The Best Way to Clean Air Jordan 4s

Welcome to another episode of Shoe Care Academy!

For this installment, Megell will show you the proper way to clean your Air Jordan 4s and what products to use to ensure you don't ruin them.

Megell will use the Reshoevn8r x OxiClean Sneaker + Hat Foam cleaner for this project. It's back in stock but act fast, as we expect these to move quickly again.

Before Megell begins the cleaning, he's blessing all of you with an exclusive promo code. Use "Thunder20" to save 20% sitewide at Reshoevn8r.com for the first 20 orders. Do yourself a favor and grab some Reshoevn8r.

In addition to the OxiClean Foam Cleaner, we'll use our 3 signature brushes, a shoe tree, a dry rack and bowl combo, and a cleaning mat.

Once the shoe tree is inserted and the laces are removed, the first step is to dry brush the first level of dirt off. When dry brushing, be sure that you're using the Soft Bristle Brush and that it's completely dry. 

With a good amount of dirt caught in the meeting and other parts of the Jordan 4, the air compressor is a must.

After dipping the brush in water, Megell applies the foam onto it. Once you start cleaning, be sure to check in periodically by wiping off any excess foam or water with your microfiber towel.

Megell will clean the midsole of the Medium Bristle Brush. Be sure to do a thorough job on that Air unit, as dirt can easily get tucked away. 

Over the years, we've cleaned many Jordan 4s on the channel. Which one is your favorite?

Since these won't be going in the washer, Megell will clean the insoles and inner lining. Once that's done, it's time to work on the outsole with the Stiff Bristle Brush.

With the herringbone traction of the Air Jordan 4, it's common for dirt to get stuck there, so be sure to do a detailed job when cleaning. 

For the laces, you can pump foam into your hand and rub the laces as if you're washing your hands. 

The netting still looks a bit rough, so Megell will do another pass with the Soft Bristle Brush, primarily focusing on the netting areas. The compressor will be helpful for this.

After letting them dry again, the shoe is looking a lot better. 

All that's left to do is lace these up.
