Restoring a 1985 Air Jordan UNC (36 Year Old Sneakers) | ep1: Prep, Clean, Decrease

[@CallMeEsteban]

I think I need some shoe trees, you are the best!

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Get these imo: amzn.to/3szWfTp

[@vaughnworrell]

My favorite colorway 🔥🔥🔥

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Honestly, it's in my top 3 for sure. The best thing about the OG's is they've all aged different so the color can vary. I love it.

[@chriseast7376]

I love the dedication

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Appreciate that- anything worth doing is worth doing right!

[@sau_lii]

Your videos make my day! Great work

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Glad to hear that!

[@kaleb9829]

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Appreciate that! Ep 2 drops Thursday AM.

[@brunort1112]

Love the restoration vids, getting my first pair of Chicago 85s and I’m exited to restore them :)

[@VintageKicksGallery]

That's awesome! Are you planning on wearing them afterwards?

[@Hooah-x]

That’s crazy. Why would you restore a shoe that is OG original keyword original…..

[@davidruizlopez3989]

Hello, just a question, which is the liquid that you use for creese...? Thanks

[@adamani08]

nice work

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Thanks!

[@AllOutNoobHater]

Can't you use an ironer over the toe box with a wet rag to get the creases out of the toebox?

[@prestontylerjarvis]

Oh damn I was so ready to see them painted! Guess I’ll have to wait for the next part haha

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Color matching the aged UNC Blue was a bit tough but I got it taken care of. Episode will drop tomorrow morning (Thursday) so long as my copyright claim is released.

[@fridaystarsign]

why was the beat when he pulled out the rotary brush so damn hard

[@kriskrawiec5513]

can't wait for the next part!

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Should be Thursday

[@mersyndol85370]

just the fix on the creases alone.... looking forward to future videos for sure

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Honestly, I wasn't very confident they would come out but you should see the final result with a new finish. Well beyond my expectations!

[@johanalvarado4870]

Can you make a video about cleaning suede jordans? Please

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Yeah, I can do that. I'll do a video on suede/nubuck/durabuck cleaning and maintenance soon.

[@johanalvarado4870]

Thanks :)

[@julioruedalegua406]

So sick so far, I'll be waiting the next video

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Drops Thursday AM!

[@lakeacid6431]

great as always

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@wheresmyrooptoff4056]

Is it practical to use an iron and a wet towel/cloth to fix such deep creases? By putting the wet towel on the toe box with a stretched out shoe tree inside and then ironing it.

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Generally, that will work as well. That being said, these were probably too deep for that method.

[@usi_overdose8659]

Damn bro, incredible work so far💪🏽❤️

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Honestly, they're looking a lot better than expected thus far.

[@spudscarborough5217]

Truly master class Which heat gun do you recommend?

[@VintageKicksGallery]

For tight areas: amzn.to/2QaFNvK For regular use: amzn.to/32wSB20

[@spudscarborough5217]

@@VintageKicksGallery thanks man I truly appreciate it

[@capri1412]

How did you make that color?

[@Zeus_santana]

Are you thinking about aging and reshaping any Jordan 1 retros to look ‘85? Kinda like when you aged the soles on the UNC 85s last year?

[@VintageKicksGallery]

I have a pair of the "85" Natural (I mean Neutral) greys in the works.

[@Zeus_santana]

@@VintageKicksGallery can’t wait, I copped a second pair for resell just to age so I can keep my first pair on ice. Looking forward to it

[@sneakerheat9809]

My size my favorite 1s😞

[@VintageKicksGallery]

They'll be for sale soon..

[@ryanmmadden]

selling this pair?

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Actually, yes. I'll be posting info on the last video.

[@iceman9182]

Ain’t no one wears there j’s like that anymore

[@jkurtz87]

Imma need bud I'm a 13

[@Hooah-x]

If something is vintage, then you leave it alone…..

[@Birmp.]

Leave them og don’t paint

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Unfortunately the finish is straight up gone on parts of these so leaving them would ultimately cause the leather to dry/split. I'll do them justice though and NOT touch anywhere near the edges, stitching, or glue.

[@Hooah-x]

You fucked them up. You should have just left in the Original form….
