They are restoring things made by 10 year old slaves, even today they live at the factory working 12 hour shifts, back in 88 before china's great leap forward it was literal slavery. Yet these dudes are SJW warriors who say how bad slavery was and yet use electronics, apps and products from a slave nation.

Ive done some lightweight restos, but this is freakin impressive as hell! I wish i could elevate my talent level to theirs. The art and craftsmanship that goes into leather and shoe work is so much fun and i feel is under valued by society in general. Plz do more restoration vids guys. Helps me improve mine...ty brothers

[@donhos1698]

I'm not a shoe guy at all, I was a skater in my youth so typical skateboard board shoes which I had to make them last as long as possible. Never saw the beauty in and the hard work that goes into a shoe like that. But now I keep a look out for old nikes cause I didn't realise the value behind it either. I can sit and watch shese guys for hours. The pride, joy, experience and knowledge is unbelievable. You can see how much love and passion they have in what they do. Seeing them dismantle a shoe and getting to that point of were they just keep that momentum. I wonder how many good/expensive shoes one had to go through to get to that point? Keep it up. Show the word what people out there do that some never actually put any thought into the process of the beauty in the art work. With out the Internet one would never really see the depth of this art. High five ✋

[@RaymonsRandom]

These are my holy grails, I have all the years except CDP & 1988. Great job guys. I have a DS 2001 pair if you guys want another go at a pair! Great video. I enjoyed and learned the amount of work you guys put into this project.
