@sneaker_queen97 Heard that baking soda + vinegar combo is :fire:, but the smell… like, hello salad :green_salad: vibes? :thinking: Anyone tried it and lived to tell the tale?

Y’all sleeping on the power of micellar water! :raising_hands: Saved my Nike Dunks. It’s like the skincare routine for your kicks. 10/10 would recommend. :sparkles:

Let’s talk sustainability :globe_showing_europe_africa:: instead of buying new products, I upcycled an old toothbrush and used dish soap. Worked wonders on my Vans! :seedling: Anyone else doing eco hacks?

Low key tried the banana peel trick. Claims to shine leather, but my Jordans were smelling like a fruit market. :banana::man_facepalming: Stick to shoe polish, folks!

Honestly, if your shoes are THAT dirty, just call ‘em vintage and move on. :joy: A little dirt adds character, am I right?

Pro-tip from dorm life: A mix of hydrogen peroxide and water. Legit clears up stains like a charm! But be careful not to bleach your shoes, lol. :artist_palette:

Has anyone else painted over scuffed sneakers as a hack? :artist_palette: My Air Forces are now a canvas. Not really a cleaning hack, but no more ugly marks! #Win

I swear by the magic eraser pads for midsoles. :flexed_biceps: They’re the GOAT! Must have cleaned like 5 pairs with one pad. Packs a punch!

Random thought: Remember when everyone was rubbing toothpaste on everything? :tooth: Those were wild times. Not just shoes, but phone screens. :joy:

Anyone else tried the icy sole hack? Freezing your shoes sounds weird, but the glittery sole game has never been stronger! :snowflake::sparkles: Thoughts?

Found a crazy hack: use a nail polish remover pad for rubber soles. Who knew manicures and sneakers shared tools? :joy:

opinionated_oliver

Unpopular opinion: Let your kicks get dirty, makes ‘em look lived in and loved. Too clean can be sus. :face_with_raised_eyebrow: Who’s with me?
