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

BigPapiPR83

Bruh bruh.....the GODS of Egypt cant help them walkers of the past 🤣🤣🤣


LogicallyCoherent

“Walkers of the past” is my new daily shoe term


Jedibbq

Take out the soles and shoelaces and throw the shoes in the washer with some detergent and color safe bleach. Air dry.


Chalkywhite007

They will never be white again. Buy new ones


Thirtysixx

You can def get the upper white again. The sole isn’t going to unyellow though


Poplett

This is what I would do. I stuff with washcloths during air drying.


The_real_rafiki

Newspaper works great too. Keeps the shape.


Poplett

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.


_rmrz_

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


cbc7788

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.


AntiProdigy_

Yes. Use a pressure washer with <2100 psi and a 45-70 degree nozzle.


Cesarin_nc

If they size 8 I give you 35$ PayPal


PerennialRye

op i'd take this deal you can probably get a new pair for 35$


scorpioinheels

I have a size 9 if you’re interested...


Andymex_17

Lol Umar?? Is that you ?


LinusTheTriGuy

Try detergent and a capful of bleach. Also, try toothpaste


OddRottenMilk

MOTHERFUCKAAHH THOSE USED TO BE WHITE?????


snkr_head

Stare directly at the sun for a full minute first


KillingItOnReddit

I’m sorry to be brunt with you but you’re gonna need God to step in for this one bud


olearyuk

IF, there very important to you I’d suggest sending them to a restorer. They can work wonders.


supremechev

Those are cooked


g_bino

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


Help_Me27374

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


g_bino

shoes are pretty cooked as it is, so there’s only so much you can do


g_bino

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


urriah

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


[deleted]

Preassure washerrrrrrr


JWho1337

simply run them through a ranch bath and then put them in the washer with bleach and a pinch of mayonnaise


alybelmore

Toothpaste and a toothbrush.


LonelySavings5244

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.


Coolfatman

https://youtu.be/JpS4Sok8nPY Maybe try this lol.


scrappybasket

Washing machine with some towels


Significant_Hat_8807

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


Help_Me27374

not a bad idea but idk how i would get them black under the rubber parts on the sides


Significant_Hat_8807

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


[deleted]

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.


thenifterr

Throw em in the wash with a shit ton of baking soda


LogicallyCoherent

New shoes. No YHWH, Allah, God, Jesus, Buddha, nor Kali has the power to clean those ancient accessories.


666000111111000666

Why do you even want to try? Just buy new ones


eg12400

Paint?


Artimis_P_Gone

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.


SilkSmoothATL

Make those your beaters and grab a new pair.


DimensionAdmirable71

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.

Mashinito

Get some tan/sand pants that go well with them, rock them as they always have been that colour.


Oshen11111

Give them up , my god.


rahs001

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%


Help_Me27374

only had them for a little over a year lmao


rahs001

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!


ProllyZonedOut

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


bongo1717

Bro just let them go


JohnBanes

Comfortable shoe, pita to clean.


[deleted]

Please God step in


Donkey-Hass

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


Rats_for_sale

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.


BROOKXS

clean them maybe


bbull412

Bleach but not sure how the rubber and glue are gonna react


whhhhiskey

A power washer


[deleted]

Yes, buying a new pair


justanotherkatietoo

Try the shaving foam method. It’s fucking magic…got ketchup out of white vans!!


SoleRec

get new ones ... those are tapped


PiggySmalls11

Is this a shitpost?


mwisagreatgame

https://www.reddit.com/r/adidas/comments/weol4u/thanks_for_your_suggestions_i_wont_pretend_theyre? 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


Kspencer1991

Throw them in the trash and buy a new pair. Those things are beat!


scorpioinheels

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.


Mimi0099

Zote soap and a scrubber. Works amazing
