The sneakers requested this time are the Nike Air Jordan 1 High OG "Lost & Found/Chicago"
Vintage-inspired Air Jordan 1 "Chicago"
Many of the parts used in the upper are made of special materials, and if not cared for correctly, the damage could become serious.

Now let's start cleaning.
First, keep your sneakers in shape with Deodrant Shoe Keeper.
Then, use a Cleaning Blush to carefully remove any dust from the upper surface.
The crack leather used in the uppers of these shoes is, as the name suggests, a leather surface with fine cracks. These cracks are perfect places for dust to accumulate.
So, move the bristles of the brush in different directions.
The fine, flexible boar bristle brush reaches every corner of the cracks and removes invisible dust.
After removing the dust from the surface, use Foam Cleaner 200ml.
The key point here is to thoroughly clean each part.
The reason is that the red upper part of the AJ1 will almost always fade, and there is a concern that the color will transfer to other parts, so it is essential to take the time to clean each part separately.
First, the white upper part. This part is made of delicate cracked leather, so gently move the surface in a circular motion.
This allows you to reach the gaps and thoroughly clean them without damaging the cracked leather.
Then clean the red upper part in the same way, using small circular movements.
The foam will turn red, but at this point, remain calm and continue cleaning, then carefully move on to other parts.
Also, the fact that the color fades easily means that uneven coloring is likely to occur.
Avoid cleaning just one area thoroughly, but brush the entire surface evenly.
Once you have cleaned the entire upper, wipe off the cleaner thoroughly with a Cleaning Microfiber Towel and your cleaning is complete.
This time we are also accepting orders for options.
The options ordered this time were Shoe Guards 2.0 installation (included in the price of the product) and KicksWrap Premium wrapping (includes one pair of Dryers).
In addition to these, we have a wide range of other options available, so please check out our website.
First, we will install the Shoe Guards 2.0 (price includes the product).
The process is simple: remove the original insole, check the left and right sides of the Shoe Guards, push them into the toe area, and then put the original insole back in to complete the process.
Shoe Guards 2.0 can help minimize the creases that occur when wearing your sneakers, helping to prevent cracks and tears caused by creases.
This simple step will help prevent your sneakers from deteriorating, so it's definitely something you should do.
Next we move on to the KicksWrap Premium wrapping process.
First, insert the Dryers into your sneakers and then place the sneakers inside the KicksWrap Premium.
Then, after tightly sealing the opening of the bag with a sealer or similar, apply heat with a hair dryer or heat gun in the following order: both sides, then the front and back, then the outsole.
As the film shrinks, the air inside slowly escapes through the small holes in the toes.
Be careful not to apply heat too quickly as this may cause the item to burst.
By applying heat thoroughly to the entire surface and shrinking the film, it will adhere to the sneakers, seal the holes, and protect the sneakers from outside moisture and air.
To finish, spray them with Waterproof Spray, which is a premium sneaker cleaning bonus, then place them in the Shoes Bag 2.0 to finish the process.
It is rare for sneakers to lose color when cleaned to the extent that these sneakers are, and it can be difficult to do so, but if you follow the correct steps and methods, you can care for them and I believe you will be able to enjoy wearing them for a long time to come.
Thank you so much for entrusting such a valuable pair of sneakers to us.
