DON'T Use ACETONE on YOUR Air Jordan 4 Bred Reimagined!!

In this video, I dive into a risky experiment with my $230 Bred 4s, aiming to transform them into OG Bred 4's! 🚫👟 Using acetone, alcohol, and some elbow grease, I detail every step of this thrilling journey. From taping and sanding to dyeing and conditioning, I share how I reimagined these iconic sneakers. This episode of #retrospectivedave is not just about taking risks; it's about the passion for sneakers and the lengths we go to for that perfect custom look.
Whether you're a sneakerhead or just curious about customizing, you'll find valuable tips and maybe even the inspiration to try your own sneaker project. I answer your burning questions, like how long the process takes, dealing with color changes, and ensuring your newly dyed sneakers are wearable without ruining your socks!

These came out amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thanks, man! Means a lot coming from someone who actually does restoration 👊🏽😎

That is clean big ups for havings the balls to have a go at this❤

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Thanks, man! It was definitely fun working on it 😎

[@92coupelx]

Bro, you killed it! I don't like tumbled leather either, this looks so much better

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Thanks, man! I was hoping the difference would be apparent on camera because you can definitely see the difference in person. Thanks again 👊🏽😎

[@chrismontgomery4148]

It looks the same, but without the tumbleness 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️ it could just be me

[@retrospectivedave9018]

You're correct.....The tumbled effect was heavily decreased, so it has more of a natural looking texture.

[@kenmasters916]

I couldn't do mine like that., But this was awesome, great work !

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Thanks, man! I enjoyed the process and experience 👊🏽😎

[@user-of6nn9fl7k]

BRO THEY CAME OUT SICK!! I WOULD LOVE TO DO MY PAIR THE SAME

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Thanks, bro! It's pretty simple to do. Just take your time with it! If you end up doing it, send me a pic of the results on IG 👊🏽😎

[@user-of6nn9fl7k]

@retrospectivedave9018 will do my brother, and thank you for the advice!

[@davidnieves6158]

They look good, thanks for the switch on the 12s N gave me the 13s 👍🏽

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Absolutely, my guy! Your pair is featured in my legit check video. Enjoy your kicks, bro 🤝🏾

[@DYM__]

Just copped them today and def keeping them exclusive

[@retrospectivedave9018]

🔥🔥🔥

[@mauriciowinston5293]

So in other words, just leave em be.

[@retrospectivedave9018]

I would strongly advise you to leave them be

[@brandonhuffman213]

Lmao, when the video ended that's pretty much the first thing I said go myself

[@brandonhuffman213]

I like my pair as is. I think they look sweet, the swap to the leather was enough for me.

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Nothing wrong with that 🔥🔥🔥

[@carl_k]

First off great video 👍🏾 How long should I wait after I applied the alcohol, before sanding the leather ? 🙏🏾

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Thanks, Carl! I waited maybe 10-20 minutes. Once the shoe starts to look washed out to you, then that's when you can start sanding.

[@DL-fc2xt]

Better than original, i for sure thought you were gonna botch them, nice work.

[@retrospectivedave9018]

I'm not going to lie, I thought it was over with!!! But, I'm happy with how they turned out. I appreciate the feedback 👊🏽😎

[@rz3084]

That's Cool Bro, nice job, as for me I wouldn't wanna try to attempt to do something like that to mine I'll probably mess them up I'll just leave it as is, cool vid😎

[@retrospectivedave9018]

I appreciate you, bro! It was a bit nerve wrecking at 1st, but it was a cool experience nonetheless. Thanks again 👊🏽😎

[@StackinKickz392]

Definitely different

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Subtle difference for sure!

[@NoLoveInTokyo]

Your video editing is dope, do you edit them yourself?

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Thank you! I do all of the editing. It's my favorite part of the process 👊🏽😎

[@NoLoveInTokyo]

@@retrospectivedave9018 dope, what editing software do you use? Im learning

[@retrospectivedave9018]

NICE!! Welcome to the world of editing! I use Premiere Pro...It's subscription based Davinci is a great one too....Not subscription based (at least it wasn't when I 1st started).

[@jadiusihujmyfatherleft535]

Yo my bad for asking this question on this video but i just wanna make sure, on my pair of bred reimagined, on the back of the insole being the white part which has the trade mark and MS and the size, my left pair has MS 105 G and the other has MS 105 P, is that normal or nah? i never had a pair of 4s so i can’t really tell i only got Jordans with the insole glued like a pair of 13s

[@retrospectivedave9018]

No worries, man. It's common for some pairs to have mismatched information on the soles. I've seen it on other sneakers besides these.

[@jadiusihujmyfatherleft535]

@@retrospectivedave9018one line is hardly visible on the other, and then one line isnt visible idk whats it called its usually where the sizing is backwards on the footbed, thats normal too?

[@zaybeezy1455]

The guy had the world going krazy saying he put acetone on it but really they was just reps

[@ORXSHA843]

id buy two pairs of the breds and motor sport alternates and make a washed version of both pairs.

[@retrospectivedave9018]

🔥🔥🔥 I hope we get a retro of the MS Alternate

[@ericyoung442]

Cool guy 🎩

[@retrospectivedave9018]

👊🏽😎

[@Joose]

Hard disagree on the tumble making shoes look cheap; I feel the opposite way, but to each their own. Either way, this was a nice job.

[@retrospectivedave9018]

I should've specified in the video, but tumbled leather doesn't always make a shoe look cheap. I think when it's overly done, that's when I'm not a fan. Appreciate the feedback, Joose 👊🏽😎

[@wentworthharris3120]

It looks great though but I wouldn’t do my pair like that.

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Thanks, man! It's definitely a preference for sure 👊🏽😎

[@DougieFresh13]

Can you restore a dead pair?

[@retrospectivedave9018]

It's not my area of expertise

[@NYbornGAmade]

Dave whats good brother this is going to be a good year fam ❤ hope you get to 20k this year 🙏

[@itsjinyo]

Now thats what i call, reimagined 🫡

[@Jayballinallday]

I want them😊

Bred 4 is my favorite 4! Definitely a dope shoe!

[@brettsaucedo]

Didn't ruin them for sure!

[@retrospectivedave9018]

I appreciate it, Brett! I definitely went into it not knowing what the outcome would be, though 😅 Thanks again 👊🏽😎

[@youtubeattacker]

Might as well just paint a layer of angelus matte coating on

[@retrospectivedave9018]

I have other pairs I can experiment with, so I'll try it and see how it turns out.

[@andrejohnson6005]

Can I use 70% ridding alcohol????

[@retrospectivedave9018]

You can use 70% alcohol. It might dissolve a little slower than the 91%, but you can use either one.

[@airtec87]

it looks like the same just without the tumble texture.....

[@PicoIsOcip]

Can I buy this off you if it’s a size 9-9.5?

[@retrospectivedave9018]

The shoe in the video is a size 12 👊🏽😎

I give props on being different, I’ll pass though. The difference can make the shoe look somewhat fake. I like looking fresh not questionably fake.

Bad enough my box came broken but to take off the shinyness n then see how it looks like it also removed the tumble leather look lol ill pass. They do look 🔥🔥🔥 tho i wont lie

It was more curiosity for me, plus I don't like tumbled leather. Anyway, I enjoyed the process. I still have a pair that's untampered with.

The video was very well put together and entertaining. But why?

[@retrospectivedave9018]

Thanks, Wayne! So, when the original post was made, people were under the impression that they could just apply acetone to the sneakers to give that effect. The purpose of the video was to show people that's not the case.

[@DeathA19]

i think u just removed the plastic coating which gives the tumbled look, u didnt reach the leather

[@retrospectivedave9018]

The tumbled look is still there, just not as visible. I have another pair I can experiment with, so I'll sand deeper to see what I come up with.

[@GGtheRealest]

honestly man, this doesn't look good. the customized pair looks cheap like a pair of Dunks, you know the material on those lol in some areas it looks real clean but the creasing will be horrible in the customized pair since there wont be any leather grain to mix with the creasing

Some people love it....Some people hate it.. I can't control it one way or the other. I just know I had fun making the video 👊🏽😎

Because it's an option

Nah, I didn't. I wanted to allow the tongue to dry completely before removing the tape.
