i'm curious, but every black person i've seen with white sneakers on. How come they look as they're brand spanking new, they're so white just like the day you bought em. Is their a secret to this? I'm not being racist here, but i only notice this on black people. I've never seen shoes kept that clean in my life, white shoes that is. so if anyone knows the secret please let me know!

They take aborted fetuses from white woman, grind them up, throw in a little crack, and make a polish out of it. It works wonders. All black people do it. ALL of them.

maybe their shows just look really white, because the rest of their skin is black.
or maybe they want their shows to look really white, because they think that looks cool?

There are some black people ... especially those who are into hip-hop fashion ... who consider sneakers to be an significant part of their appearance. Consequently, they clean their sneakers on a regular basis. Windex, 409 cleaner, or whatever. The objective is to keep the sneakers looking new. And considering how much they can cost these days I can understand why. It's no different than how a guy who wears a suit and tie everyday will shine his dress shoes to keep his shoes and overall appearance looking nice.

Did you ever think of asking? "Dude, how do you keep your sneaks so clean?" would probably do it. I wouldn't mention that it's only something you notice with black people, because that's gonna get taken the wrong way, no matter how non-offensive you think you are being. MIght just as well say "How do you people keep your sneakers so clean? You negroes simply amaze me!"
For what ever it's worth, I use Mr. Clean's magic eraser on mine and then give them a rub with saddle soap to condition the leather. Gets them nice and white like new. Granted, I don't do this often, because I don't care all that much.

Perhaps a better title for the thread would be "how do black people keep their sneakers SO DAMN CLEAN??"

A friend in High School (ie Back in the Dayâ„¢) explained that he not only was hyperaware of the state of their whiteness at all times, but creases were also a huge concern, so he wore three pairs of socks to keep the leather nice and taut. Even in the summer.
This was common practice.

Of course I'm kidding. Honestly though we don't have a high black population in Winnipeg. Though I did notice that all the black people I know had really bright runners. That said all of them were like yuppy black kids who easily had the cash to have several really nice pairs.

Well, not real white women, if you know what I mean.
It's more like the wannabes who are all into the whole abortion thang!

I can't joke about abortions... the idea of making humour out of the idea of doing things like jabbing a scalpel into the back of a half born child's skull to kill it right before you would hear it's first cries... kinda sickens me.

Maybe say 'kicks' instead of 'sneaks.'
At one of the shoe stores in our local mall, they sell this foaming cleaner. Spray on, wipe off, they look brand new. $5 for a aerosol bottle, not bad.

I have around six or seven pairs of white sneakers and all of them but on are really clean. How did I do it? i cleaned them. It's not too difficult if you get into a routine to clean your shoes a few times a week. It almost becomes second nature.

Just thought this post should be quoted again. For twisted giggling purposes.

Eh it goes overboard when they get new shoes JUST because there is a scuff in em and they no longer look "cool"
It's mostly superficial.

I worked with a guy who ran 3 pairs of shoes on a daily basis. He'd come in wearing slippers "house shoes," put on his work boots (dirty as hell), and at the end of the day he'd change his socks and put on his whites. He had wooden shoe-stretchers (like when shoes are on display at the store) to keep them uncreased.
He also stated that he perfected his 'pimp strut' so that there was minimal ankle movement - minimizing the creasing. And, when we asked about the whites being so white, he'd say "because I take my shoes off before I run from the po-lice."

I never run from the po-lice. I just stand there until they get close enough to see that I'm white. Then they put away their batons, apologize profusely, and offer to buy me lunch.

GENERALLY SPEAKING (THAT MAKES IT LESS RACIST, RIGHT?)
i also think that white people own less pairs of shoes than black people.
white dudes own one maybe 2 pairs of sneakers, and wear them with everything. black people own shoes that go with certain outfits, so they have more pairs, so they wear them more often, so they get less drrrty.

I think it's also more important to them. How their shoes look. It's a status symbol.

i saw a black person walking down the street and i was like "omg a negro" but instead of walking on the other side i said "what would rumsfeld do?" so i stayed on the sidewalk. when he came up to me i wanted to show him that i have no problems with people of color so i said "hey" and offered him my spare change before he could even ask. he was so happy that he told me to keep it. there was nothing to worry about after all! so i asked him if he wanted to play jazz at my birthday party, but he said he didnt play jazz. i think he was being shy lol!
