They have a shorter height which makes it look wonky compared to the remastered Jordan 1 series and also they used suede which is extremely fragile. That’s a big reason plus a lot of us still got our 2017 pair that we prefer more since it’s leather and can just handle all weather
Crazy how these are sitting at my local nike outlet. I remember how big of a pain in the ass was in ‘13 during all star weekend when the royals released. Some stores only had 15 pairs and I paid resale. 17’ they also sold out instantly.
I am definitely a fan of people showing their creativity through making customs, but to me, this vid is proof that hype is sadly king. When i heard he was putting the fragment logo on the side I immediately rolled my eyes. And yes i agree, a Lost and Found version of the Royals would’ve objectively been a better looking shoe, but damn people can we just admire the Reimagined Royal for what it is? Of course a full on retro would’ve been "better", but is that seriously what we want? Just exact remakes of the same shoes over and over? I believe the suede goes super hard, and its different! Which i personally, cant complain with in the slightest! On the other hand, I'm a huge fan of low top shoes, and the balm on the black panels looked incredible. I personally would’ve only put the balm on the black panels, but it is what it is. Ultimately, this was a very interesting custom and I cant help but applaud your craftsmanship 👍 P.S just love your shoes however you want to, don't let peoples thoughts change yours
Overall, I find it challenging to reconcile the notion of improvement on a "disappointing shoe" because of the quality [according to your description box] simply by making it a low version.
You can share the picture of the shoe along with the description to Jordan@reshoevn8r.com. If we are interested in the restoration we will get back to you.
Dang Vick!. You've came a long way! Hot iron spatulas, patcher sewing machines, printed logos. This was a dope custom to do. That doc marten balm on them made them look sick. These were almost too bright with the suede, it definitely dulled it down. Helluva job!
Bro that bottle of Yellow Angelus paint in the back is huge! Also you killed this custom Vick. Well done! 🔥 I’d love to see a restoration on Travis Scott x PlayStation Dunk Lows if you can find them
I've been wanting to chop my Kobe X high "what the" for years now, lmk if you'd be down for the project, they are impossible to rock without looking super weird with how high they are normally, but a low version would be absolute fire. I emailed you guys like 2 weeks ago about several projects, and still have a huge box of old 2010 pairs of hoop shoes like Kobe huaraches and such that need a lot of work. I'll shoot another email with the contents of that box.
Would love to see you take these low cut customs a step further and start adding the back wings logo patch that are on the OG lows I think it would be interesting to see how your creativity and skill could make that work
i got a BEAT pair of chameleon 1s. I don't think you have worked on a pair of those in the past would you be willing to work on mine? sole is as piss yellow as can be, much heel drag, many creases, etc???
Hey Vick, long time fan of the page. While I don't have the shoes on me to restore, I did have a pair of Nike Dunk De-La-Soul Lows that I'd love to see get restored. I got them by mistake from the seller and sent them back, not knowing what I had. If you could do a pair of those I'd think it would be dope.
Where and how do I send my shoes? I have some 2006 DMP's. Sole separated and gold jumpman is gone. Tried to reglue but without success. They are still in excellent condition so no need to toss them. I also have a pair of emerald green 11s lows I want to change the color of the patent. leather. I just don't know what color yet. I was thinking about making them like the legend blues
What glue to use for Retro 11 translucent sole? Trying to find something that cures clear and permanent. Tip sole in is coming loose at front where sole and toe box comes together
This was my 2nd favorite AJ1 High release of the year, behind the '85 Black & White, and in front of the Palomino. Nice materials, the most "correct" toe box shape we've seen in a long, long time, and they look great.
yo vick! quick question, when you midsole swap 4s, could you get away with using a midsole that’s 0.5 size smaller? (ie. size 11 jordan 4 midsoles need swap but found a size 10.5 donor midsole) maybe they use almost the same size dimensions/platforms?? i know when you read the bottom of some insoles it’ll say it fits 10.5-11 shoes…
that wax and custom looks dope man...the wax is an espeially easy upgrade custom on the hi-tops just in and of itself. kinda makin me want to cop and copy....is it possible to cut an og style heel tab for the low cuts from the the leather/suede overlay on the ankle part that got cut off? if someone wanted to lol. i don't know why but i;'m just not able to get down with 1lows sans that og heel tab lol,
What's up vic I've been watching you for a couple of years and I use plenty of your methods to my madness I wanna do mines like that with the wings logo in back plus age the midsoles with cream laces with a new cream liner what you think?
What I like most about people disappointed about this shoe, is that the reseller worms are losing a lot of money. Kind of a payback for 2022.
fr man now the hypebeasts have gone to hell again us real heads can get good quality nice J1s real cheap
what was disappointing about this shoe? don't believe the hype. solid materials on these
They have a shorter height which makes it look wonky compared to the remastered Jordan 1 series and also they used suede which is extremely fragile. That’s a big reason plus a lot of us still got our 2017 pair that we prefer more since it’s leather and can just handle all weather
They just mad they can’t resell for money I got mine for 147 and they are great
Yeah i fck with em they look clean to me👌
Same, I think the suede looks great.
The only thing disappoing about the shoe was that re-sellers can't flip it b/c it didnt sell. The shoe is fire and they are mad about it.
I love mine, and I’m glad not everyone wanted them so I had zero problems getting them day 1.
These were the best of reimagined to me
what about lost and founds or cements? @@selfmade128
I double up on em
I’m not a big low cut shoe fan in any Jordan silhouette. However, these turned out REALLY good. Vic you do some very good collaborations.
Glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching 🙌
That was a dope custom vick
I don't know what everyone is complaining about. Those Jordans are fire as is.
Sick. It’s the contrast between the waxed leather and the suede for me.
im personally rockin with the high to low look you give these shoes. its just enough of a difference from the lows nike gives us. keep it up Vick!
Thanks for sharing your feedback 🙌
After seeing the wonder balm trick now i feel like i should get these kicks after not wanting them at first 😂
😁
But how does it hold up after a while the wonder balm of course
@@izikcoronado1965 you can always reapply the balm. This also makes it waterproof
Would have loved to see him add the Jordan wings logo on the heel of the low, stitched or embossed. But he still knocked it out of the park!
Crazy how these are sitting at my local nike outlet. I remember how big of a pain in the ass was in ‘13 during all star weekend when the royals released. Some stores only had 15 pairs and I paid resale. 17’ they also sold out instantly.
It is crazy

Im now wondering what the waxed suede would look like on my craft 4s
The good thing is these reimagines and the craft 4 are not selling for a crazy amount of money
I'm a keep mine exactly how i bought them. These are my favorite Jordan 1's of 2023.
No lie the highs look really dope with that matte finish, I might do this to a pair of a get em
You can share the picture of the shoe along with the description to Jordan@reshoevn8r.com. If we are interested in the restoration we will get back to you.
I think my pair of PSG 4's would be a dope episode haven't seen a restoration video on those yet
👍 emailed
dang did u see that other post where someone applied the wax to the olive 4s? i wanna see more waxed shoes tbh for fun!
We will surely try to come up with such content.
If u add the OG logo frame on the back it's perfect, awesome job man
Dope video bro!, I'm about to make an on feet review for my new kicks, along with the rest on my other on feet shorts
Nice! Keep up the great work!
Dang Vick!. You've came a long way! Hot iron spatulas, patcher sewing machines, printed logos. This was a dope custom to do. That doc marten balm on them made them look sick. These were almost too bright with the suede, it definitely dulled it down. Helluva job!
Thank you!
You are the best . I'm looking for a trick to have a clean topline for this project for a while now . Thank's so much .
These are lookin dope, but I would add the wings logo on the back to finish it
That waxy finish took the shoe to a different level. The shoe is so cheap, I might try this with my pair.
Has anybody else found any luck w/ more info on turning the suede into a leather finish using the wonder balm?! Pls n thanks!
How can we help?
Bro that bottle of Yellow Angelus paint in the back is huge! Also you killed this custom Vick. Well done! 🔥 I’d love to see a restoration on Travis Scott x PlayStation Dunk Lows if you can find them
Wow, master at work. You're the real deal my man. Those look 1000% better. Great job. Respect the husttle.
These came out really nice.. I’m thinking about doing it to my turbo greens
Vic you the man they turned out exactly how they were supposed to Customized great transformation
Thank you for the feedback on that and for tuning into the video. What should he customize next?
The wax🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed this project 🙌
The waxed upper made the leather liner match even better! Why did you not laser the Fragment logo? 🤔
The like the finish look on them, but not them being a low.
yooooo no way! i just waxed my pair and i am so happy with how it came out. the reimagined looks like the og now! thank you!
Thats awesome! Thanks for watching and glad you got some value from this video 🙌
how are they holding up?
You gotta do a sole swap... Virgil Off White Air Force 1s... Green one or the Rasheed Wallace sneakers.
I've been wanting to chop my Kobe X high "what the" for years now, lmk if you'd be down for the project, they are impossible to rock without looking super weird with how high they are normally, but a low version would be absolute fire.

I got my WTKobe 9s chopped down to a low. The 9&10 should have all been lows but I respect why.
I agree, how'd yours turn out, did they add a liner or just chop it down and lower the tongue? @@riccorobinson5723
Would love to see you take these low cut customs a step further and start adding the back wings logo patch that are on the OG lows I think it would be interesting to see how your creativity and skill could make that work
That could be very interesting. We can add it to the list for sure to see if Vick can make this happen.
Just spoke with Victor on this and he's up for the challenge. Next time he cuts a high into low we will try this. Thanks for the feedback!
@@RESHOEVN8Rsuper hype to see that thank you guys for listening 🙏🏽
Always a pleasure watching you. Keep up the good work Vick 😎
Thanks for the support, will do!
the wax made it look so much better. i need a pair now
Thanks for your feedback Eric!
@@RESHOEVN8R can get them dirty and clean them up. I want to see how that wax would hold up
i got a BEAT pair of chameleon 1s. I don't think you have worked on a pair of those in the past would you be willing to work on mine? sole is as piss yellow as can be, much heel drag, many creases, etc???
Send us some images to jordan@reshoevn8r.com
Vic just made some Jordan 1 low OG Mystic Navy’s 😂
Got mine on sale from the app....these are just so smooth
That was amazing. I like the original black tongue and I love what you did with the black leather.
I want a pair of these VN8 low reimagine blues!!!
I feel the same way the needed to bring those just like the lost and found!!!
love the way these wear but wasnt a fan of the all suede. I like the look of the black matte finish you gave these
Glad you liked this design! Thanks for watching.
Great transformation. I could've done without the fragment logo I don't think it was necessary. Great job 👍.
Thanks for the feedback. We are grateful for your love and support.
I got Air Jordan 1 Hyper Royals that needs to be cleaned & repainted & creases removed from the toebox
Hey Vick, long time fan of the page. While I don't have the shoes on me to restore, I did have a pair of Nike Dunk De-La-Soul Lows that I'd love to see get restored. I got them by mistake from the seller and sent them back, not knowing what I had. If you could do a pair of those I'd think it would be dope.
Good idea but not necessary a mean just buy some mystic navy and put the fragment logo on I would let the suede on to make it different
Thank you for that suggestion!
Sounds Like You’re Playing Some “LNDN DRGS” with some Larry June in the Background…!!! Hope You had a Great 2023 My Brother Vick Almighty…!!!
Wowwww now you have the Jordan 1 low mystic navy.
🙌
OMG i want to try this wonder balm on my J1 but i'm afraid to ruin them!
😍
That Sox cap is fire. That white stitching gives it a different vibe.
🙌
@@RESHOEVN8R link for it?
Unfortunately I don't have it, but we can check with Vick
Super dope!!! I wanna do this to a pair of ewings I have that are too high imo.
Where and how do I send my shoes? I have some 2006 DMP's. Sole separated and gold jumpman is gone. Tried to reglue but without success. They are still in excellent condition so no need to toss them. I also have a pair of emerald green 11s lows I want to change the color of the patent. leather. I just don't know what color yet. I was thinking about making them like the legend blues
Could you still iron out the toe box on these to change the shape?
Add the wings logo on the back please my ocd is going crazy. It’s easy remove it from the top and cut it into place
Might be neat if you unionized the Satin Bred top on the Low top Royal blue
Good idea too.
I wasnt ready for swade trick awsome job from beginning to end 👍🏾
Suede*
I expected to the sole to get the coffee dye treatment. These came out amazing but can you please just add the VA logo instead of FRGMNT.
What glue to use for Retro 11 translucent sole? Trying to find something that cures clear and permanent. Tip sole in is coming loose at front where sole and toe box comes together
Vick uses Barge Super Stick the most, but let me as him what he thinks
Makes me wanna buy another pair to try it.. great work!
Thank you!
This was my 2nd favorite AJ1 High release of the year, behind the '85 Black & White, and in front of the Palomino.
Nice materials, the most "correct" toe box shape we've seen in a long, long time, and they look great.
I love the Palominos
👍
Did the wax mess up the fibers ? Like making the shoe stiff when you walk causing it to crease a lil more than it would ?
Using balsam should not cause any such issues for light use.
Vic never disappoints but where can we get that White Sox hat? 😮💨
You don't happen to take orders for customs shoes such as these do you?
I have some fire red 4s or some carmine 6s you can use for restoration projects lmk vick 💪🏼
U need a SHOP in LA bro... need alot of my shoes customize :)
would love to see them in the OG cutting at the back tab
Can you recommend a customizer that could do something like this?
These are dope.
Thanks for the feedback!
yo vick! quick question, when you midsole swap 4s, could you get away with using a midsole that’s 0.5 size smaller? (ie. size 11 jordan 4 midsoles need swap but found a size 10.5 donor midsole) maybe they use almost the same size dimensions/platforms?? i know when you read the bottom of some insoles it’ll say it fits 10.5-11 shoes…
Ngl but the matte suede was a good call. Now I won't have a problem gettin a pair cuz they still sitting
Thank you for your feedback Timmy! Good luck on your pair 🙌
You heard it here folks. Vick prefers some length. He doesn't like it too short.
that wax and custom looks dope man...the wax is an espeially easy upgrade custom on the hi-tops just in and of itself. kinda makin me want to cop and copy....is it possible to cut an og style heel tab for the low cuts from the the leather/suede overlay on the ankle part that got cut off? if someone wanted to lol. i don't know why but i;'m just not able to get down with 1lows sans that og heel tab lol,
You should cut the parts from the sneakers not in use or are scraps. It's a matter of choice though.
I been writing you for years about them 6’s I got a scratch in the front I can’t wait for that vid
Stay tuned for next Monday! 🙌
They look good, but I would like the sock liner thicker like the high tops
Sick. Did this to my off white unc a while back
Hey i just ordered some used 9.5 jordan 4 tour yellow '06 i would just want them fully restored, let me know
Vick love your work bro!!, also where did you buy your white sox cap bro?
Ohh my god absolutely nailed it
😍
When these shoes release can you clean the Jordan 4 bred reimagined
We have already made the TH-cam video on Jordan 4 bred.
Damn!
You're the Michelangelo of the sneaker world.
Big props to you, my dude.🙌
Bro! I have a pair. Sz 15. What would be the cost to do mine?
These projects never turn out perfect...except when you do them :)
That's a compliment we like to hear. :)
custom aj1 are always so cool
So dope! Like to have a pair of those myself
So if I send yu a shoe in which I think YT needs to see do I get my shoe back??
Great outcome man. Good job. White tounge and white logo would have looked cool tpo
What's up vic I've been watching you for a couple of years and I use plenty of your methods to my madness I wanna do mines like that with the wings logo in back plus age the midsoles with cream laces with a new cream liner what you think?
DO the DRMARTEN trick to those satin bred 1's :O
How much u charge to do these to my blue the greats?
Im glad i was able to get a pair. I even got them on sale. I dont care if others didnt like them, i bought them to wear not to resell.
Wow these are clean as a low
I think with these 1s, if you just wax the black and leave the royal panels alone, pretty good look.
I must agree
The Royal blue and black Jordan 1s 😎
🙌
Them low!, and with that wax looks real clean!
Thank you for your support.
I have this shoe and I think it's dope the way it is idk why it gets so much hate bit your custom is dope in my humble opinion
That thing came out fire bro
Thank you!
I want a pair of these now
I always love Vick's way of working
