We appreciate the vids, you got time into restoring sneakers keep up with the content bro 🙏

[@airtec87]

the wire mesh stayed white after 20+ years..... meanwhile the 2016 pair mesh gets yellowed after a handful of wears. crazy how cheap quality 2016 are.

[@neryn.5660]

Thats true

[@woo_shynen8805]

Thats why I never bothered to go back and get a pair now

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

depends how humid your environment is. My 2016s are ice white through out and ive worn them a handfull of times

[@wilt3051]

my 2016 mesh crumbled and i had 2 replace em

[@jayel2023]

Nice job john 🎉

[@karanmdn]

I never found sneakers on beach. Which sneaker detector are you using for finding sneakers buried in the sand 😂

[@Tommy2Txmes]

Lol. Word

[@user-qk5vw6wl3t]

Nice job 🎉❤️

[@FIAxXBLAZE]

I’ve been using that Oxyclean powder and UV light on fabric/mesh for years. It’s a game changer, makes you look like a magician to those who don’t know. FYI I emailed you about some classic greens last week. Hope you see it 🙏🏼

[@RestoreAndResale]

man, so many nuances and random tidbits that I pick up every time I watch your videos. even if I'm not working on that particular shoe, I always pick up a technique I can apply elsewhere. These are truly unwearable though? what do you believe will happen to the leather after a few wears?

[@ZNA_productionz779]

Love your. Before and afters.

[@NoahPallat]

SO CLOSE TO ONE MILLION! Keep it up man!

[@Juicemanfonz]

Always be great 💪🏾

[@Konglomerant]

Damn, bout time!!! Nah but for real, Amazing work…

[@timwauson2733]

Do you have a cricut template for the air units?

[@James-cp8rc]

i have an og space jam 9 but the sole has crumbled and i need a tuturial

[@NonLegitNation2]

honestly since those FIBA Jordan 4s are so cheap I'd love to see a custom where you remove those rubber pieces where the netting is supposed to go and replace it with the proper netting and do the netting that dark blue so it matches the rest of the blue on the sneaker.

[@madlab1125]

Great video and music

[@johnandrew00]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@TheLogic497]

What size thread do you use for the toe cap stitching?

[@acejayyyy]

how’s the mesh on the 1999 white cement jordan 4 still white mean while the 2016 white cement Jordan 4s is yellowing…I noticed this with my 2016 white cement 4s and all the newer pairs with white mesh netting

[@dunksrnice]

🔥🔥

[@davidjoyner7827]

Do you have any websites recommendations for insole replacements?

[@airmaxaxel6737]

I was expecting a tarantula to come out the sneaker

[@BigBooty5er]

Stayed in a box 20+ years…. I thought you found them digging a hole at the beach….. lol Good job John (numbers Ayy Ayy Ayy Ayy), I had some great takeaways: 1. Use a syringe with acetone to remove the midsole from the sole 2. You don’t have to completely remove the old midsole paint if they it’s not cracked/damaged 3. Remove the top layer of synthetic leather when gluing the midsoles to the uppers Thanks for the detailed video!!!

[@realsole_]

hey bro how to thin again the glue that are thick inside bottle? can i steam it or what?

[@johnandrew00]

you can heat it up or mix it with acetone. I do both

[@johnandrew00]

i've never tried to steam it before so idk how well itll work

[@realsole_]

thanks for the tips bro 🤙

[@tybluemoney660]

plls do a sole swap on jordan 9s

[@nickp3173]

Surprised the netting isn't cracking/yellowed. You sure they 99? Lol. 30% hydrogen peroxide works for sock liners and netting? I see it for sale from labs and such. You don't need special credentials to purchase them? I actually bought barge thinner to thin out my barge cement. Acetone works too? I'm even more shocked that the back tab and wings aren't brittle. Thats crazy. Oldest shoe i've restored is an 01. I do shoes mainly in NY/NJ.

[@Jthelegendary]

if youre struggling with dirt in your paint finish you should invest in some tack rags. A quick wipe over before you paint catches small particles like dust.

[@Crash-Out]

Im a new subscriber and love what you do and i would love to learn how to do this one day i would love to enter your giveaway but dont have Instagram but if i dont win its cool ill still watch your channel great job john.

[@Evababy.d]

I have the fibass and they are fire :c

[@silversurfa3583]

Were u trolling about the toaster oven and if not can u use air fryer on bake as substitute 😂?

[@davisgoicoechea]

Curious why you reuse outsoles that have so much drag/wear?

[@brooklyn7941]

Use a soft medium brush to brake up the dirt next time

[@michelearnold8708]

Are you using vinyl glue?

[@anakin234506]

Size 13 Anakinthechosen1 great vid!! Love the process

[@Vibewithvee_]

🔥🔥🔥 What paints or paint did you use for the grey midsole ??

[@BCJ3030]

You can use Angelus White Grey Cement 4, I think that'd work well

[@Vibewithvee_]

@@BCJ3030 nah Angelus white cement is from 2012… 2012 and 2016 releases have different tones of grey. Ones dark and one is light

[@BCJ3030]

Ahh my bad, maybe you can experiment with adding a little of what you need. Good to know tho. Might be a good starter

[@knifer9008]

Bro turned X ray while getting the shoes 💀💀💀💀💀

[@renegado4173]

How much are these shoes worth? How much did you spend on product and supplies? Is it really worth going thorough this trouble???

[@Optz.choice]

We quick

Can u fix them

[@jonnytoohotty]

How much would something like this cost??

You buried them days before and went back to get them or what? Lol

[@BlueLineKing7]

Obviously. The “I had a feeling and started digging for 30 minutes” while finding a rare pair of sneakers right together hidden just a foot under the sand doesn’t pass the common sense test. Just don’t get why these guys gotta lie about stupid stuff, they could just make the restoration and leave out the fake shit.

[@user-li6vw3gp2x]

you have a channel restoring shoes and you just happen to be digging around and fine rare vintage shoes in some random mud spot. ok

[@nickp3173]

If you've been watching for years like the rest of us, you would know it's just a joke.

[@FunkymonkeEJ]

This dude puts more effort getting them dirty than cleaning them

[@Benito722]

🙂‍↕️

[@AllOutNoobHater]

Why do you keep saying that the leather is synthetic? It's real leather on these pairs. I have them sitting next to me. Now, the material on TOP of the leather is just a polyurethane coating, but that's it.
