How We Revived Off-White Jordan 5s: Cleaning Fraying Mesh and Restoring the Midsole
What is this material?
Off-White Jordan 5s feature a unique plastic mesh upper — a material that not only clings onto lint and dirt but also frays easily with regular wear. Cleaning them isn’t as simple as running a brush over the surface. Dirt and grime often get trapped underneath the mesh, making it difficult to restore the sneaker’s fresh look with basic tools.
That’s why at Revive Kicks, we go beyond surface-level cleaning to truly revive your sneakers.
🧽 The Transformation Process:
For this project, we started with a simple Exterior Cleaning, but with extra attention to the details:
- Carefully cleaning the mesh to remove trapped dirt and lint
- Treating frayed areas to minimize further wear
- Deep cleaning the laces and midsole
- Finishing the restoration with a midsole repaint to cover up scuffs and bring the pair back to life
🧼 Products We Used:
All cleaning was done using our Revive Kicks Premium Shoe Cleaner Kit, a powerful all-in-one solution that handles delicate materials safely and effectively.
