The Military Black Air Jordan 4 is one of 2022's best releases, and you weren't shy about it. We've received countless comments, DMs, and Tweets all wondering the same thing..."What's the best way to clean the Military Black 4s?"

Our shoe care experts came up with a foolproof method to clean your Military Black 4s. Let's get right into it! 

Here’s what you need:

Signature Kit

Our flagship cleaning kit is equipped to handle even the dirtiest of Air Jordans. The Solution and Premium Brushes should have no trouble cleaning up the Military Black 4s

Sneaker Laundry Detergent

The engine for the Laundry System. Deep clean your Military 4s in the washing machine with these powerful Detergent Pods. 

Dry Suede Kit

Cleaning suede can be scary — not anymore! Erase stains from any suede with the Dry Suede Kit. 

Brass Bristle Brush

Crunchy suede is the worst. You know what’s the best? The Brass Brush. It eliminates crunchy suede in just a few swipes. Keep your suede buttery soft with this must-have brush. 

How to Start:

Remove the shoelaces and insert the Adjustable Shoe Tree. This will allow you to properly clean the toe box and prevent it from creasing during the cleaning process. 

Using the Soft Brush, dry brush the entire shoe to remove loose dirt and debris. This will make the cleaning process less messy when we introduce Solution into the equation. 

What’s Next?

Use the Soft Brush to clean the entire upper portion of the shoes, including the sock liner, tongue, and interior. This brush will create a lot of suds, so keep your Microfiber Towel on deck to wipe off excess moisture. 

Now, use the Medium Brush to scrub the midsole. Pay close attention to the deeper stains that may not have come out with the Soft Brush. 

Finally, scrub the outsole with the Stiff Brush. This brush should not be used on any other part of the shoes. 

Wait..in the Washing Machine?

Yes, the Military Black Jordan 4s are safe to put in the washing machine. Make sure you use our Sneaker Laundry Bag and Detergent for the best results. 

Dry Suede Arsenal

Our lineup of suede-specific products is bigger than you probably realize. We used both the Dry Suede Kit and Brass Brush on the Military Black 4s to bring its suede back to life. 

Buttery suede is the only acceptable outcome. After erasing stains with the Dry Suede Kit. gently brush the suede back and forth with the Brass Bristle Brush until soft.
