white leather scuffs mr.clean magic eraser
white canvas or leather might want to try the bleach pen havent done it but i heard recommendations
Jason Markk Shoe cleaner is amazing http://www.jasonmarkk.com/products.html (own this its amazing)
Good Old Tooth paste and shampoo would work as well

If you have ANY type of stubborn dirt/mark on you sneakers get LA's Totally Awesome cleaner.. its at most dollar stores. **** is madd strong so after you're done using it wipe your shoe with a wet cloth (it can literally eat through the leather). I found a pair of air ones i haven't wore in about 2 years in storage and decided to clean them and it got them surpisingly clean. I wish i took before pics cause these came out well (also ironed out creases)

Decreasing. anything with a leather toe can be decreased. Ex. Jordan I - X, Air Force 1, Dunks.
For Warning this only works once if you do it over and over the leather thins

Items needed:

• bout 20 trash bags.
• pillow Case
• 2 cups of water maybe 3

Instructions
Youll need to stuff the toe with Trash bags, until theres no air left in the toe box and the toe looks crease list stick your fingers in the water wipe the water on the toe box get it damp put the white pillow case over the toe box only dampin the part of the pillow that covers the toe box not too much water and iron until the toe box is dry. Let the shoe sit for a minute or two and remove the trash bag ands repeat with the second shoe.




when its done should look like this

I recommend getting a shoe tree

Repainting Midsoles on Jordan IIIs and IVs
Cotton Balls
Rubbing Alcohole (i dont recommend acetone)
Masking Tape
Angelus Leather Paint (google it) I only recommend that type of paint.


Yellowed Toe on Jordan VIIs
Very fine sand paper
Lightly sand the toe of the VIIs this only works on jordan VIIs dont do it on anything else and only the toe. and like the ironing i only recommend this 1 time.


Canvas Shoes

If you have dirty white canvas shoes, make a mixture of like a cup of baking soda, a half cup of oxyclean (detergent or powder), a caps amount of laundry detergent, and splash of bleach inside of a clean container large enough to hold the shoes standing lengthwise.

Fill it with water as hot as your bathtub gives you, and just soak them in there.

Finally got my damn shoes clean

Air Max
Multiple People have said throw them in the wash.

Don't do it. You're going to expose the rubber and it's going to turn more yellow and it's going to do that faster than before.

Ahhh. I just hate walking around with yellow on it.
