This is the equivalent in Finland. Might be the same for Sweden as well.

Shocked
I treat, condition and protect my shoes with road salt, vo5 hair gel, WD40 and the inside of a banana every day before I leave the house.

don't we all?

You fuckers are soooo ungrateful! Very Happy
GB the road salt wasn't a treatment it was the dirt... ahem.. do pay attention.


RE: How to keep your Kicks fresh - GeeBee - 05-12-11

Ah, that's where you're mistaken . . . try mixing one part road salt with two parts rubbing alcohol and cream of tartar . . . shake it gently (DO NOT STIR!) for 45 seconds and immerse your shell toes in the frothy brew.

Yello,

Is JM and the brush OK to clean the shells and midsole? doesn't appear to be coming clean, do I just need more elbow grease?

Ta!

RE: How to keep your Kicks fresh - ez-1 - 01-01-12

More elbow grease or more Magic Eraser Laughing.
But if you are tying to get your 80's supes spotless then I can only wish you good luck. I still haven't figured out how to get those shells/midsoles clean.

EDIT

Try to rub clockwise and anti-clockwise and you have to apply JM enough that it really foams.
