7 Mistakes to avoid when Wearing Sneakers, Sport Shoes

Did you realize that Michael Jordan made over a billion dollars from Nike? It’s been one of his most profitable professional choices, and the shoes have become an industry mainstay for decades.

If you own Air Jordans, you know how valuable the pair is, with some individuals including it in their most valuable collections. Some people will not even contemplate wearing Air Jordans because they are afraid of ruining them. 
But if you want practicality, you should at least bring it with you on occasion.

Don’t worry; I’ve compiled a list of errors to avoid for your shoes.

This guide will teach you when to wear Jordans and what to avoid to keep your pair in excellent shape. Continue reading to find out more, this is generically valid for all Iconic Sports Shoes of any brand, but I will here use the Jordan Brand as example:

General care Rule for Sneakers since over 30 years are:

With frequent use, your sport shoes won’t regain their shape and they degrade faster. That’s why a general rule is to let your Jordans rest for two days whenever you wear them for a day. It becomes an even more serious situation if you sweat a lot!
Wet sport shoes attract fungus and grow bacteries more easy.
Disinfecting spray my help on the inside.

Leather Parts like fat or wax, fabrics like brushing with soap, outer soles can be cleaned with the Soda/vinegar/toothpaste mix.

1. DRESSING IN THE SAME JORDANS EVERY DAY
This is the most terrible of all mistakes, regardless of whether you’re wearing luxury Shoes or a normal pair of sneakers. The main reason you should avoid wearing the same pair is that dampness will cause your shoe leather to become warped. Your shoes will lose their shape and disintegrate faster if you wear them frequently.

As a result, it’s a good idea to rest your Jordans for two days after wearing them for a day. If you sweat a lot, the problem becomes even more serious. In this scenario, you must wait 3-4 days before wearing the shoes again.
That is why you should have at least three pairs of Air Jordans for a weekly rotation. The ideal number is seven, so that you can wear a new pair every day. 

Even a high-quality pair of Sports Shoes won’t survive a year if you don’t follow this procedure. You will also notice a faster depreciation of the shoes’ comfort and outward design.

2. FAILING TO NOT CLEAN YOUR SHOES EVEN for FIVE MINUTES
When you wear your Air Jordans (or alike), make it a habit to clean your shoes before and after each use. Brushing your shoes will just take a few minutes. This will ensure that your sneakers endure longer while retaining their beauty and comfort.

After you’ve finished wearing your Air Jordans, untie them and remove the shoestrings on inside and outside part. This prevents damage to the heel counter. Never remove your shoes by squeezing one heel against another.
Allow your shoes to breathe for a few minutes after that. Regardless of how clean your shoes are, acquire a mud scraper and brush them with it. Do this for 30 seconds to guarantee that stains don’t permeate the leather and cause your shoes to disintegrate faster.

3. USE OF CHEAP CLEANING PRODUCTS
Care items can be found in a variety of places, including supermarkets, shoe stores, and the internet. Because the options of eCommerce, it is now easier to obtain Sport shoe care items. After all, alone American shoppers will spend over $710 billion on online purchases.
Regardless, the quality of these products varies. The first thing to remember is to utilize products made from natural materials. Another pitfall to avoid is buying brushes with expensive wood handles since you’re buying it for the wood rather than the brush hair.

4. YOU DO NOT USE WATER OR STAIN REPELLANTS
Regardless of the quality of your Sport Shoes, you should protect them with “water and stain” repellants. Look for repellants that are water-based and create a breathable barrier. This ensures that any stray liquid will bead off your sneakers as you walk around.

5. YOU ARE NOT STORING THE SNEAKERS ACCORDINGLY
If you collect Air Jordans, having over 20 pairs in their original boxes can clutter your bedroom. Otherwise, having 5-7 pairs of them implies you’re serious about storage. Never put your shoes in a bottom cupboard because it will wrinkle them and cause the leather to break.

The distortion it receives is usually irreparable. Furthermore, incorrect storage allows dust and other dirt to enter the creases and crevices of your shoes. When they’re left this way, they’ll become filthy faster.

6. YOU DO NOT USE SHOE TREES
Most people consider shoe trees to be extravagant for shoes such as Air Jordans. This is more frequent in formal shoes, such as Oxfords. The good news is that the theory applies whether you’re wearing Reeboks or Air Jordans.
You can choose between plastic and cedar shoe trees. You choose the latter because you’re paying a premium for an Air Jordan. The former just causes the leather to stretch out, which helps to maintain their high-end appearance by preventing creases and fractures.
However, your ultimate goal is to purchase cedar shoe trees. They are excellent at keeping the form while removing moisture. It keeps your Air Jordans from discoloring and start stinking.

Asking price for this is about 400.000 USD!

7. YOU ARE NOT KEEPING YOUR LACES CLEAN
Most people overlook the laces on their Sport Shoes. These, like the rest of your sneakers, are prone to filth and dullness over time. That is why, in order to maintain the appearance and style of your sneakers, you must clean them on a regular basis.
Changing the colors brings not only a new look, also it helps maintain good quality laces.

Sneakerheads always maintain spare lace sets in the box since you never know when your existing ones will fail. When cleaning your laces, remove them from the shoes with both hands and wash them with soapy water.

They tear readily if you use bleach or rub them. After you’ve finished washing them, wring them out and hang them to dry before relacing them.

Be very careful using the washing machine with detergents and chemical boosters.
Some shoes do not survive this care.
