Cleaning the Dirtiest $500 Air Jordan Concord 11's

These Air Jordan 11's came in for a restoration and they were caked in mud. After cleaning off the mud, I was surprised to see the mesh still dirty. I tried countless methods and I was losing hope. I gotta hand it to Bar Keepers Friend to finish the job. Whitening the mesh was the most stressful part. I fixed the 23 on the heel by making my own stencil. They're for sale on my eBay page. They're $22 for 8 peices

Great results John. They look Amazing.........

[@ptzish]

You can often get good results with iron remover, like White Ox. Most dirt, especially red clay, has iron in it and the iron is tough to get out. That's why blood is hard to get out of fabrics. Also, if you scrub them under water with cleaning solution in it you'll stand a much better chance of lifting the stains out. When you scrub them out of water the dirt has no where to go. You're just rubbing it around / into the fabric.

[@cloudsenpai9258]

It can get messy, but I've gotten out the toughest stains, in literally anything, even blood lmao. You mix baking soda, peroxide, and dish soap, and make sort of like a paste, scrub it in if you have to, and then pour vinegar over the stain and leave it for at least an hour, it should either go away or lighten tremendously. And then u repeat as necessary. But it may have to be applied slightly different for shoes.

[@orlandosanchez9719]

OxyClean Max Force. You're going to want to spray it on there and let it do what it does, reapply every few hours. It'll break the stain out. You then hit it with your cleaner and then run it through the washer. Also, use a laundry detergent with OxyClean. I clean all my white fabric shoes this way.

[@johnandrew00]

Got it. I did use oxyclean max force but i only let it sit for 15 minutes

[@terrylwalker295]

You gotta use platinum dawn blue dish soap. It works way better to me inbmy opinion. I use oxyclean ax like you do the gel and the spray. They work 90 percent of the time but the platinum dawn works 99 percent of the time I guarantee it.😊

I mean the sides literally fell apart from minimal usage. These shoes I have worn maybe about 15 times the upper parts look like semi new. Just the bottoms on one the material I guess from age just broke apart. They are from 2010 I think. Can you help me at all?.. Thank you for your time 🇨🇦🥓
