Just got a new pair of Gucci Ace × Disney, they almost started creasing but your lacing method saved them from going to a point of no return. Thank you for a wonderful video.
Im so glad to hear that Nicolas ! Thanks for your kind words
@@CharbelSalemSLA hello
I need advice quick...
I have a pair of Adidas white leather sneakers with the black stripes on the side what happens if they got soaked by accident...
I don't wanna throw them in the washing machine so what do I do I mean they are really silking wet
Please help
@@gwyndalinascott6471 Hey Gwyndalina, Place them in the sun for a day starting with the soles down, then flip them and have the soles facing up. The idea is to ensure no moisture remains in there which could lead to a bad smell. If they are dirty you’ll need to deep clean them AFTER drying them out following the steps in this video. Hope this helps
Just one small thing, if you want leather shoes to last you need a moisturizer. Leather is skin, just like our skin it needs to be moisturized to not dry. saphir renovateur is the best but cheaper stuff also works.
apply water repellent first then the moisturizer, or in what order?
@@rahmatputrasafira8674 moisturizer first. Wait to dry, then use replant
Would you apply a thin layer of wax?
@@petergriffinson1907 If it's a pair of dress shoes, yes atleast once! but if you want to have a mirror shine then you have to do it regularly. I'm unsure on sneakers as I don't own a pair of leather sneakers
Thanks a lot man. Was looking for a way to nourish the white leather Sneakers without darkening the leather.
I used to get leather sneakers when I was a kid and they always ended up creasing and getting dirty so I just wore fabric ones for the longest time but just bought a pair of white leather ones so now it's time to learn how to properly care for them, thanks for this video!
This video is amazing! Just bought a few pairs of white leather sneakers. Your video was beautiful, and showed me everything I needed to know to take proper care of them. Thanks!
Thanks so much for the lovely comment. Glad this video helped !
@@CharbelSalemSLA 🤍🤍
Dude amazing quality video. I just got a pair of Santoni sneakers and this video is all I needed cheers!
Thanks a lot bud ! Glad it helped !
Another level for treating your shoe
Everything that I learned the hard way, summed up in a 5 minute video, awesome.
Thanks so much Eddie !
So incredibly useful! Loved this
Glad it helped !
This video is perfect i just got a pair of Luxembourg LV’s. Thanks man!
Also would you advise the jason markk repel for white leather?
Angelo Torres thanks a lot man ! Love the LVs, great choice. Yes I do recommend JM’s repel for white sneakers - ideally applied after cleaning. I’ll be posting a step by step video soon on how to clean delicate white leather using JMs product :)
THANKS!
Thanks for sharing 👍

Thought you must be more than a milli than looked but man your content is butter.
Thanks so much man. Stay tuned for new content soon !
One major thing is missing - the conditioning of a leather! You can't just wipe them and wash the soles, you have to condition the leather as it will become dry over the course of time.. So what to use on a white pair of sneakers? Some Saphir white cream?
I see you with the TUMI bag at the end! Few know about this
I see you got good taste !

Amazing video... Classy and informative...
Thanks a lot !
@@CharbelSalemSLA check out basic supply if you haven't already...the premium calf skin leather is gold standard and its so luxurious...keep up the great work bro...
@@riggzpillay9167 thanks bud! Will check it out
Great video! Feels like a sponsored video tbh. But the production quality is amazing! But maybe try speaking a bit slower; It feels like you were being rushed. Also spot on with the tips. Very concise and no bs. I appreciate how you promoted wooden shoe trees over plastic ones. Had to sub because I’m looking forward to more quality content.
Thanks so much ! I Maybe should’ve charged Jason M for this hahaha.
And thanks for the feedback ! You are right I was trying to “force fit” my voice overs over the footage. I prioritized people that prefer concise information and thought you could always play it back. But valid points ! Thanks so much for subscribing!
Great video mate but you don't need those sneaker wet wipes, standard baby wipes are perfect and a fraction of the price, yes the come in small packets great for travelling but you can figure out how to carry a few.
White shoe cream/polish is a god send too for touching up and to get the stitching back nice and bright.
Hey man. Thanks for your feedback. I actually used wet wipes for the last couple of years (the high end ones) and noticed they all left a small patch on my white leather shoes that is visible in bright sunlight. As I mention in the video, while the jason markk wipes appear to be a luxury, they are actually free from harmful oils and offer the 2 side feature.
Regarding the polish and shoe cream, always use these as last resort, not as substitutes for shoe cleaner. These add an extra layer/cover on top of the shoe’s original material. I would only use polish and shoe cream when my leather is scratched and definitely not on a weekly basis like I do with the shoe cleaner (assuming I wear them frequently).
Thanks again for watching !
@@CharbelSalemSLA Hold up, you apply Jason Markk shoe cleaner weekly? I'm confused, I thought it war every 6 months?
@@utarian7 hello, i never specified the frequency. It’s usually when you feel your shoes need to be cleaned beyond the wipes.
@@CharbelSalemSLA Thanks very much for your replies in both comments. Appreciate your content!
Check out basic supply primo collection bro they are super clean and an absolute value for money...honestly they can go toe to toe with Common Projects and are 100% Italian made...
Very helpful & informative. However, i just got a new pair of northampton white sneakers. Should i use any Conditioner/wax/cream products? If yes, is there any product recommendation? Thank you so much
When letting sneakers “reset” do they stiffen up? I always notice my shoes being very uncomfortable until mid day then they feel molded to my feet.
Subscribed. Even thou I don't have shoes.
Hey, thanks for the great video, mind telling us where you got those sneakers with a black pattern on the tongue?
Hey Vlad. Glad you enjoyed the video. These are a collaboration between Hugo Boss and the German porcelain designer “Meissen”. Hence the black pattern on the tongues. Hugo boss did a whole clothing collection named after the designer with such patterns. They even sold home decor accessories for the first time as part of that same collection. Thanks for watching !
Great Video , i i Appreciate you took the time To Share proper way to Care for Leather Sneakers , I Have Several Pair that Needs some T.l.c and They are mad at Me lol..But Now i can put a smile on their faces...
Thanks a lot man ! Such comments keep me going. I have some more videos coming soon. Lol you show them some love now
Aww man my Reebok classic are now ruined after watching this video 🤦🏻♀️ I wished I came across this sooner.
Haha😂 now you know #cuphalffull
JM foam or normal soap water is better for CP shoes?
Thanks for this fantastic video. I've been looking into adding some Beckett Simonon sneakers to my wardrobe. Where did you get the no show socks?
Thanks Eric ! I got mine from hugo boss and calvin klein
@@CharbelSalemSLA thank you!
Is white saddle soap OK for sneakers? I've used a bit of it on black leather skate shoes and it's been great. I don't have a lot of white sneakers or sneakers in general but I figure it's best to start taking care of the ones I do own so I don't just toss them and get new ones.
Should be fine. Just make sure the product is suitable for the color of the sneakers. Always brush your sneakers before starting the cleaning process to get rid of dirt that could end up being rubbed into the leather.
Absolutely! Take care of your gear and clothes and go the extra mile to clean them properly if you want to get the best bang for your hard earned buck. Thanks for the comment !
Thanks for this video! I recently bought white Louis Vuitton Charlie sneakers.. Supposedly it's made of sustainable materials... Do you recommend a protecting spray before use? I really want to care for them well. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Yes absolutely. Just don’t over do it (spray from a distance, don’t over-wet them, and leave them to dry overnight before wearing them). The rest of the tips in the video should also help. Enjoy !
can i use the shoe cleaner on the leather and if so would i use the brush or a microfiber cloth ?
If you’re talking about the shoe cleaner in the video, you shouldn’t apply it directly on the leather.
You add a few drops on the brush, dip it water, shake off the excess liquid, and apply it to the leather with a soft bristles brush until it foams. You then use the microphone fiber cloth to soak up the foam and wipe the shoes clean. Let me know if I answered your question:)
What’s your technique for hidden laces like on your CP’s @ 2:35?
Hey Tom, once I reach the top, I take the right lace and go inside the left top shoe hole. I would then take the left lace and go inside the top right one. So the top hole on both sides will have an overlap. Before wearing them i would just make sure the laces are tucked inside the shoe comfortably instead of tying them.
02:20 - so artsy... what edition is that?!
This is Hugo boss’ collaboration with german luxury porcelain designer Meissen.
What about using leather conditioner on white leather?
I don’t personally use a leather conditioner except on suit shoes (derbies, oxfords etc.). Keep in mind that leather conditioner works best on true leather and that most white leather sneakers (e.g Nike) are faux leather and so conditioning won’t be necessary. For calfskin white leather, if you insist, make sure you are using a sneakers conditioner solution as opposed to leather furniture conditioner. And if you are planning to use a conditioner on dark leather, it might alter the color or darken it. Always try a small spot first as a test to check. Hope this helps
just spent close to $2400 on two pair of sneakers from Kiton and Ermenegildo Zegna and want them to last a while... this was helpful..
Congrats ! Glad this helped
Wow. Some people really like shoes. I just wear them.
All is valid if the modern sneakers were not intentionally made with very weak sole. The leather could last years, but the sole is intended to last as long as the producer desires. Buy, consume and throw in the trash bin - that is the idea of the mass producer.
Fair point with some brands. However i’ve owned both luxury pairs shown in the video for 2 years now and you’d think I’ve had them for a month :)
Should we apply a waterproofer before wearing them?
As soon as you finish cleaning them, apply the repel and leave it on to dry for 12-24h before wearing them. Don’t apply the repel excessively
Isn't too harsh to just clean them with solvent and then not condition them after? What about applying Saphir nappa cream after the jason markk cleaner?
The JM product is not harsh at all (it’s almost like soapy water). Conditioning every now and then is definitely not a bad idea !
Actually shoe trees observe moist. I could be wrong
question for you ; why jason markk on full grain leather sneaker and not real products for leather like saphir renovator and horsehair brush?
Thanks for your comment and question Johnny. I never claimed Jason Markk products to be the ONLY option available but I have tried several products and found those to be the most delicate and effective. The brush that is being used can be of the same material (e.g. horsehair) but make sure to be using brushes with bristles on the softer end of the spectrum as harder brushes tend to scratch delicate leather. I’m not familiar with the Saphir renovator but if it’s a form of shoe polish it’s not exactly relevant for “everyday care” and should only be used when the leather is deeply scratched. Hope this helps.
@@CharbelSalemSLA thank you boss!!!! more videoss pls we wanna see more :p
@@JohnnyVichi next video coming this month ! Thanks a lot for your support and please subscribe if you haven’t !
What white sneakers are these 😍
Common projects and Hugo Boss are shown in this video
I'll just buy new ones...
Are plastic shoe trees bad for the shoes?
They are not bad per say but they aren’t as good as cedar shoe trees for 2 reasons:
1- they don’t absorb moisture
2- they only hold the front side shape of the shoes as opposed to the whole shoe
After a few minutes I just realized this is not Alex Costa video 🗿
I suppose that’s a compliment 😂?
Nice clean sneakers you got, especially those from Boss, Mirage Tenn , how they are holding up ?? they are TTS.? i wear european 42. wide feet, what size you recommend ? Thx.
They’re great ! Worth every penny. Yeah buy your size
@@CharbelSalemSLA Great !!
Good video but would have been better to show cleaning some actually dirty shoes to shoe how to restore them, rather than very mildly dirty shoes.
What socks is that ?
Calvin Klein and Boss no show socks
What is that white sneaker :) ?
2 of them appear in the video. One is common projects and the other is Boss
High wuality
That’s how we roll !
Where do you get leather sneakers? Nothing is good quality anymore
I aim for calfskin leather. It’s the best in terms of quality. Luxury brands usually design their shoes with this type of leather (Valentino, Gucci, Boss, Louboutin...). Always check the product description for Calfskin.
So you are not using a repellent spray ? Even though it's clearly visible in the background of the video?
Watch till the end and listen to what im saying buddy
@@CharbelSalemSLA Thanks for answering, I really do appreciate it. However after re-watching it 2x more times, I still couldnt find any mention of "protective spray" (and/or any lotions). So I assume you just dont use it?
What I found was:
Quick wipes, Soft Brush (I assume standard from J&M), deep clean lotion, microfibre towel, Shoehorn,....
I only use it once I deep clean. The same brand offers a good repellent solution. The content is more for day to day care.
@@CharbelSalemSLA Perfect thanks for the clarification. I have just gotten my CP sneakers and just want to make sure that I dont skip some essential step such as "protection" haha.
This is insane. I love a fresh pair of CPs but come on man. This is too much effort haha. Give them a clean now and then. Replace the laces. But really, this is too much.
I ... Just use slipper
I… can tell you do
You never polish them? I use a COLORLESS WAX
i shud rather buy a shoe cleaner

Just getting started. The covid situation delayed many videos. Been shooting some material so stay tuned :) thanks !
@@CharbelSalemSLA Your video quality is legit brother. Keep it up!
@@stjacques15 thanks a lot for the support man. New videos coming soon.
Or don't buy something you cannot afford to care.
A separate point/topic.
And in any case, shoe trees last forever, and the cleaning kit can be used on suede, fly knit, and leather and also has excellent shelf life. Every household should have these.
And lastly on affordability, I can make a great case proving to you that by not caring for your shoes, you end up spending more on new ones than on cleaning solutions ;)
No need of fancy soap. Dishwasher soap is enough. And don’t use wipes, that is for babies butts. Use a proper leather conditioner from a reputable shoe care company like Saphir. Furthmore use shoes trees.
This is bad advice. Dishwasher is harsh and should never be used on premium leather. These are special wipes. They are alcohol free and meant to clean and have a dual purpose as shown in the video. They are not the same ones you wipe your baby’s bum with. Leather conditioner can be helpful definitely. And you mentioning shoe trees means you haven’t watched the video in full ;)
a dozen videos on yt and not a single one showing how to clean the inside of the shoes. Style over substance...
If you follow the tips in this video, you wouldn’t need to clean them from the inside ;). If you find that they are dirty from the inside, it’s probably a hygiene issue (e.g., wearing the same socks from the day before, or not wearing socks at all).
Oh and style > substance.
@@CharbelSalemSLA I do wear socks with my shoes but performance socks always.. super breathable mesh-like fabric... so you think that's the problem?
also, do you have a clue on how to clean the inside and what
products might be suitable for that? I don't wanna damage the fabric nor the glue. can I run a high pressure water jet through it... I have white leather addidas sneakers
@@dn-bayou try the following tips: 1) don’t wear them everyday. 2) take the off as soon as you finish a workout or back home. I would use wet wipes with no alcohol to wipe them from the inside and then make sure they are given enough time to dry. Don’t blast water inside and don’t place them in the washing machine
@@CharbelSalemSLA I'll look for wipes without alcohol in them tomorrow. much appreciated :)
