Original Shoe Shine ASMR w/ Jason Dornstar

Jason Dornstar got his start shining shoes serendipitously one morning at the Denver International Airport while acting like he was an employee at one of the Executive Shine Stands. After this exhilarating experience and earning a quick 40 dollars, Jason went on to be an Art curator for a local brewery in Denver in his free time. A few years later, Jason was offered a full time position Shining Shoes at Nordstrom in South Denver Colorado. He was searching for references to learn from in the shoe shine community and found Mike Wilson on KZbin. Mike Wilson was shining shoes with such a classic and authentic approach to the art of the shine. While watching Mike Wilson pop his rags while Mike listened to jazzy funky beats in his office, Jason was inspired to make a shoe shine video of his own. After Jason created a few videos he soon ended up catching the attention of The O.G. Mike Wilson himself. The small but often cheeky rivalry was then born. Jason still considers Mike Wilson as the originator of shoe shine videos on KZbin and contributes most of his success to the inspiration he recieved from Mike Wilson.
After honing in on his skills as a professional shoe shiner, he was encouraged by his loyal following of subscribers on KZbin to continue creating these videos. A couple of years later, after traveling to Hong Kong to teach the Art of Shoe Shine to future business owners, he made a name for himself in the Global Shoe Shine Community by trailblazing his way top the top on social media. Jason continues to teach and inspire many new faces in the Shoe Shine Community while serenading the ASMR Community with the subtle sounds of the Shine.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
His vision is to make the world shine a little brighter while inspiring a few souls along the way.

[@Tritero]

Damn, shoes are brighter than my future

[@ramanachandrasekar9531]

I love your hard work. Though you are doing it for video

[@ChilleDxFighteR]

Would you make a shining 101 video and go over cleaning and protection for work boots ?

[@samse7en11]

Saddle Soap! Bring back the spraying on the soap ❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@willeichenberger6615]

Does anyone know the brand of shoes being cleaned here?

[@alvarosilvestre9344]

Did you made any video showing all the staff you use? I really wanna know!

[@chocochan3167]

Just in time, I'm ready to sleep 🤗

[@timw2498]

It's an excellent shine of double monks.

[@JuanHernandez-ek8zh]

What days are you at Nordstrom? Visiting Denver end of December will like to get my Paul Evans shoeshine during my visit

[@jpach3128]

I want to clean and shine my Oxblood Iron Rangers and I am afraid I'm going to turn the white stitching pink. Any tips?

[@dunken101]

Awesome video and great workmanship! Could you do like a before/after image at the end of the video?

[@melberber79]

That's a great suggestion

[@MrLanTiger]

[@tranminhhieu9492]

Nice editing bro

[@MuhannadOmran1]

4:57 I love this part

[@nicholassolo7185]

Monks 🤘🏾

[@FouriousBear]

The most beautiful shoes on YT for real like.. Magnanni but what is the exactly name of this shoes please?

[@FouriousBear]

LOL Lietor | Midbrown €320.00

[@grifftex8018]

another amazing video my friend. What is the product you use with the brush around the trim.

[@JasonDornstar]

I used the *light brown leather dye from Angelus* Thank you for your support!

[@rajatpoonacha4301]

👌👌👌👌

[@OutlawTorn33]

If someone complains about the sheen on a finished shoe, do you just brush it off?

[@XSAoRAD]

Curious about this too, but the sheen thing probably comes down to Jason's style. He's actually polishing the shoe, versus making it artificially slick with products.

[@yodaawilson]

What kind of shoes are those? Pretty

[@purpleangelwings6579]

This is an art ....

[@counseloralex9980]

King of the hill polish, yep, yep, hum that’s a Shine right there I’ll tell you what.

[@michaelsharkey9868]

I use the guys at grand central

[@YourTypicalGeek]

Where does he work?

[@garrettgerard4939]

Sorry really new to this, but where do you get your polishing rags???

[@JasonDornstar]

From *The Rag Company* of course. The Terry cloth towels are good for cleaning the shoes and the Edgeless 365's are nice for buffing the polish. 😁 I hope that helps.

[@dastansito]

How is it called the thing that you used at 4:20

[@briangranquist9841]

I’m sure you’ve answered this umpteen times...but how do you get the polish off of your hands-now that your not wearing gloves to apply it ??? And damn-those were some fineazz shoes !! You done that guy real proud !!! (That’s my Texas accent-& I’m not FROM Texas !!)

[@JasonDornstar]

I just use soap. But that *orange* brand mechanics hand cleaner with pumice works really well to get some of the tougher stains out. But the leather dye stains my hands for at least a day or two. Mike Wilson doesn't want me to wear gloves though, so I have to honor his requests. I'm still waiting on my blue apron and Mike Wilson spit supply. 😂

[@typsom]

what shoes are you wearing here? I really like them a lot!

[@JasonDornstar]

Hey Fredde! I was wearing the *TRASK Rylan* sneaker. It's super comfortable!

[@typsom]

I'm definitely getting a pair. the weaving reminds me of Bottega Veneta's signature leather weaving

[@djbryce]

If you don't mind me asking, what's the going rate for a shine? I've never had it done and always wondered..

[@samse7en11]

Bryce Wilson he’s crazy cheap! Like two and a half bucks!

[@yodaawilson]

Fortune and Glory

[@Joe-pk1kb]

I won’t be able to sleep until I know what was edited out

[@elmojonathanazores3888]

What shoes are you wearing here Jason?

[@austinchandler3079]

8:30 Yes?

[@badkarmah7245]

Sir siiirrr 😂

[@fujow111]

Hey Jason are those Eccos you wearing?

[@charlibabe]

Do you have a daily target you are set to shine ? Or is the counter/clicker for your knowledge only? X

[@thesandman4438]

You mentioned a shoe shine out here in Las Vegas I should check out. Where was he at?

[@JasonDornstar]

George at The Fashion Show Nordstrom. He's really good!

[@thesandman4438]

@@JasonDornstar Thanx Jason, I'll let him know you sent us his way.

[@tyrekknowles8249]

Yo Jason should be the next hank hill

[@lanterninthedark8926]

Damn it. Every time I read the title quickly to his new uploads I keep thinking it says Pornstar. LOL 😂 Altho if he gets more fancy women asking him to fancy up their shoes, he might eventually become one. 😆 Awesome video as expected sir! You are the Shine Boss.

[@jessem623]

Wait Whaaaaaa when did you stop wearing gloves that's your thing

[@islandintheskyasmr9657]

Do you speak Spanish? P.D. You're awesome Jason! 😁✌️

Maîtrise absolue, comme d'habitude.

[@andrewagaloos6971]

“But not as much as I like turtles” 😂💀

[@kittymervine6115]

love it, though the one song, it sounded like some woman was screaming at various moments. I was "hey shut up song, I want to hear the shining magic!"

[@aveuch]

Double monk straps!!!

[@gusfalk]

actually never liked them

[@graphixkillzzz]

you know what would be fucking awesome? if he gave you earphones so you can hear it how we do, but also getting the shoe shine at the same time 😲😳😵😴😪

[@leecartwright490]

Is the counter on your waist to count how many shoes you shine in a day ? If so what your record ?

[@JasonDornstar]

Yes, it's my attempt to keep track of my numbers. One day when I worked 14 hours, I accounted about 53 pairs. 😓

[@MattNoffy]

Love the videos, I prefer the first person pov, but then you have to deal with the person holding the camera. I'm sure the side view makes for easier editing. Maybe get a stand that fits between their legs so they don't have to hold it.

[@charlibabe]

He's allowed out of the dungeon once a week x

[@fujow111]

Where is the dornstar, need videos :)

[@daredevil22]

How much does a shine run?

[@JasonDornstar]

$2.50

[@C-Fav]

Could you put a list of the products you use in the description?

[@MBisFrenchy]

C-Fav Agreed he should.

[@alexsantiago357]

6:42 he speaks Chinese?

[@KarlosEPM]

It's spanish.

[@rayiron]

So u earn money to shine shoes, boots?
