How to Make Black Air Force 1's Clean

Kallie Johnson

Air Force 1s, also referred to as AF1s, are a line of shoes manufactured by Nike. The leather athletic shoes come in a variety of colors and designs for both men and women, including black, brown and white. The shoes should be cleaned as needed to remove dirt, dust and water spots.

  1. Spray the exterior of the Nike Air Force 1s with an athletic shoe cleaning product. Do not use a product containing bleach as this will discolor black shoes.

  2. Rub the cleaner into the shoe using a shoe cleaning brush or a toothbrush. Many athletic shoe cleaning products are sold with a brush or have a brush as the product cap. Vigorously scrub the cleaner into the shoes.

  3. Dampen a soft cloth in cool water. Squeeze to remove excess water. Wipe down the shoes to remove soap residue.

  4. Dry the shoes with a towel or allow them to air dry.
