The Air Jordan 1 Low x Travis Scott Phantom is a coveted sneaker that combines the iconic Air Jordan silhouette with Travis Scott’s unique design flair. These sneakers, with their distinctive reversed Swoosh and premium materials, are a prized possession for any sneakerhead. However, even the most beloved sneakers can show signs of wear over time. At Sneakerse Care, we specialize in cleaning and restoring these iconic sneakers, ensuring they look as good as new. In this blog, we’ll take you through our meticulous process of cleaning and restoring the Air Jordan 1 Low x Travis Scott Phantom, including how we used Angelus Suede Dye to bring the faded suede back to life.
Initial Assessment and Cleaning
1. Thorough Inspection:
The restoration process begins with a detailed inspection of the sneakers. We assess the overall condition, identifying areas that require special attention, such as dirt, scuffs, and faded suede.
2. Pre-Cleaning Preparation:
Before starting the cleaning process, we remove the laces and insoles. This allows us to clean each component thoroughly and ensures that no area is overlooked.
3. Surface Cleaning:
Using a gentle yet effective sneaker cleaner, we carefully clean the surface of the sneakers. This step removes dirt and grime from the leather, midsole, and outsole. We use soft brushes and microfiber cloths to ensure that the cleaning process does not damage the delicate materials.
Restoring the Faded Suede
1. Identifying Faded Areas:
Suede is a luxurious material, but it can fade and lose its vibrancy over time. We carefully identify all the faded areas on the sneakers to ensure a consistent restoration.
2. Using Angelus Suede Dye:
To restore the rich, dark hue of the suede, we use Angelus Suede Dye, known for its high quality and long-lasting results. Here’s how we apply it:
• Preparation: The faded suede areas are cleaned again to remove any residual dirt and oils that could interfere with the dye absorption.
• Dye Application: Using a fine brush, we carefully apply the Angelus Suede Dye to the faded areas. We use multiple thin layers to achieve an even and consistent color without oversaturating the material.
• Drying and Setting: After applying the dye, we allow the suede to dry completely. This ensures that the dye sets properly and achieves a uniform color.
Final Touches and Protection
1. Reassembling the Sneakers:
Once the cleaning and dyeing processes are complete, we reassemble the sneakers by reinserting the insoles and lacing them up with fresh, clean laces.
2. Protective Coating:
To protect the restored suede and other materials, we apply a high-quality sneaker protector. This coating helps repel water, dirt, and stains, keeping the sneakers looking pristine for longer.
3. Final Inspection:
Before returning the sneakers to their owner, we conduct a final inspection to ensure that every detail meets our high standards. This includes checking for color consistency, cleanliness, and overall appearance.
