How to Clean Air Jordan 1 Low Rookie of the Year with Reshoevn8r

October 2, 2025

Few sneakers combine heritage and premium materials like the Air Jordan 1 Low Rookie of the Year. Its mix of suede overlays and smooth leather makes it a must-have in any rotation—but also a pair that needs the right care to stay looking fresh.

In this tutorial, our CEO Steve shows how to clean Jordan 1s at home using the Reshoevn8r Signature Shoe Cleaning Kit. The process is simple, straightforward, and doesn’t even require the washing machine.

Step 1: Cleaning with the Signature Shoe Cleaning Kit

Steve starts by preparing the Reshoevn8r Signature Cleaning Solution and working it directly into the uppers with the included brushes. Each brush is designed to target different parts of the sneaker: soft bristles for delicate suede, stiffer bristles for midsoles, and detail brushes for tough spots.

Throughout the cleaning, Steve discovers that a machine wash isn’t necessary. The kit alone lifts out dirt and grime, reviving both suede and leather with ease.

Step 2: Finishing with Mink Oil

After the shoes are fully cleaned and dried, Steve takes things a step further with Reshoevn8r Mink Oil. This conditioner is specially formulated to:

Recondition suede and leather
Restore faded color and vibrancy
Protect materials from drying, cracking, and everyday wear

A few coats of Mink Oil leave the Air Jordan 1 Low Rookie of the Year looking and feeling recharged—soft, vibrant, and ready to last for years to come.

Final Results

From dusty and worn to fresh and revived, this straightforward cleaning proves you don’t always need a washing machine to achieve professional results. With the Signature Shoe Cleaning Kit and Mink Oil, sneaker care becomes simple and effective—even for delicate materials like suede.
