I'm impressed of how you use the air brush so exactly without having any paint left on the midsole

[@adrian-ft6fq]

This is amazing! Please continue doing thrift videos like this 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@Realmontexmonte]

Bought these Cool Grey 11 lows from this guy that were kinda beat for $80 I restored them now they look brand new

[@MultiPasswordman]

videos like these make me want to go to my local thrift store and do the same...but everytime i go to the thrift store, no dice in finding shoes like these!

[@Shaylaspal]

Bro I went to my thrift store and found a pair of Kobe grey wolves for $2

[@MultiPasswordman]

@@Shaylaspal Daaaaaamn great find!

[@jeremyvales5034]

I was shopping at the thrift store because my shoe broke and needed a pair to get me through the day. A guy who was selling a bunch of stuff gave to me Air Jordan illusions White Wolf Grey for free.

[@mauropereira187]

Personally, even if I cant find a good shoe like this, I just use the one that interests me the most and restore it or customize it

[@lifesgoodeveryone5407]

Maybe he plays those shoes in there before he made the video

[@Mojojojo335]

You make this look so simple I don’t even know where to start

[@LuisGarcia-ew5xv]

Great video much respect for your art!

[@David-bc1lk]

he just saved himself 150 bucks

[@BabySaintVP]

What type of paint do you use for the whitening and coloring and spray gun

[@jessiah_____4089]

What stuff do you use the clean the shoes because I need to clean my trashed Jordan 4

[@Signedbyamir]

[@josuejaredflorescastellano7259]

You should do more videos like this one bro 🔥🔥🔥

[@samsonayokunle9180]

I love you man, I've been following since day 1

[@sneakermechanic]

Appreciate the support bro!🙏🏼

[@anthonyakauola9014]

What size were these and what state did you find them in because of the condition that they are in they look exactly like the beat up ones I left in my P.E locker 3 years ago please lmk

[@eve7096]

What shoe dye to use to change white to beige or white part to black. Please let me know the process how to do from start to finish for lasting results. Thanks

[@Firefighter423k]

Do you restore if people send them in? I got a pair of DC Rebound high tops

[@stevereid1471]

🔥🔥🔥💯 black laces all the way

[@soulbrother3299]

Awesome..clean up around edges but great job!!!💯

[@THATSAEASY1]

Video was dope and nice come up. I’m say black laces.

[@mattjclay]

Found a brand new pair of timberlands and a thrift store near me. They were my size. They just had a tiny white scuff on them. $20. Absolute steal.

[@lepec117]

YOU HAVE A KZbin. I’ve been following you on IG for quite a while and didn’t know. I’m hyped I found your channel.

[@sneakermechanic]

Slow start to my KZbin journey, but I’ll be posting weekly from now on!🙌🏼

[@moonchild66]

Wow!!!! Blk lace!!🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@kaybandzz0fficial]

Too hard🔥

[@jimmyhefner6968]

Fire nice

[@hitsu9218]

Absolutely beautiful

[@deeschannel3106]

What brand do you use black?

[@willhoward3178]

What was the first thing u used? Acetone? Ps. Make longer videos

[@brandocustomz6919]

That's so cool

[@Mojojojo335]

Whats the starter kit I need to start

[@farhaanm5225]

Anyways great video 💯💯

[@sirrvickx9663]

Your freehand skills are impressive.

[@gmain1977]

What kind of paint you use?

[@MrDman21]

Yo, he turned them into a pair of Chicago 1s 🤯

[@superwolf7058]

Good going

[@Alex24738]

I was at goodwill yesterday and they had nike air Max's

[@theasiandevil1782]

Fantastico bro

[@pokemonboi8840]

Bro changed the grey to shattered back bords

[@chrisdaboi5508]

You know that those were 300dollar shoes. Search up Jordan 1 retro Mid Black Dark Grey

[@natedoggCLIPZ]

What kind of paint do you use for the shoes ?

[@michellelawson9100]

I use Angelus Leather paint but I'm not sure what paint he uses but you can absolutely make these J's look new. I got the paint from Amazon for like $11. I've purchased J's from the thrift store for $8 and made them look like brand new.

[@Notxashamad]

We gotta call you the sneaker magician from now on!🪄🌟

[@b-moredeydey4109]

Damnn bro u nice 💯💯💯🔥🔥

[@maksteezy]

You just inspired the fuck out of me.

[@fatimasiddiqui1585]

Black lace

[@shaanyboyy5197]

The little time lapse u did of u driving looks like where my cousin lives

[@spriggsbm]

I would have gone with cream-colored lace.

[@kevinirizarry5526]

Very nice work but I would want the colorway more like pollens I'm not feeling the beige but the rest slaps

[@trx1614]

And this is why your called the sneaker mechanic.

[@ommashutosh943]

Bro you are doing a great work but i think you should be little bit more consistent on KZbin by which your channel will good faster love your work💛🖤

[@josuejaredflorescastellano7259]

I’m done bro 🔥🔥🔥

[@z_lp]

Nobody gonna talk about the yellow jeep he was next going into the parking lot and seeing it again when he was coming out

[@lepec117]

Do you wash the inside pretty thoroughly?

[@sneakermechanic]

Of course! Don’t want someone else’s crusty feet odor all up in my shoes😂 Sometimes I’ll even swap out the insoles if they’re too beat.

[@nub_yoloprophete6389]

[@Crystalbmt]

@@sneakermechanic thank u

[@SliiDman]

Cheat code no cap

[@carissafisher7514]

Well obviously you give them both sets of laces so they can choose! Duh!

[@370z420]

How did you keep the Jordan logo black, did you paint orange and then hand paint black or is there another method to keep its original color, like a tape off or something ! Great video keep it up !

[@Rightstandin]

not the same shoe

[@jordanhollis5736]

Bro that’s mad

[@goldrushhh]

Omg there amazing but try keep the vid a bit longer bro come on

[@allan1951]

Fab transformation but, I doubt they could ever be worth 500 dollars

[@bakes7423]

Far from it, no ones paying $500 for used customer 1 mids

[@bakes7423]

In a knock off SB colorway

[@divinefeminine9963]

[@farhaanm5225]

Those aren’t retros there mids my boy

[@tracywilson5179]

Good video on sneaker restoration. Please do better on the music with the "N" word in it. That was offensive.

[@sneakermechanic]

What are you referring too? There’s no lyrics in the songs I use!?

[@marcuscalelquisao8135]

whack

[@evanyoung5988]

Hey Im Evan with @Drowncustomz, you should definitely host a zoom sneaker wars like the one you did with judges and all that. Would be dope.

[@sneakermechanic]

Yo great idea! That would be sick!

[@rjgetz1120]

@@sneakermechanic hey bro not sure if you will see this but I got a old pair and it's cloth most of the shoe and I need help should I paint it white first or use my spray paint gun

[@alwaysbeenelias]
