I RESTORED a $15,000 Nike Dunk and Here's What Happened!

[@pat30185]

The ashy look on the rubber soles is called blooming. It's oils in the rubber that come to the surface and oxidize turning white. Using a heat gun brings more of those oils to the surface and will cause the rubber to dry out and cause more damage in the long run than it helps. It's best to condition the rubber with a rubber rejuvenator.

Thank you for the advice, this is very informative!

I’m glad I was able to convince him to send them to you. They look great. Can’t wait to see how the other shoe sole swap goes. You killed it Vick he’s going to love getting them back

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Much appreciation🙌 We are glad to have been able to work on such a dope shoe!

[@huble123]

Getting hands on these are crazy

[@RESHOEVN8R]

We got lucky!

[@snailcage]

That’s interesting that the heat removes the ashiness of the rubber, do you think the heat causes it to absorb moisture or what do you think is happening there?

[@RESHOEVN8R]

We aren't too sure, it's possible! Maybe the heat evaporates the moisture as well.

[@facundour]

do a Jordan 1 pine green black restoration please dr Vick almighty!!

[@RESHOEVN8R]

I'll see what I can do! 🙏

Vick is truely the “Almighty”

[@EricGarciaJDM]

What bit do you use for the Dremel? I’m looking for that exact tip to do a reglue project of my own!

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Vick said he uses a 60 Grit Bit!

[@areksoo]

What gloves are you using with the acetone? Every glove I tried just falls apart.

[@RESHOEVN8R]

These are ThorGrip Heavy Duty Nitrile Gloves!

[@l1j1h]

I have a pair that I need restored ASAP!

[@l1j1h]

Needs new soles and some panels need to be restitched/glued

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Unfortunately we are not accepting any new projects at the moment, however I'm sure you'll be able to find someone on our IG!

[@nickp3173]

If these were a size 10.5 or 11, I restored these shoes years ago for a friend at work. He ended up selling to some collector in NY for 7k. The insoles were badly stained I remember but I got it almost perfect again. If the collector is from NYC, then these are them. Smart move not completely wetting the uppers. I was afraid to do that too. I just spot cleaned very carefully with foam as well. The inside was more important.

[@RESHOEVN8R]

That would be a crazy coincidence for sure! Small world!

[@nickp3173]

@@RESHOEVN8R If you can, ask Vick to see if it's sourced from NYC. My friend and I work in Brooklyn for NYC, I could find out the guys name he sold it too. I know the Sole broker was trying to get them. I had also listed them on discord in the sneaker knockerz group. Thanks. Awesome video!

[@Vickalmighty]

These are a size 7.5 🫡

[@nickp3173]

@@Vickalmighty Definitely not the one I did! Came out great. I was so scared restoring these lol.

[@michellerahe4853]

Man looking at these i would think they're only 200 😂 They dont look all that imo

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Fair enough, we all have different opinions! What do or don't you like about it?

[@davidenallo]

1.25 you showed a fake pair 😬

[@RESHOEVN8R]

What makes you say that?

[@davidenallo]

@ you can tell by the tongue and shape of the shoe

Great job Vick. Only minor complaint is that for SB factory lacing, for the second holes the laces go over in, not from under, then repeated up. Hard to describe but you know when you see it

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Thanks for the tip!

I think dunks are so UGLY 🤢🤮
