These Jordan 13 Chicagos are HEAVILY worn! I found them for $20 online thinking they would make for a simple restoration, but I was wrong! I started by giving them a deep cleaning and regluing any separated areas. When I went to repaint them, I noticed the previous owner used whiteout... It was tough to clean it off, but then I proceeded to paint them correctly... using Angelus acrylic leather paint. Then, I tried to repair the suede and dyed it using Angelus suede dye. After, I unyellowed the soles using our Indoor icebox, removing a decade’s worth of oxidation from the rubber. Finally, I carefully defogged the hologram using a heat gun - something I really enjoy doing. Although this restoration showcases the Chicago colorway, you can apply some of these techniques to other Jordan 13s like the bred 13s. Check out the full video to see this satisfying transformation!
