Suede Air Jordan 12 Bordeaux Restoration

Air Jordan 12 Restoration - One man’s trash is another man’s treasure… such is the case when you put a beat up pair of Jordans in the hands of Vick Almighty. This wrecked pair of Bordeaux Air Jordan 12s may look bad, but Vick and his trusty RESHOEVN8R should make quick work of this sneaker restoration.
Let’s start by cleaning up these Air Jordan 12s with the RESHOEVN8R Essential Kit. Vick used the Solution and Soft brush to clean up the delicate suede uppers, the Medium brush to scrub the midsoles, and the Stiff brush to tackle the outsole.
When you’re cleaning a suede sneaker, it’s important to avoid getting the suede too wet. With heavily dyed shoes like the Bordeaux 12s, the suede will bleed some color, so you have to be careful to avoid accidentally dying the white midsole.
After the preliminary clean, it’s easy to see that the Bordeaux Jordan 12s are already looking much better. Can you believe that these were probably going to be thrown away? But Vick is never satisfied: we still have some more work to do.
See that yellow sole? Most people don’t know that this yellowing is reversible. RESHOEVN8R Sole Revive and the powerful UV rays of the Vick 2000 turned the sole crispy white!
Next up let’s tackle the creasing on the midsole. The easiest way to remove creasing from foam midsoles is a heat gun. Once the creasing was removed, it’s time to sand down the scuffs on the midsole and prep it for new paint.
To color match the paint Vick ended up mixing 6 different colors. Finding the perfect match can take some time, but it’s well worth it, we want this shoe to look like it’s straight from the factory. With the fresh paint laid down, we can shift our efforts to the suede, which after our clean has become crunchy and ashy.
Vick used the Medium brush and Brass Bristle Brush to reset the nap of the suede, and then finished it off with some Mink Oil to bring back that deep, maroon hue. Now our suede is buttery soft and vibrant once again.
Wasn’t that easy? It’s crazy what a difference a little effort and time can make in the life of a shoe. The Bordeaux Jordan 12 that we saw at the beginning of the video is a night-and-day difference from what it looks like now.
As I said, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Take this as a lesson…next time you’re thinking about getting rid of that beater pair, grab the RESHOEVN8R Essential kit and get them looking right!

Underrated shoe nobody talks about

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Yeah people sleeping on them

[@ndyebonkomo6603]

I just love the way this channel is so clean and professional

[@youthisreadwrong1038]

That sole revive makes a huge difference! The mink oil too, I noticed it magically brings out more color

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Yeah that stuff is the best! Glad you're seeing the results you want!

[@TheSnkrPimp]

Mink oil is a key ingredient for any customiser/collector

[@axpect8983]

Mink oil basically like adding water to dried paint it’s not technically adding more colour just diluting it and spreading it. Guess we’ve all experienced this after spilling juice on Moms carpet😂

[@sweetassussy7682]

Or you can use salon care 40 👌

[@ninjadamus]

These were my wedding shoes so they’re pretty beat haha. Good to see the process on the cleaning because I was really worried about that bleeding

thats my 1st jordans i ever bought!!!

[@ctk1604]

[@GregFromMinnesota]

I just bought a pair of Pure Money 13s off of ebay for 35. Right shoe just needs some cleaning and a fresh coat of paint. Left shoe was colored with 3 different types and colors of paint and black permanent marker. Was hard to get the marker out of the Suede without messing it up. The suede will never be the same, but I'll make it look as good as possible. Just need to find a Suede Dye that closely matches the original color.

Everytime i see a vick resto i be like "lemme get one of these kits and some cheap beaters". But who am i kidding i could never do what he does.

[@damienlahoz]

hey guys, couple of additional tips. for very poor, faded or stiff suede a cuticle pusher is a great tool. it can even make some of the cheaper suede nike uses appear higher quality. also, while mink oil is great, it doesnt replace color that was lost. suede dye is nearly impossible to color match so that is also a poor option. what can work is highly diluted rit dye. create a clolor that is close then add multiple, up to a dozen or more, light coats. if done carefully, the dye will not change the tone or hue but will restore some of the lost color from the cleaning process or from aging. it also doesn't stiffen the suede either. get as close as you can with the rit dye then finish with mink oil to lock it in. good luck!

[@RESHOEVN8R]

Thank you for this additional tip

I was literally looking at these earlier 😂 They look pretty cool.

[@RESHOEVN8R]

They are!

[@timothydesilva7985]

I’ve learnt heaps from these videos so I appreciate Vick and the team greatly, I got a question though. Does mink oil work just as well to bring back colours on lighter suede like a turbo green or will it darken the colour? Any help would be appreciated.

[@RESHOEVN8R]

It will help bring back the color.
