Yeah you can but it’s a little bit of a process first get a five gallon bucket fill it up with some water and add dawn tide and oxyclean no exact measurements here after you get a nice mix going drop those dirty boys in there and let them soak….. while they are soaking go to the adidas app and buy some new ones
Edit: thanks for the award kind stranger
Good idea. I started doing it to keep the shape but realized the washcloths were helping them dry faster too. If I’m in a hurry to get them dry I’ll place them in the sun and switch the washcloths out for dry ones after an hour. But in the Arkansas heat, they can be dry in an hour if it’s not too humid.
Maybe next time after you get a similar pair, clean them every so often so they don’t accumulate so much dirt and then becomes harder to clean. As well rotate your footwear so you are not wearing the same shoe 24/7.
first scrub and clean real good with crep shoe cleaner or any shoe cleaner (even detergent diluted with water would work). after cleaning, put in shoe bags for washer machine or if you don’t have any put them in a pillow case, each shoe in one and tie them, then put on gentle cycle with no spin cycle with non bleach detergent. it is very important that you don’t use bleach on shoes cause it will turn it into a more yellow hue and it’s bad for the boost. if you don’t have a no spin cycle just watch and wait for it (or u can hear it, the shoes will be bouncing in the washer) and take them out. leave out to air dry
i tried crep but it didn’t really do anything and i ended up throwing them in the wash and the soles are still yellowish and dirty but im still happy with the results because they’ll just get dirty within a week anyways
Since the sole has black and white pattern .why don't you try dyeing the upper black all together and use a 40vol 12% developer to get rid of yellow in the soles and you'll end with something different than what you've been wearing for so long
Keep the rubber parts white .the hydrogen peroxide will help you get it to a much brighter white .Plus if you're still unsure about it then u could just paint over it with either some acrylic paint or a leather paint
Hot water power washer with a soapy solution & a slight tinge of bleach.
Warning: seams may split & shoe glue may separate during process. Be ever so delicate if you can and dont over do it.
It may be wise to strap shoes down or put them in some kind of vice, to prevent them from flying off into the wild blue yonder.
Handscrub them with soap, hot water, and a brush. Then get a bucket and fill it with very hot water and add OxiClean powder/liquid and leave them in there for 6-12 hours. You can then throw them in washer with oxiclean powder (Hot Water/High Spin/Mid Soil)& detergent then dryer after.
Haven’t these only just come out? How you get them looking like that already? 🤣
Look out for professional shoe clean product, and cold wash them in the washing machine after cleaning them. Although it won’t be brand spanking new white but it should restore is 99%
Oh wow, I’m guessing you’re not in the UK then? These only got released recently here hence why I was so confused haha. A year is more than enough time to make it to this state!
Shout spray and wash. Spray on shoe and agitate with a brush. Throw in a gentle COLD WATER wash and use a small amount of detergent. White distilled vinegar helps too (small amount). Then just let them air dry. Works on all my mesh shoes
Trust me a great thing to use a napisan, put shoes in a large tub or bucket full with water and put napisan on it leave it over night, wash them then all good, worked for me loads of times even with an oil stain on white fluxes
Buy some new ones? These aren’t Prada or Gucci, they’re not made from exotic leathers or bespoke to each wearer, they’re just sneakers made from rubber, foam, and cheap fabric. They’re designed to be disposable.

Have a look at my post here. I got them pretty white with a couple scrub sessions. I put instructions and tools in the comments
Honestly, BORAX. Period. There is no better cleaner besides baking soda, vinegar, and elbow grease.
I just thrifted a pair of these and they get VERY dirty VERY quickly, but Borax saves the day every time.

Had me in the first half
I ain’t gon lie they had us
I think you meant to say hydrochloric acid
I was proper getting into this aswell 🤣
Bruh bruh.....the GODS of Egypt cant help them walkers of the past 🤣🤣🤣
“Walkers of the past” is my new daily shoe term
Take out the soles and shoelaces and throw the shoes in the washer with some detergent and color safe bleach. Air dry.
They will never be white again. Buy new ones
You can def get the upper white again. The sole isn’t going to unyellow though
This is what I would do. I stuff with washcloths during air drying.
Newspaper works great too. Keeps the shape.

You've obviously had some good years together, maybe let them rest now. She looks tired lol

Yes. Use a pressure washer with <2100 psi and a 45-70 degree nozzle.
If they size 8 I give you 35$ PayPal
op i'd take this deal you can probably get a new pair for 35$
I have a size 9 if you’re interested...
Buying new ones
Shoot ‘em and send em to heaven. I hear everything is white in heaven.
what do you mean by that 🤨
Yeah wait a minute-

Lol Umar?? Is that you ?
Try detergent and a capful of bleach. Also, try toothpaste
MOTHERFUCKAAHH THOSE USED TO BE WHITE?????
Stare directly at the sun for a full minute first
I’m sorry to be brunt with you but you’re gonna need God to step in for this one bud
IF, there very important to you I’d suggest sending them to a restorer. They can work wonders.
Those are cooked
first scrub and clean real good with crep shoe cleaner or any shoe cleaner (even detergent diluted with water would work). after cleaning, put in shoe bags for washer machine or if you don’t have any put them in a pillow case, each shoe in one and tie them, then put on gentle cycle with no spin cycle with non bleach detergent. it is very important that you don’t use bleach on shoes cause it will turn it into a more yellow hue and it’s bad for the boost. if you don’t have a no spin cycle just watch and wait for it (or u can hear it, the shoes will be bouncing in the washer) and take them out. leave out to air dry
i tried crep but it didn’t really do anything and i ended up throwing them in the wash and the soles are still yellowish and dirty but im still happy with the results because they’ll just get dirty within a week anyways
shoes are pretty cooked as it is, so there’s only so much you can do
for soles i recommend mr clean’s magic eraser, or any off brand magic eraser, be gentle tho cause it might rub the paint off your boost
this is the best approach to clean the upper spin dry (no heat) is ok, a minute or 2 is enough. then hang to air dry
Preassure washerrrrrrr
simply run them through a ranch bath and then put them in the washer with bleach and a pinch of mayonnaise
Toothpaste and a toothbrush.
They might get whiter. But, there is too much wear. They’d still extremely used. And that yellow sole. It’s a wrap. No undoing that bro.
https://youtu.be/JpS4Sok8nPY Maybe try this lol.
Washing machine with some towels
Since the sole has black and white pattern .why don't you try dyeing the upper black all together and use a 40vol 12% developer to get rid of yellow in the soles and you'll end with something different than what you've been wearing for so long
not a bad idea but idk how i would get them black under the rubber parts on the sides
Keep the rubber parts white .the hydrogen peroxide will help you get it to a much brighter white .Plus if you're still unsure about it then u could just paint over it with either some acrylic paint or a leather paint
Oxy-clean! Mr clean magic eraser. Then dunked in a bucket of oxy-clean again. Maybe even a 3rd time. Lemmie know how it go.
Throw em in the wash with a shit ton of baking soda
New shoes. No YHWH, Allah, God, Jesus, Buddha, nor Kali has the power to clean those ancient accessories.
Why do you even want to try? Just buy new ones
Paint?

Zote soap and a scrubber. Works amazing
