I can definitely tell you now it was the Suede And Nubuck that was bleeding all over the place
all of the stitching around the midsole as well As the stitching on the actual sneaker from the
swoosh's heel cups mud guards, Vamps everything Else has all dyed black some of them are kind of
like a grayish silverish color I don't know how Much we're going to be able to get this stitching
back to White just because the second you put any Solution water or anything else on the suede
material the material is going to bleed,
So the stitching is going to turn black again .
Anyways but on this midsole stitching here I'm Pretty sure we can get this using a small wire
brush some solution and some compressed air so We are going to head over to our sneaker store
next door called Many Worlds they've got an air Compressor and some cleaning solution and some
brushes over there and we will get this cleaned Up. Let's go now for this what we're going to do
is use a small wire brush some solution and some Water you're just going to dunk the brush in the
solution mixture and you're just going to be ever So slightly scrub just on the stitching and then
after you scrub it you're going to use a towel to Dry up any of the excess and then we're going to
use the air compressor or some compressed air you Can get it in a can to help blow out and flush out
all of the solution and dye from this stitching. Let's head back so that's going to take care
of the midsole stitching on this sneaker now Off camera I tried to clean up some of this
white stitching around the shoe using a couple Different methods none of it really helped
like I thought it was going to when you're Cleaning this shoe just be very mindful of how
wet you're getting the each panel because this Material bleeds very very heavily. Now for
the next step we're going to be cleaning up The suede along the mud guard the little eyelet
area plus this back heel cup area that has some Darker marks as well as looks like some scuffs
on them for that we're going to be using the RESHOEVN8R Dry Suede Kit which is going to
include dry suede eraser, dry suede brush. For This we're going to take a dry suede eraser
we're just going to move it around on some Of the panels I have some of these scuffs
and marks on it to try to get them to kind Of lift up and pick back up and then from that
we'll reset the nap using the dry suede brush. That's going to wrap it up for the dry suede
kit I try to get a lot of the glue marks all Around the heel cup as well as up here in the
toe box area they're not coming off as well as I would like them to but they definitely look a
lot better we've used the suede brush and we've Reset the nap all around the shoe it's nice and
soft again it's no longer crunchy and all crispy , So that's looking good next I want to grab the
medium bristle brush which is included in the Essential kit and for that I'm just going to
kind of brush inside the sock liner here to Get it to look more like fluffy and kind of
more volume like it does originally after we Washed the inside of the sock liner to really
flush out this material it really got kind of All matted up so we're just going to take the
brush and just try to add some volume and life Back into it for that we're gonna get rid of the
shoe tree and just kind of brush around a couple Different angles got this sock liner all back to
a nice and soft smooth texture way better than That Matty down nasty looking sock liner that it
was Prior. Now this shoe did bleed a lot as well As when we were resetting the nap I noticed that
a lot of the color was kind of coming out of this Suede as we were brushing it so for that we're
going to be using the RESHOEVN8R mink oil this
Stuff is great for revitalizing the color back
in your dyed sneakers as well as conditioning Any of your leather and Nubuck panels it's really
simple you basically just take off the cap spray A couple of coats let it dry for a second grab
your soft bristle brush and just kind of brush it In just to help bring the life of your sneakers
back after you've washed them. Specifically if They've been dyed so for that we're just going
to take the Mink Oil and spray a couple sprays. As you can see the mink oil brought this
sneaker back to its original dark black Color before it was looking kind of faded and
had a little bit of different of a hue to it Now it looks nice and dark like it normally
did right from the factory mink oil is also Good for leather materials as well because it
will condition the leather too if it's a little Bit older dried or even aged and cracking it'll
help Revitalize that leather. So the next step I want to do is use the RESHOEVN8R water and
stain repellent now this stuff is great because It will protect your sneakers for many many
days to come for this you typically want to Spray in a well ventilated area luckily for us
we're in a big studio so we can spray it here Inside keep the can a couple inches away and
spray a couple light coats let it dry and then Reapply usually you want to do anywhere
between three to five coats on each shoe. [Music] And last but not least deodorizer again
I talked about this earlier in the video since We didn't put the sneaker in the wash we only
use the essential kit I really want to help Kind of deodorize this sock liner it doesn't
smell as bad as it did originally it only has A little faint smell of cigarettes left but to
really help absorb and get rid of all that smell We're going to use a deodorizing spray a couple
quick sprays inside the sneaker is all you need. Much better and that's going to bring us to an
end on this cleaning of this Travis Scott Phantom Jordan 1 low now to achieve these results yourself
you're getting a few things from reshoevn8r.com To start off with we used the cleaning mat again
this is a super absorbent cleaning mat that helps Protect the surface that you're cleaning on and
helps absorb all of the water and the dirt and The muck and the grime and everything else that
you're cleaning your sneakers off of onto this mat Super nice get done with it wipe it off or throw
it in the wash when you're done like a regular Towel comes out nice and clean and ready to use
for the next time we also used the RESHOEVN8R Drying rack and Bowl combo this is an excellent
place to put your water in solution as well as Keep your brushes nice and dry throughout the
entire process of cleaning and then when you're Done you can leave your brushes inside Fold It
Up be done and move on it gives you a nice spot For storage. We also used RESHOEVN8R shoe trees,

re-energize any dyed suede materials as well as Condition any of the leather materials that you
have on your sneakers it helps bring the life Back to them as well as protect them for future
uses. Next we went ahead and used RESHOEVN8R Water and stain repellent now this is a force
field for your sneakers it helps protect them From the elements if whoever owned these prior to
us getting them had used this on their sneakers They wouldn't look like this and they would have
cleaned up super duper easy last but not least We used RESHOEVN8R's deodorizing spray now this
