If you get a new pair of kicks, you want to keep them as pristine as possible for as long as possible. This isn’t always easy to do, which might be why we’ve seen people go to incredible lengths to maintain the tip-top condition of their sneakers.

This guy, however, may take the cake for his shoe-preservation method. To do this yourself, all you’re going to need is some folding chairs, rope, a lot of gumption and a complete lack of common sense.

Best of luck!
