Restoration - How To Repair 25 Year Old Jordans

- We’ve got another insane 25-year-old Air Jordan 1 restoration today courtesy of Vick Almighty. Today he’s going to show you how to restore Chicago Jordan 1s from 1994. Yes, 1994 is the year that the Jordan 10 made its debut, but Vick loves working on older Jordan 1s. This pair is going to require a full midsole swap, among other things.
The goal is to keep the ‘94 Chicago Jordan 1s as OG as possible. Now of course the midsole isn’t going to be, but the rest of the restoration work will be very minimal to avoid taking away from the character and nostalgia of the shoes.
After getting rid of the old midsoles Vick used the RESHOEVN8R Essential Kit to scrub 25 years worth of dirt and grime off of the uppers and insides of the shoe. This included a deep clean with the Soft Bristle Brush and Solution, as well as the Medium Brush for some of the deeper stains. No need to clean the soles as we’re replacing them with brand new ones.
Now for the fun (or sad) part, removing the donor soles from the brand new Jordan 1 Low. Vick removed the stitching with a pick and used acetone to slowly attack the glue until he could peel the shoes apart. Then, he let the new donor soles soak in coffee to give them an aged, cream tone.
It’s time to build these ‘94 Chicago 1s back up…but we’re going to need some help. Welcome back, Sal the Sneakerhead!
Sal is a master of restoring old shoes and completing difficult sole swaps, so we called him in to teach Vick a thing or two about the process. The two work great together, and in no time at all the pair of sneakerheads were able to dremel out the donor soles in order to fit the uppers properly, apply and cure the glue, and stick the shoes back together.
For the finishing touches Vick touched up some of the red paint that has worn off over time, and these bad boys are ready to take straight to the toe.
What do you think of this ‘94 Chicago Jordan 1 restoration? Was it worth the effort and the destruction of the donor shoe? Let us know in the comments down below.

I've learned 99% of what I know about restoring shoes from the man Vic ✨ what started off as a hobby and a way for me to buy more sneakers with less money has turned into a decent side hustle 💰 Thanks for sharing your wisdom with all of us my friend ✌️
Same here, learned everything from Vic, and turned a hobby into a side hustle that helps me get more equipment or more ey towards sneakers, I mainly whiten soles or ice them out for people, but I clean them as well and restore the nap on suede/nubuc, but I'm still working on paint matching and still need to buy an air brush, I've got a decent amount of equipment and products from Angelus but would love to be able to restore a grail like this, just gotta keep trying, I've messed up on a pair or two of my own but I stripped the paint off and am working on figuring out the right combination. Hopefully Angelus keeps a record of any color they have ever matched, I'm sure they would share with you how to get any color they ha e matched. I bought the paint wheel to help guide me in the right direction and got some droppers so I can add colors one drop at a time. Keep working at it and you will get there
Real talk bruh …Vic da goat
I love the glossy finish of these Chicago 1s...
Those shoes are so old even Leonardo DiCaprio wouldn’t date em lol
L ratio
Elite comment
These remarks are getting old. For sure Leonardo DiCaprio will hate them
Foul😂😂
Anything as long below 25 years retro
Always fire resorts up here. I thought there was no coming back for them at first but as always SURPRISE.
You know how we do it!
I can’t wait for the the lost and found Chicago’s these look close to them.
True those are gonna be so nice
Vick never disappoints
Never ever.
I CANT WAIT TIL I GET MY FIRST VIC CUSTOMS & THAT RESHOE VN8R is FIRE
Vic restored these shoes but even restored himself at the end 😂
You should try the oven method for removing the soles, 220 for 10-12 minutes, a little bit of acetone in the shoe before you put them in. You can pretty much just peel them apart once you take them out, way easier and less work.
Can you do a video on fixing wrinkled cages on the 4s
So freaking cool man! Love the result, you killed it again! 🙏🏻🙈💪🏻
It def looks good . I wanna try my hand at restore a shoe . See how i do at it
Best shoe cleaner ever🔥🔥💪🏻
Appreciate that!
Great to so an og pair lookin fresh again thanks to vic
They really turned great

You know!
Fire restoration 🔥

Very nice and clean restoration.
Personally I wouldn't age the soles but they look amazing
Talk about a revival
For real!
The ogs
Best shoe cleaner out there use this every time 🦾
Facts. Thanks for rocking with us.
I have a pair of Jordan 11 green snake skins and the sole is really yellow. I was wondering if you can clean them up for me and how much to send them to you?
Awesome video, very detailed 😀
Doing our best!
What acid did he use to split the sole from the shoe? Looks dangerous
I want a Kit!
lets go vick
Very nice!
Sick!
Ever cleaned/restored a LeBron XV?
I love chicagos. The jordan 1’s older colorways are nicer
Agreed
Why would you put coffee to make it look old? Lmao the point is make it look new 😂
Has anyone tried to do this them selves and being a novice at it .. i wonder if its a hard process . I wanna try myself at doi g this and wanted to ask some questions .. someone comment if so .
🔥🔥🔥
Nice
You should clean the new Travis Scott lows
W
🔥🔥🔥💪🏾
That shoe is 28 years old!!!! 25 is 1997/ not 94
We rounded down because 25 sounds better than 28 lol
👍🏾
🔥🔥🔥🔥❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Wooooaah
That’s my dream right there, to get to the level where I can restore shoes that well and give back some of that life lost… I’ll keep working at it till I get there 🫶🏼you’re such a big inspiration for me Vick!!
Thats what i want to to do as well in the future
It’s bugging me you’re saying these pair are 1994 but the title says 25 year old.. that would make them 28 years old 😂
Perhaps a re-upload 🤔🤷♀️
@@Che3esyMcLove I mean they didn’t have this setup 4 years ago but if it makes you feel better 🤷♂️
That’s a WHOLE LOT of modification. And you have to ask yourself “Is the juice worth the squeeze”?
Maybe not for you, but for them, most likely yes.
unless these were 85s I agree not worth it you could just buy the newer Chicago's but as always vic does a good job
Apparently the classification of 94 Jordan 1s are wrong the whole time and has debunked recently to have actually released in 95
Seeing this video makes me want to get the Jordan 1 “lost and found” so much more.
Man, this is a grail and bucket list for me. I hope to find a pair of 85’s or later to do a full restoration like this. Great job in honoring an era Vic👏🏾
i have a 2013 pair that i messed up bad trying to restore. lmk if you wanna help 🤣
Yooooo! This restoration is so beautiful and satisfying!! Vic always does an incredible job🙌🏽🙌🏽 The amount of time and love put in his restorations is incredible. Love to see such a classic brought back to life🤙🏽🤙🏽 Best restoration products out there!
Thanks so much!
This video is amazing. You are my best youtuber. I'm from Italy 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹 🇮🇹. You are very good at fixing jordans👍👍👍👍
Dang bro your vids are a blessing. Thx
I like it when Vick restores both shoes especially when there some bomb classics such as these 1s 🔥👍🏻
I see what u did there
Shout out to the original owner because they conditioned the leather amazingly for that shoe that there’s no cracks in the leather
I'll be honest with you idk what the quality of the leather is on these, but I have a pair of AJ1s from 1998 and there is such a thick layer of polyurethane on the leather that the leather still looks great, but it's impossible to condition the leather with that polyurethane layer on it. I'm thinking that's the same case with these, because if you noticed the leather on these were really shiny which is exactly how mine look, once again because of that polyurethane layer. If these had just paint on them then they wouldn't have that shininess to them.
@@NonLegitNation2 Ohhhhhh I never knew that cause I was hear thinking the reason it had that shine was cause of mink oil dang
@@burfside no that's the polyurethane, it's nice for protecting the leather but then again it also makes the leather feel like straight up plastic which sucks.
@@burfside I'll post a video on my channel tomorrow showing what I mean.
Thanks for having me again guys! We gotta come with another banger for another video👀
Damn Vic the man. I wanna get into this so bad!! I need the kit and am adding all Vic’s stuff to my wish list to get as I can
Such disrespect to the K Cups lol. Could've bought a small can of coffee.
Not agreeing with destroying a perfectly new pair just for the soles, use a fake pair sole wich is exaclty the same ffs
It’s crazy how you can make them look so clean 🔥 love watching these videos
I would love too know what color mixture was used too fix up the spots of red
How long is paint gonna last on some 25 years old leather when you wear them
*1995 Chicago 1s. Only the 3s retroed in 1994.
Crazy how u guys bring the OG sneakers back to life u guys really do an amazing job over there 👍🏾✌🏾
Great restoration SIR VIC....thats why u r my number 1 idol in shoe restoration.....btw sir can u give me an idea about my lebron james 18 low?the problem is my shoe was bitten of ants....thats why the color of my shoe was lost...i mean its faded away....i put it a bosny spray paint....and my shoes are totally damaged by its color....what can i do now to remove it?
🔥🔥🔥🔥
A good rule of thumb with chemicals is that whenever you have to wear a mask with something you should always wear gloves as well. That acetones soaking right through your fingers and getting into your bloodstream and doing more damage than The smell.
cap I drink acetone
Red Octobers floating in the back, look dope asf
Appreciate that glad you caught it!
I have some Yeezy 700 that need a restoration is it possible I can send them to you idc the price
Honestly this cleaner isn’t as good as you would think my little brother got some marker on my shoe and I’ve been scrubbing for about an hour and it won’t come out
Not surprised by this video,you guys are the best!
That means a lot, thank you!
Yo where can I find some fake ones for cheap. I knw they sell them at Thailand and China for $30 US but I live in Cali
Dope, I’m just not a fan of aging. I understand why he did it in this case, but wearing them would allow it to happen naturally.
Bonjour je regarde beaucoup tes vidéos j’aimerais énormément apprendre ton métier ce métier est très passionnant je suis ouvert à toutes propositions !😊
Really good vidéo.
LOVE THESE VIDEOS !!!!
Thank you!
I love the restoration but I don't like the iron method it left those 94's kinda deformed
2nd view love from Bangladesh
I'm sorry but that i hate that coffee method on the soles, why not just keep it white 🐻❄️
I need to get multi brushes for when I clean my different uppers, like suede, faux fur
Best customs! Best restorations, best products for shoe care, sure sum ppl would disagree. We just don't listen to hype, reshoevn8r hands down is a great company, with the best products. Hope u guys continue to prosper and blow minds, cleaning all those beaters has made Vick a specialist in all aspects of the trade. Outstanding work Reshoevn8r!
Thank you!
I remember when I was a kid and Air Jordan’s first came out and I was 12 years old. My older cousin bought a pair and showed them to our granddad and he was in disbelief that he paid $60 for some sneakers. My first pair of Jordan’s were the Air Jordan 4’s in 1989 and payed $120 for them when I was supposed to buy school clothes with the money my mom gave me. She was pissed. LOL Now here I am a 49 year old sneakerhead paying $200 for Jordan’s watching restoration videos. 😂😂 Rest peace Granddad.
That's awesome!
Damn how much to restore my OG Cherry 12s 🍒
No Jordan 1s came out in 1997
bro they came out 1985
I am going to buy one of does on ebay they are not cheap but that's my dream having a real og jordan 1
Me being a smart boy and buying reps
🤗
The restoration of this shoe was superb u really did your magic I fully recommend this product salute!!!
Salute to you too, thanks for rocking with us.
Y'all Stay fresh/CLEAN and Coooornated 💯✌️
Hey Vick, I got an idea. The next time you restore 11s, use the crystal clear on the patented leather instead of mink oil. I think it'll look and work better.
Good idea!
The work they do with these restoration are top shelf got to love them.
Appreciate that!
Arizona
Im curious over time how well does the glue they used for the sole will it' last
Man if I really had the skill to do this I would make tons of money off the blk market
You should do a swarovski custom on Jordan 1 chicago 2015
Jordan 1s are the ultimate challenge, good luck 👍🏾
As always Vic never disappoints. Seriously ridic! Would love to be able to do this and keep shoes outta the landfill.
Yeah he's talented for sure, thanks for watching!
Love ❤️ the results and how clean they are. Those are 🔥🔥🔥🔥
For anyone who doesn't know, fakes (reps, UA's, ect.) were floating around back then as much or more than now. These are 1000% bootleg. If you want to see an authentic pair get at me. Love the channel, worst restoration yet. Begging for clicks. 😵
🤣 you tried.
There’s a very fine line between “finesse” and “bodge job”
Great video as usual! Why keep the thread from the sole?
Was this filmed a while back? The maths doesn't add up lol. 1994 was 28 years ago, turned out amazing though 🔥🔥
Nah we just rounded because 25 sounds better than 28.
Buggin me, says 25 years old but its 28 years
