Restoring $5,000 1985 Air Jordan 1s to Wearable Condition

[@Ryan-op4ii]

These were my shoes. The fellow that got them from me said he would send them off and then send me the link when restored. Pretty cool stuff! Great job ! Ryan

[@Thesuperdupermadvillain]

Vick getting old is making me sad man. Thank you vick for showing me how to keep my kicks always looking brand new! You deserve your flowers!! 🙌

[@elmo575]

The production quality here is next level, huge props to Vic for taking on a monster project like this and s/o Alex for helping along the way.

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Vick grew up on the channel that's for sure!

[@Vickalmighty]

You’re the man for watching that long! 🫶🏽 I definitely gotten old lol

[@crazywall256]

Same here brotha. Been in the game since I was 10 when I got gift a pair of 2012 breds from my brother. Now I’m 21 watching the sneaker “restoration” over the last 11 years so much has changed. Especially on the whole resale side

[@abstrrakt]

It’s not grey hair, we can just do a repaint?? 😅

[@CarsByThijs]

Vicks hair ain’t that bad compared to my maths teacher 😅

[@aceeistheplacee]

who else but Vick to save this amazing shoe. Great job guys, this restoration is insane!

[@RESHOEVN8R]

They both killed it!

[@orincoon5585]

The black toe 1's are my all time favorite Jordans. I still have my original pair of 1985 Chicago's but missed out on the black toes. You both did a kick azz job restoring those grails. 👍

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Thank you, it was a crazy restoration!

[@imaugiie117]

You and kickz is the best in the business I can’t wait to send my shoes to him. 🔥 also like how it was a real project and not just you guys dirtying the shoe 👌🏿

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Much love, thank you for the support 🙌

[@BadProblicity09]

WHAT THE FLUFF! you guys killed this restoration. what an iconic shoe. great work

[@RESHOEVN8R]

You two hit the mark no pun intended with that fist bump y’all killTit ❤️‍🔥 🤜🏼x🤛🏼

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Much appreciated! Glad you enjoyed this video.

[@TheSlowoldman]

Never in this old mans life would I have ever thought someone would restore (really remake) an old pair of sneakers that I actually owned (not this pair of course). I had a back toe pair of Jordan 1's....... wore them until they looked about like these and then just tossed them in the garbage. As I'm sure all of the other guys did that are my age. Funny thing, by the time I bought my Jordans my mom understood sneaker prices..... I was out of the house by then but I do remember my mom coming undone with what I paid for a pair of Adidas Top Ten's.

[@misplaceed795]

wow super impressed with the knowledge and skill to save a shoe like this. y'all really brought these back to life!!

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Thank you for your kind words and support!

[@vietnhattran1022]

What is the white color did you use? White or flat white or mixing white? Help

[@Brandon-sc3rz]

if i wanted something like this done which option on your website would i pick? the white glove one? my shoes that i want these done for came out a bit later. like early 2000s but the soles would crumble if i wore them

[@darklengend44]

I’m always confused on the barge cement because everyone always uses something different. Was curious what you think is the best Vick have you tried them all?

[@mattwhitaker1240]

What adhesion promoter was used before the glue on the soles?

[@Chale_Holmes]

Did you guys use any leather conditioner or mink oil to bring the leather back to life a little?

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Yes

Nice work

What was the mix of paints to make the red? So hard to find info online for the red on 1985s

[@RESHOEVN8R]

We would have to ask Vick for an exact mix, but a lot of paint is just trial and error

[@getmoneyfamilygta5ps462]

@reshoevn8r do you repair 17 & 18s?

I'm curious, would they still be water resistant?

[@rngrover23]

Amazing work as usual…it sucks that the retro version of these will be nowhere near the level of quality that you guys just put into this shoe

[@RESHOEVN8R]

We agree which is more of the reason why this old classics need to be restored! Thanks for watching!

i Have some original Converse 85 Weap0n5. Black and Red, I've looked for years and never seen another pair. Apparently they're insanely rare. I wore them out all the way through. Maybe y'all can give them new life.

Maybe we Can🤷‍♂️
