How do you clean basketball shoes without losing grip?

Mix warm water with just a drop of laundry detergent (or, if leather, a specialty leather cleaner). Apply a small amount to a sponge or soft cloth to clean dirty areas of the shoe. Remove your insole and clean using a water/detergent mix. Rinse excess soap off of the shoe and insole using just water on a second sponge.

How can I make my shoes have more grip?

Adding a grainy texture to the bottom of your shoes will help improve traction and grip. For a quick solution, apply a salt and rubber glue mixture to the bottom of shoes. Once that’s done, simply let them dry for a few minutes, and you’re good to go.
