The process of removing adhesive tape stains from Onitsuka Tiger shoes depends on the type of tape that was used. If the tape used was painters' tape, which is typically blue or green, then a damp cloth can be used to gently remove the residue. For stronger tape residues, such as duct tape, a mixture of warm water and mild detergent can be used to loosen the residue. After a few minutes of soaking, all that is left to do is gently scrub the area with a soft-bristled brush.
It is much easier to prevent adhesive tape stains on Onitsuka Tiger shoes than it is to remove them, so take extra care when taping near your shoes. Whenever possible, use tape that is designed to be easily removed without leaving a residue. Painter's tape is a great option, as it usually can be removed without leaving any residue behind. Once the project is finished, be sure to check your shoes for any residue and clean it off immediately to prevent it from staining material.
