The process for cleaning white Converse is similar to any color. Remove laces, brush off dirt, mix dish soap with water, scrub, rinse and dry.

Are Converse kicks good for basketball?

Converse shoes were invented expressly for basketball. In the past, this brand made its mark on the professional basketball world, especially when it appeared on the feet of rivals Magic Johnson and Larry Bird in their rookie years. However, the OG styles and their flat sole eventually gave way to more modern, innovative designs like the Converse Weapon CX with its foam collar, pillow-like cushioning and CX foam insole to aid in shock absorption.
