I always
AGREED. I never bought into Jason Markk. You don't need to spend $XX when you already have an extra tooth brush and dish detergent...
I'd NEVER try this. I machine wash practically all my runners, and air dry is the only method I use...
Agreed. All of these "premium" shoe cleaners marketed towards sneakerheads are just different formulations of soaps and water. These guys aren't putting some miracle cleaning agent into their product.
Give me a firm bristled tootbrush, some dish detergent or Ivory bar soap and hot tap water and I'll see the same results for a fraction of the price.
Repped.
The thing is that people see "premium shoe cleaners" such as Jason Markk to be more valuable marketable than the latter, even though they work just about the same. People are willing to pay for something with a name attached to it, which can be said about anything. Jason Markk further exploits consumers' sheepish nature by producing limited edition collaborations with streetwear labels and otherwise hype-y companies, knowing that it inevitably brings them even more profit. If someone on here wants to pay for that, that's their decision. . But to anyone who asks how to clean Flyknit's, my response will almost always be a washing machine, or a toothbrush and soap. No need to pay for a solution when you've got it lying around the house.
