🧦 Why the Inside Tongue Gets So Messy
If you wear Nike SBs or any sneaker with a puffy tongue or padded liner, you know how quickly the inside can get covered in lint, fuzz, and sock residue. It’s one of the most overlooked areas when cleaning — but one of the easiest to refresh.
✂️ How We Clean It Up
Today, we used a simple lint shaver to trim down all the sock lint and fabric buildup from the inside tongue of a pair of Nike SBs.
✅ Just a few gentle passes and the fabric looked brand new again
✅ No water, no chemicals, no damage to the material
This is the kind of subtle detail that separates a worn sneaker from a fresh one.
