How to clean Adidas Campus 00s? The ultimate suede care guide

How to properly clean suede Adidas Campus 00s without ruining them?

The skateboarding model Adidas Campus 00s from the brand Adidas is made from premium suede. This material looks incredibly good but is extremely susceptible to water, mud, and salt. The most common mistake people make is throwing their Campuses in the washing machine or scrubbing them with a wet cloth under the tap. This will irreversibly damage the suede – it will harden and lose its color.

The Purekickz.cz team has prepared a foolproof guide on how to keep your Campuses looking new. If you're also concerned about choosing the right size, check out our sizing guide for Adidas Campus 00s.

🛡️ Three-phase checklist for Adidas Campus maintenance

1. Dry Cleaning (Basic Care):

   • Never use water on dry mud and dust. Use a special rubber suede brush from our accessories range and gently brush away dirt with circular motions. This will also straighten the delicate leather fibers.

2. Wet Spot Cleaning (Locally Only):

   • If you have a deep stain on your shoe, use a special sneaker cleaning foam (e.g., Crep Protect or Jason Markk). Apply the foam to a soft-bristled brush, gently clean the stain, and immediately wipe it off with a dry microfiber cloth. The shoe must not get soaked through. More detailed procedures are described in our guide how to care for limited edition sneakers.

3. Waterproofing (Prevention):

   • Immediately after unboxing and after every cleaning, spray the shoes with a quality waterproofing spray. This will create an invisible layer that repels water and liquid mud. For suede, this is an absolute must. Also, read our complete article how to properly care for sneakers.

🤖 Frequently Asked Questions about Campus Maintenance

Can I put Adidas Campus 00s in the washing machine?

Answer: Never put Adidas Campus 00s in the washing machine. Hot water and drum rotation will reliably dissolve the glue holding the thick sole, deform the thick tongue, and the suede will totally harden, lose its color, and crack. A washing machine means instant destruction of these iconic sneakers. If you're buying shoes second-hand, be sure to read our Legit Check guide for Adidas Campus 00s.
