[Discussion] How to care for leather sneakers?


Just saw this youtube video showing Nippon Made Onitsuka Tigers being washed as part of the production process. Won't this destroy leather/glue? If they can take a washing, would that mean one could wear sneakers with impunity in rainy weather? My thought was that leather sneakers would be better than canvas in the rain. In a torrential storm it wouldn't make a difference but with light rain it seems leather should work better.Also, do people resole sneakers, especially for higher end sneakers with really nice uppers, or are sneakers generally treated as disposables so that sneaker-care is kind of a moot point?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ld8JeyLFTY8 via /r/streetwear https://ift.tt/2Ma1Dfk
