How to Clean Seafoam Jordan 4s | Nubuck Sneaker Cleaning Guide

Get your sneakers looking brand new with Reshoevn8r’s expert tools and techniques.

The Seafoam Air Jordan 4 is a women’s-exclusive colorway that’s become a summertime sleeper. With its soft green accents, crisp white overlays, and buttery nubuck upper, this sneaker turns heads until dirt and stains dull the shine.

Nubuck is one of the trickiest materials to clean, but with the right tools and process, you can restore your Seafoam 4s back to fresh.

In this episode of Shoe Care Academy, Rob shows you how to properly clean suede and nubuck sneakers using Reshoevn8r products—step by step.

Step 1: Dry Brush to Remove Surface Dirt

Before using any solution, Rob starts with a dry brush to remove loose dirt, dust, and debris. This is a crucial step when handling delicate materials like nubuck—brushing dry helps prevent pushing dirt deeper into the fabric.

Step 2: Clean the Uppers with the Essential Kit

Next, he grabs the Essential Shoe Cleaning Kit—our go-to solution for everyday sneaker care. Rob uses the Soft Bristle Brush and Reshoevn8r’s signature cleaning solution to gently scrub the nubuck upper. This combo lifts stains without damaging the nap or texture of the material.

 

After that first pass, he goes back over the tougher spots and the midsoles with the Medium Bristle Brush to break down deeper grime.

Step 3: Scrub the Outsoles

Once the uppers and midsoles are clean, Rob switches to the Stiff Bristle Brush to handle the outsoles. This brush is made for hard rubber and tough build-up, and it brings the bottom of the sneakers back to life.

 

Step 4: Spot-Treat with the Dry Suede Kit

Even after a full clean, some blemishes may linger. That’s where the Dry Suede Kit comes in. Rob uses the suede eraser and dry brush combo to carefully lift any leftover marks, especially in sensitive nubuck areas. It’s the safest way to spot-treat suede and suede-like materials.

Final Results: Seafoam 4s Fully Revived

With every surface cleaned and the material treated with care, Rob brings these Seafoam Jordan 4s back to their original glow. Whether your pair needs a light refresh or a deep clean, this method works for all suede and nubuck sneakers.
