Clean Kicks

If you know me, I’m always on the go. Oftentimes I tire myself out with a full schedule of back-to-back meetings, events, photoshoots, editing, etc. It’s especially difficult to find the time to clean my beloved sneakers.

After many years of being a sneakerhead, I still go back to X Sneaker Care due to the company’s products being both environmentally friendly and effective. Most importantly, I never need to spend more than a few minutes to quickly scrub a dab of the foam cleaner to take off any stains or marks.

Oftentimes with other cleaners, there’s a funky or artificial scent that often lingers on my shoes; however, it’s quite the opposite with X Sneaker Care. X Sneaker Cleaner features a bamboo scent that’s 99 percent vegetable-derived, ensuring a more natural way to maintain your sneakers. A few quick swipes with the boar bristle brush and all defects were gone in a mere few minutes. I dried my shoes with the microfiber cloth to grab any leftover dirt, then topped off my like-new sneakers with the water and stain repellent. Throughout the years, I found that this does maintain my footwear for a longer duration than if I didn’t spray them.

The essential kit comes complete with a small handy bag making it easy to keep all your cleaning materials in one space. Oddly, not enough companies offer this small amenity.

You can purchase the kit I used here (X Refresh + Repel Sneaker Cleaner Essential Kit). With many people quarantining, there has never been a better time to give your favorite grails a quick shine. When this pandemic ends, all your kicks will look brand new after using X Sneaker Care.
