Restoring One of the Rarest Sneakers Ever: 1985 Air Jordan Kentucky OG

[@walterroux291]

Folks be making their vintage kicks look new and their new kicks look vintage.

[@marcopicazo4102]

Lmao true but ig on the older pairs it’s so they can be worn again with no worries

[@mikeandmars2345]

@@marcopicazo4102 something like that

[@map1537]

@@marcopicazo4102 I doubt its to wear them more like so they don't brake apart and could be for show for another 25 years

[@werdle2209]

Kentucky's, UNCs, and Natural Greys are my favorite OGs! Fire vid as always!

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Good choice!

[@sadclub8399]

VintageKicksGallery where do you find these vintage Jordan’s ? I’m wanting to get into collecting them but, I definitely don’t want to pay the wallet emptying resale.

[@30hours51]

SAD CLUB he just made a video on some Japan sellers i think

[@jasonwolfe3252]

I've been looking forward to the Neutral Grey 1s releasing in OG 85 high form next month but I know they will be impossible to get.

[@ZBVLN]

When you sprayed the clear coat you reminded me of the old man that did a full restoration on Woody in Toy Story 2 lol... those grails are clean!

[@JonathanRodriguez-yz7bj]

I was thinking of the same shit 💀💀

[@VintageKicksGallery]

hahahhaa!

[@novefamily1651]

Underrated channel

[@mathiasmapes9508]

I just discovered this video on my explore page on Instagram and honestly I am so glad I clicked on it. This was such an awesome video to watch. You did an AMAZING job at restoring those shoes. Keep up the good work 💪🏼

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@GreenDragonPainting]

That was really fun to watch! I appreciate you taking the time to bring us the videos! 😁 My favorite channel hands down.

[@VintageKicksGallery]

This was a really fun one to do. I feel like despite how they looked, the leather was in really nice condition under that grime.

[@GreenDragonPainting]

@@VintageKicksGallery i think they look AMAZING! Great transformation!

[@michaelcancilla9539]

Binge watching your old vids, hope you’re getting back on your feet. Me and I’m sure many others miss your content. Can’t wait for the next vid.

[@map1537]

This guy is a real one

[@koryshoes599]

So happy I came across this channel. Loving the vintage kicks!

[@robertguzman5274]

Good evening just watched this amazing Restoration great job. Do you have the brake down % of the colors you used for this job?

[@anon1066]

It’s amazing how well that salon care works

[@sj3802]

yeah lol

I used your video to help restore my Jordan 1 storm blue. Thank you.

[@Frankmidd]

Very respectful restoration

[@noelbucks7035]

I just have a fetish for vintage 1s

[@frankluera7767]

The shoe game Bob Ross.

[@aphilly2158]

Is that air brush good for painting also

[@RadioJustin]

Loved the setup - very low key video, but high key tips and tricks. Ordering me some Angelus Shoe Stretch as we speak - gotta add that to my arsenal. Also loved the work you did with the leather repair kit - how long does that stuff take to dry, if you don't mind me asking?

[@VintageKicksGallery]

You got this! It takes a good hour + to become workable with the rubbing alcohol but I generally wait one full day before getting into it with anything crazy like sand paper.

[@brendanhayes7789]

Unreal job! Subscribed!

Where can I buy that automotive brush? Tysm

[@VintageKicksGallery]

The scrubber? Here's a link: Electric Scrubber: amzn.to/2ThHKo9

[@teylor7559]

Yo that method to decrease the toe is amazing

[@JDplaysGuitar]

how many coats of blue and white did you apply? And how did you act around wingslogo, painted very closely or because of perfect blue match, you didn´t have to be so accurate ?

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Just a single coat for both as it covered nicely. On the wings, I just painted where needed/very close because the paint was an exact match.

[@sneakerheat9809]

Just ordered that electric brush

[@VintageKicksGallery]

You're gonna love it

[@blazealien7564]

Does the shoe stretch for on patent leather?

[@VintageKicksGallery]

I wouldn't try it tbh. Patent is just too temperamental..

[@rongosserandsneakersteez3566]

Insane!!! Great job!

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Thanks!!

[@MrBikboi]

Awesome video dude, new to the channel, and new to the whole sneakerhead game, fun to watch someone passionate about his craft make something beautiful again. It honestly doesn't even matter what it is, anyone with the passion and love restoring or building something is a joy to watch. On a side note why do you have Subscriber numbers turned off? Seems kind of bizzare.

[@toddmeade6224]

gotta share this one

[@ggtwinbee]

Is it possible to restore the scratched Nike tag?

[@kierenmoore3236]

This was cool. So much work. I’mma just buy a new pair. 🙃

[@rashea100]

Hey Vintagekicks do the portable airbrush gets clogged from paint or do you soak it in something so it won’t clog?

[@당신자신사랑-o7j]

What percentages of blues did u use?

[@BMW.e46.Carplay]

I liked the shoe at the start the most

[@nathanielrivera4720]

Out of curiosity, do you do touch ups and repairs (sole reattachment, etc) on jays?

[@quaa7224]

trying to make this blue for my storm blue 1s need help any suggestions ?

[@bennetjohn1896]

my 1s have some sole separation in the toe box and is it ok if i continue to wear it or i should re glue the part the separation happened ?

[@sambruce4275]

Where you find the old Jordans ?

[@icedevil1164]

I have the exact same pair of 1985 Kentucky Jordans from High School - They're in about the same shape - had no idea they may be worth so much $$ - should I restore or sell "as-is" if I was thinking about selling them?

[@donk5005]

People normally go for the vintage look nowadays

[@ryanmmadden]

Do you still have them? I want to buy and can make you a heavy offer.

If you not a famous youtuber,celebrity or a personal friend of his your sh--out of luck pal! He is making money and not interested in helping us find vintage Jordans ok? He does not have to. I have come to peace with it. Just be thankful that he is sharing valuable info on how to care for your kicks.

[@VintageKicksGallery]

It's a really tough market to buy in right now tbh. It all comes down to your budget and what size you need.

[@DerbyDad79]

This is my first time here man how u did this was amazing , I also hit the sub and thumbs up to . I have one question what do u use for the light box I have some old shoes I would love to get the yellow off . Maybe two? What is the Best product to use to get the yellowing off thanks in advance

[@VintageKicksGallery]

Yo I actualy have a tutorial video on building your own lightbox and go through the options. It should be under the restoration vids.

[@thiagoribeirodeoliveira8318]

please, what is the name of this glue that you applied to the material that was peeled?

[@toritos]

What's the name of the song played at the end? 💯

[@toritos]

Song name at the end pleease

[@Nogara7]

Are these wearable now that you restored them or is the structural integrity too weak anyways? i'm guessing glue and stitches would fall apart pretty quickly

[@VintageKicksGallery]

You can wear them if you dare but with the market the way it is, ouch if anything would happen to them. That being said, I regularly wear my 85's.

[@luxjuriousjay8318]

I kinda liked the yellow soles on them

[@benk3412]

Nice videos when did you start doing this

[@99problemstoysaint1]

Does anyone know what happened to vintage kicks gallery? Bro speaking for myself I love your content and would love to see you make a new banger. I hope your ok and please know you are messed.

[@hillaryyy.1xx]

MAAAN I really thought the bottoms of the shoes were meant to be yellow XD

[@Kashfrmdaway]

That Sole Is Yellow Asf 😤😂 Idk If You Fix It Or Not I’m Not At The Part Yet

[@caydenchristensen610]

I would just clean and sanitize them and leave the paint exactly how it is looks way better in my opinion

Great restoration! Man I’d love to wear these. I love beating the heck out of my 1s.

@@VintageKicksGallery Oh I see. Regarding the outsole, what if it becomes too dark for my taste, would the salon creme 40 work just fine to lighten it up a little?

They're 35 years old- You have to maintain some of the age. They should not look like they were produced yesterday.

[@kevinchristiansaplot6483]

Same feeling. It’s a restoration and by ‘restoration’, it means bringing it back to life as much as possible.
