Jason Markk works better than anything, you can buy a combo solution/brush, spend a couple of extra dollars and get the softer brush and pick up the drying towel too. It might seem like alot of money but it is worth it. If you pour some solution into a bowl it last longer than the way thier instructional video shows you. You can stretch a good 10 pairs till you need to change the water. jasonmarkk.com

I had wondered how good it is, I almost bought it because i needed something to clean my shoes, and their packaging is designed nicely. Did you see the Jason Markk x UNDFTD package, oh my, functional and oh so pretty. I just checked the site and they're sold out of a lot of stuff, restocking next week supposedly. I might make a purchase upon your recommendation.

The undftd one is nice but it is the same but more money I almost picked one up when I was in LA last week at undefeated, but the cleaner is amazing!

Any tips on really cleaning the shell of white superstars.. On one of my most beloved pairs there are stains all over the shell and i have tried toothpaste, bleach the lot =[ with a toothbrush and the stains just wont come out :@

EDIT.

Good news - Tried some bleach again on the shells and its helped a lot on one of the shoes but theres a couple of orange stains from i dont know where on them which wont come out. They look much better though.

BAD FUCKING NEWS - Even though i had a towel on my legs, the bleach ran through the towel + onto my jeans and there stained now.. levis too :@ + then like a retard i changed into some decent joggers which cost 30 quid and put the towel back on my legs and cleaned some other trainers without bleach but like the fool i am forgot that the towel has bleach on so yer im SCREWIN.

I keep my Superstars ALWAYS clean, pristine and immaculate.

I've tried more than a few ways and I've got the solution that works best for me. It's cheap and works every time! Cleans every part of the shoe including the shell toe very easily!

OxyClean spray (Not the powder, get the Spray!)
Upholstery Brush
White Microfiber towel
Water


I get the OxyClean at the grocery store, The lint free towels and brush I found at my local Autoparts store when I was buying car wax...
(I don't think I'll ever try out that Jason Markk stuff. Just the box alone looks too damn expensive for me.)

I spray a small amount of Oxy on the shoe and on the brush bristles. I dip the brush in warm water and lightly **LIGHTLY!!** scrub the shoe. It's important to dip the brush in water because you'll only get Oxyclean to activate and foam up when it mixes with water. Trust me, don't use the Oxy without plenty of water. It's pointless. Once this is done, I rinse off the soapy residue with water and wipe off the entore shoe thouroughly with the microfiber towel. Easy!

good tip. i've been using a toothbrush and toothpaste to good effect, but I've got some denim bleed on the back of my Upper Playgrounds that is a bit stubborn. I'll have to try this method out.

OxiClean is actually a laundry detergent... it started out as a powder only that you use when washing clothes. A couple years ago, they came out with a spray version which is a stain pre-treatment. I actually stumbled across it when I was looking for a spray to clean my couch armrests.

The stuff works great. Do they carry it in Germany? If so, Try this method out, It's worked for me every time.
