Restoring TRASHED Air Jordan 1's Lost and Found

The most trashed pair of Lost and Founds we have ever seen! The owner of these kicks wore them to the ground and tried to restore them himself, but ultimately it ended in a botched restoration! This led him to send his favorite kicks into the one and only Vick Almighty to save the day. In today's Customs and Restorations Vick will walk you through how to restore these trashed Lost and Found Air Jordan 1's!
When starting a restoration you have to have a clean base! The first step of the restoration was to properly deep clean it using the RESHOEVN8R Signature Shoe Cleaning Kit. This allowed us to remove all of the dirt, grime, odor and it also allowed us to reshape the sneaker. For the cleaning process Vick used the Soft Bristle Brush to fully break down the dirt from the leather material, but he was a little worried about the sneaker bleeding! The Lost and Found Jordan 1 has a history of bleeding from the red, so BE careful when cleaning these kicks!
After the uppers were all taken care of it was time to move onto the next part of the shoe cleaning and move onto the midsole and outsole. However, here is where Vick noticed the first issue from this botched resto. The white paint from the previous repaint had completely come off and went all over the sneaker... With that being said we just have to hope for the best!
The last step of the cleaning process was to use the washing machine to remove the rest of the dirt. The sneaker did bleed into the stitching unfortunately, but it was necessary to clean this shoe properly. Now if you or someone you know has a pair of Lost and Found Jordan 1s we do not recommend the washing machine due to that color bleed potential!
With the cleaning out of the way it was time to move onto the restoration. First Vick removed that dyed stitching and had to remove the rest of the caked on paint from the previous restoration. One tip Vick used in this video that you might not know is that UV rays can help remove oxidation on white sneakers and materials even without a unyellowing agent!
Now we move onto the repaint... As always the first step of the repaint is the prepwork. This is the most tedious, but important part of the job. For this we used sand paper and acetone to fully prep the uppers for a fresh new coat of paint. Once the prep was completed it was time to replace the stitch on the soles. Before we repainted the sneaker Vick chose to focus on a couple different details of the sneaker. Such as, replacing the insoles using an extra pair from the sneaker graveyard and removing creasing using the iron method!
The repaint was going to be the most important part of this project and the key to making this sneaker look like it was fresh out the box. All 3 colors needed to be repainted, so it was very important that Vick took his time and allowed each color to dry before moving onto the next color. Overall the paint job took a lot of time, but it transformed these kicks!
After just a couple of days these were ready to go back on feet! Drop a comment and let us know what pair in your collection you NEED restored!

Bravo young sir for actually wearing your shoes.

[@eric1234912]

These came out a little over a year ago how the hell do you beat them this bad already 😂 even shit I wear a lot takes a few years before they are this cooked

[@ninja-jj8el]

It's called enjoying yr shoes

[@burfside]

@@ninja-jj8elthere’s a difference between enjoying and destroying your shoe

[@yankeesfn2]

He beat them up pretty good, but hey wear your kicks I guess!

[@burfside]

@@yankeesfn2 no shit but I have shoes I’ve worn for over 10 years that still look brand new cause at least I know how to clean my shoes😂I have 1985 bred 1s that are cleaner than his that I’ve owned from 2012. Wearing shoes and destroying shoes are two different things

[@phileickmeyer2493]

My fave is the bred 4 reimagined. Took a nubuck shoe and made it all weather! Snow, rain, whatever. Its ready for everything!

[@RESHOEVN8R]

people are loving them!

[@phileickmeyer2493]

@@RESHOEVN8R i have most of the reimagined series kicks but the bred 4 reimagined just looks sick with the leather upper! Then after that its a tossup of lost and found or the white cement 3s.

The Bred Jordan 4 Re-imagined are by far the best ones of the re-imagined. By definition of the word, I think the executed the best here.

[@six0two824]

I like the 3s too but not a fam of the aged look myself but they look clean

[@cactusjack2264]

Bro wore these outside, inside, to bed, in the shower, to work, to school, to hoop in, in the rain, in the snow, in the summer. I think it’s safe to say, he love his L&F 1s 🤦‍♂️😂🤣😂

[@vicious274]

My favourite re-imagined is a toss up between the Bred 4's and the lost and founds. I may have to go with the Bred 4's considering they don't bleed and you can basically wear them all year round. This restoration however was amazing! When I saw the condition these were in I was not expecting the end result. Vic is truly and genius!

[@RESHOEVN8R]

We appreciate you!

[@TheParadox116]

Ohh yeah these cooked!!! Dope restoration 👌🏿 Jordan 1s Breds are my favorites

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Thank you!!

[@emilianolopez9093]

My favorite reimagined sneaker is the royal Jordan 1s because it is a unique shoe and it does not have leather like the other reimagined sneakers and it is very cheap and affordable❤

[@rick223g6]

Always amazing Vick 😎 keep up the good work

Nothing beats a worn pair of Jordan 1s. Theres just something about them.

[@prettyboyrob]

Are Air Max 90s Big Bubble considered Reimagined? lol

[@intrnsition24]

My ❓ is, what would be more economically savvy? Going through your cleaning service to restore the sneakers or buying a new pair, even at resale value?

[@koichnomoto3013]

Vic Almighty knows best amazing work. 🔥 Lost and Found 1s and re-imagined 3s my fav.

[@phileickmeyer2493]

I wear my kicks but i have never beat up my kicks this bad! Hey this dude mustve loved these though because he sent them to the best place and the best person to restore them!

i like the royal reimagined Jordan 1's they are just a pain to clean up if you rock them in any weather.

[@CarsByThijs]

Your so right. I stopped cleaning them cuz my suede is getting worse if I clean em

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Suede is a very hard material to clean, but if you protect them with Water + Stain Repellent prior it will help

[@Sneaky_freek]

Need to do another episode of you cleaning your laptop screen 😉...oh, and the best reimagined so far is the white cement 3s...not even close

[@kobe.k14]

My fav reimagined is the white cement 3s cause the colour of it just gives a vintage look on it which looks amazing. I really hope I win the giveaway cause i have learnt so much from watching ur videos. Thank you vick for teaching me.

[@MatthewGonzalez-yz8ji]

Hey guys love the video and I gotta similar problem. What ratio of flat white to cream do you mix for painting toe box. Please let me know, thank you.

I have a pair of Origin Story 1’s in my collection that I’m afraid to touch. One of the shoes has a scratch on the heel panel and it makes me cry cause I can unsee it 😭. I wouldn’t mind shipping them to you Vick! 🙏

[@marveloussonic2027]

dang Vic, about a year too late for these for me :( I got my lost & Founds way back in January of 2023 and these kind of had a similar situation but maybe I can try this with my own Reshoevn8r kit!

The lost and founds were just not good like my 2015. My 2015 still hasn’t even yellowed yet. The lost and founds aren’t nice had to sell my lost and founds. Hate the crack leather especially on the black cause it just makes the shoe look ashy from afar. Also hate they made the lost and founds shorter than my 2015 Chicagos. Also I don’t like how the red on the lost and founds bleed when cleaning but my 2015 red doesn’t bleed.
