Flipping eBay pick-ups with a couple simple steps! In today’s episode of Restorations with Vick Almighty, he will walk you through exactly how to clean and restore one of the most iconic colorways or all time!
This restoration wasn’t as routine to Vick; since he never worked on this color before the color matching was going to be tough. The main steps of this restoration would be cleaning, unyellowing, and a quick repaint!
To kick off the restoration you have to start with a clean slate. To take care of this cleaning we relied heavily on RESHOEVN8R products. One great thing about these sneakers is that we didn’t see a lot of color bleed while cleaning that upper material. We did choose to wash these in the laundry system. When buying used sneakers it is always a great idea to give them the deepest clean possible with the Laundry System.
After the shoe was clean and disinfected it was time to move over to removing the nasty yellowing. To do this it took a couple coats of Sole Revive and 4500W of UV rays. Luckily it only took about 5 days to get the results Vick wanted.
Now we move onto the tricky part… The repainting process! With this process comes a lot of taping and prep work by removing the paint that was previously on the shoe. Once Vick has the perfect paint mix all that’s left to do is hand-paint it on the midsole! Painting it with a paintbrush rather than an airbrush allows him to be super precise.
With the midsole repainted, we are almost wrapped up in this restoration. The last step is to revive the suede using Mink Oil and a Horsehair brush. Now this 2017 pair is looking almost as good as the day it dropped… minus the bald spots on the suede that are not repairable.
Overall Vick killed this restoration…. What is one shoe he has never restored that you want to see!?
