Saw the Olympic pack in hand today. IMO gold>bronze>silver.  Gold is easily the best because it has the leather cage.  The bronze is a bit plain but there's just too much going on with the silvers.

i see what you mean, but i've always though the leather cages are a blessing and a curse; confort versus not being able to pop them in the washing machine.

Jackrabbit just shipped my multis. No idea what to wear with them...

I have no shipping notification yet. Sighhhhhh

that's true but would you put a black UB in the washer though? dirt doesn't really show on the uppers so I think the leather cage works well on this CW

Just copped the uncaged solar red boost on finishline restock a big fan of the white boost vs the color boost.

I don't like putting any of my UBs in the washing machine, I consider it a last resort.

 

[enciam]

it the one of the things i like about the UB, the washability. my OGs have been through the wash- more for the boost than the upper. also the reason i passed on the J&Ds

How do you personally clean your boosts then?

Especially OG whites that look like creams.

What's so hard about getting a sneaker brush with a cleaning solution? I use angelus cleaner and the brush they include, it's great and cheap. I haven't gotten to the point where i had use the washer yet.

Last couple days to decide if I should return black uncage...

I sprayed my og whites with oxy clean and threw in washer with detergent and a little bleach a week ago. Couldn't have been happier with results. Looked brand new. Obviously don't throw in dryer

tank does spot cleaning with brush and soap/water unless really necessary to throw in the washer.

 

[tankdayglo]

Yup I don't use anything fancy.

Toothbrush, mild dish soap & water.

For the boost I don't even use wet wipes anymore. I have some really thin reusable peper-like cloths that I wet down w/ water and just give the boost a quick wipe down.

I used to do way more & it's really bad for the boost

Thanks. I was more interested in finding out non washer machine methods since I generally avoid throwing shoes in the wash. I know soap and water work well on the boost portion of the shoe but what are non machine methods are people using to clean the primeknit.

 

[ady2glude707]

Wish I could only use a toothbrush. With kids and them stepping on my shoes, all the damn shoe is dirty.

All my pairs that I threw into the wash 2 or more times have discolored boost

Has a consensus been reached on the best way to make boost white again?

 

[tankdayglo]

 

Not really, some people have simply painted it white.

At the end of the day, even if there were a chemical that would get boost back to white without destroying it, you'd still have to deal with the issue of reapplying the protective coating because otherwise it'll just go back to yellow/discolored really quickly.

[enciam]

yep, you have to learn to live with ever increasing yellowing boost.
