On this episode of Shoe Care Academy, Robert took on the challenge of cleaning the iconic “What The” Air Jordan 5s! This unique sneaker combined elements from multiple Air Jordan 5 models, with the left shoe featuring bright yellow nubuck from the Tokyo T23 and the right shoe showcasing bold red suede from the Raging Bull pack. Both materials posed a challenge for cleaning, but Robert was ready to show how to restore them to their original condition using Reshoevn8r’s Essential Shoe Cleaning Kit.
For this cleaning session, Robert used Reshoevn8r’s Essential Shoe Cleaning Kit. It came with three brushes: soft, medium, and stiff bristles. The kit also included Reshoevn8r’s cleaning solution, perfect for tackling dirt while being gentle on delicate materials. In addition, he had a microfiber towel on hand for drying and planned to finish the job using the Reshoevn8r Dry Suede Kit, which would help remove deeper stains and restore the texture of the suede and nubuck.
Robert began by dry brushing the shoes to remove any loose dirt and dust. He carefully brushed the yellow nubuck with the soft bristle brush, making sure not to damage the material. Once the dry brushing was done, Robert got to work on the yellow nubuck shoe. Using the soft bristle brush, he gently scrubbed the surface, ensuring the cleaner reached deep into the fibers without damaging them. He switched to the medium bristle brush for tougher areas around the toe box and sides, and used the stiff bristle brush on the outsole, ensuring that even the bottom of the shoe looked clean.
Moving on to the red suede shoe, Robert followed the same steps. He started with the soft bristle brush to dry brush the dust off then clean the surface of the suede, being extra careful not to press too hard. Like with the nubuck shoe, he used the medium brush for the midsole, and the stiff brush for cleaning the outsole.
Once the shoes were fully dry, Robert brought out the Reshoevn8r Dry Suede Kit. He used the suede eraser to remove any deeper stains that remained after the initial cleaning, carefully working over the yellow nubuck and red suede. Afterward, he used the suede brush to reset the nap on both shoes, bringing back their soft textures and restoring their original look.
In the end, the “What The” Air Jordan 5s looked refreshed and as good as new. Both the yellow nubuck and red suede had been successfully cleaned and restored. Robert’s careful process showed that even the most complex materials could be handled effectively with the right tools and technique.
