Just last week I was admiring my Adidas American Lux snakeskin sneakers when I realized how filthy they had become. I tried a cloth and warm water (scared i was going to break off the delicate fake scales)– but that failed. Coincidentally the next day I got a box from Jason Markk, the sneaker-obsessed cleaning aficionado sent me his Premium Sneaker Solution kit. The kit includes an 8 oz. bottle of cleaning solution and a gorgeous handcrafted woodblock brush. The soap is 98.3% natural and completely biodegradable– it also doesn’t contain any harsh chemicals or abrasives, it’s made of natural soaps dissolved from coconut and jojoba oils. Alas, an elegant cleaning solution for all sneaker snobs worldwide! More pictures of the packaging and products after the jump.

I’ve been using a microfiber cloth and a spray bottle of water with good results. Not just for shoes, but pretty much everywhere I used to use some kind of cleaning product. Effective and inexpensive, good for the environment as well (so long as making the microfiber cloths doesn’t deplete rainforests or something).

So you use a natural biodegradable solution to clean the shoes that were made in a sweatshop. I guess those cancel each other out.

Would you care to comment on the results of this product? Is it really an improvement or does it just look nice?

Hell yeah I’d rock this on all my kicks. How many products out there that are dedicated to maintain your limited-ed sneaks? If it’s high-end, its gotta have a materials-safe type of solution thats probably better than all the homemade sh*t that I (as well as other cats) have come up with.
