this 53 minute video felt like it was 5 minutes long. what an unbelievable amount of time and detail put into this full restoration. definitely the best jordan restoration/custom i've ever seen in my life
@danielmiller3627 shoe doc doesn't take shoes like this and completely rebuild them so let's give credit where it's due. Shoe doc is great at what he does but this is a different level and doesn't compare
Hands down best restoration I've seen. You brought these back from the dead and the cracked purple leather is a thing of beauty. They're restored so perfect that they look like they've never been touched just aged naturally. Beautiful Beautiful work👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
This is like Ship of Theseus. How much of the original is left and can this even be called restoration of original or building a new shoe from a few salvaged parts.
Excellent video and excellent work. My only suggestion for you is maybe get a leather sewing machine with compound feet. That vintage Singer you are using just doesn’t have the piercing power, and you might just wear it out trying to sew leather. You can get a vintage Singer leather machine for less than $500, and they have lots of extras for it on the open market. If you have the $, you can get a Brother leather machine (that’s what I have) that will sew anything. Once again, great work and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
I'm speechles man. As an artist myself I recognize the talent, not only the flawless craftsmanship or the perfect technique but the inspiration, the exquisite good taste. You bring joy to my eyes with your work man. congratulatios, good luck and keep it rocking!
Real craftsmanship, looks absolutely stunning!! The only thing I personally would’ve done, was slightly staining the new shoe tongues. Keep uo the good work 🙌🏼🙌🏼
I absolutely admire the attention to detail of this deconstruction, reconstruction of these shoes. Your skill level is in total view, for all to see. Well done Sir 👏
Amazing! I have 2 old Singers like yours. Your used a different foam now. My favorite part was the glueing the toe box on the last. Then sewing it after.
Great restoration the jordan 1s are great example of a survivor. With those skills you displayed you can make up something old to damn near look new good stuff
This is a masterpiece, it belongs to a museum! Really! I'm curious to ask you one thing, if obviously you can tell me: what is the name of the font used for the inside sizing (when you used screen printing)? I would love to put that little detail in my j1's, i really hope you can help me. Have a good day!
@@Maxio6 thank you so much Maxio. I follow you from like 1 year bow, and in that time my love for sneaker culture have grown so much, i love all the details! Anyway i was curious what's the meaning behind that code: i want to put it in some black toe, but i don't know what "code" to use😅
Question: I am new to watching these restorations, so I am curious because they are refurbished and slightly customized does it remove value from the shoe itself, or does it help raise potential value because you have a video showing a complete restoration of an original pair into a slightly used looking condition. I still have my AJ 6 OG Black Infareds... only wore them a few times when I got them in 1991 and Stopped wearing them as they were not very comfortable, at least to me. and while they are not tore up like the ones in your video they could use some light reconditioning, but right now they just sit in their original box untouched on a shelf for the past 33 years.
That was a super-human effort and it has a truly restored aesthetic. I have a pair of 4's I refuse to toss always thought of doing something with them to clean them up but this has shown me the error of my ways lol.
With how gone these were, I didn't think it would be possible. WORLD LEVEL TALENT and craftsmanship. How would these shoes be classified? Custom Remade?
Bruh, I didn't know you were on TH-cam lol. I noticed you subbed to me and I was like no way hah. Really appreciate you taking the time and effort to do this project/video. Great freaking video man. Can't wait for more from you. Big fan!
Amazing work, just a genuine question, why not oil/recondition the leather? I imagine it would make it last longer and be easier to work with, especially with the leather being an old, dry and cracked chrome tan like that?
This was great. I don’t know much about shoes but impressive work. Are these expensive or is it a sentimental value that would make someone restore them?
They’re original 85 Jordan’s. Definitely worth restoring considering how difficult it would be to get your hands on a pair in good condition. Definitely worth a pretty penny
Does the metallic purple make them more valuable? If I was going to go to such lengths I would have replaced the metallic purple with black leather. You know the plastic purple cloth will be the first part to fail, even though the leather is from 1985.
Dude I loved every minute of this!!! Two things though, first what metallic material was used? Second what was the purpose of using three different pieces for the underlay of the collar instead of one full piece underneath?
Great question! the metallic is a vinyl sheet from Etsy (very hard to find the right shade) and the reason why I pieced the collar into 3 parts is because I simply didn't have enough metallic material to make a single cut.
I professionally restore antique books, mostly leather bound, and am seeing so many cross-overs, frankly this is looking easy, except I have only done sewing without a machine. I really want to try this now. One thing had me going crazy is when he removed the air Jordan from the high heal area. I'm only half way through video rn, but hopefully there is a good solution to adding the ink back--because in my world of restoration that is a huge no no. 🤞
I had the same reaction to the removal of the logo! To me this project crossed the line from a restoration into becoming an entirely new creation and more of an artistic representation of the original. Deleting an original logo only to completely repaint it is usually sacrilege in restoration and it looks like the original colorway was the metallic green and then it was turned into the metallic purple. However, after a little searching around it seems the standards and conventions of sneaker restoration are different than fine art or antique book restoration. Which I guess makes sense. The craftsmanship is impressive and the end result looks nice. And I think that's really all that matters with sneakers.
Le felicito,todo un trabajo de un maestro.ya no hay personas tan expertas en la restaura ion del calzado.felitaciones..quedaron nuevos.. Todo un maestro.en la restauración. Que maravilla.. Gracias..
These are the type of shoe restoration videos I like. ASMR, no annoying narration and no crappy music, just craftsmanship. 😎
riiiight!? no wierd mouth stuff 🤢
this 53 minute video felt like it was 5 minutes long. what an unbelievable amount of time and detail put into this full restoration. definitely the best jordan restoration/custom i've ever seen in my life
He even kept that used look to them. They look 36 years old but are still in good condition.

Blown away by the dedication to accuracy. You did an outstanding job, couldn’t be any better. You are a god in this community never stop!
This is like Ship of Theseus. How much of the original is left and can this even be called restoration of original or building a new shoe from a few salvaged parts.
This is god level restoration.
That might be an understatement. Lol. I'm in awe right now.
God don’t restore…. He creates 😂
@@OGbobbyKUSH God can restore us if we were on the wrong path or broken and thinking we are in disrepair.
@@d.felixphoto2260 umm he better get to work then…. Is he overbooked?
@@OGbobbyKUSH if you need him and call he will restore anyone. God favors the faithful
Had to go in the same stitch holes. best restoration person out there bar none!!!!
Glad to see you back on TH-cam! I know how tedious editing these videos must be. Hope you upload more next year.
no you don't
Your videos reminds me why I love this shoe silhouette. Elite work. Extremely satisfying.
There is dedication & love in his work. When one loves what they do, skill will follow.
this is honestly some master craftsmanship with the level of precision you put in. better than many cobblers are capable of.
Oh please 🙄

I gotta say I find a lot of appreciation on your respect for the original material. This is master class restoration.
Wow! Pretty damn cool to see this kind of restoration! You get to see the ton of work that goes into this!!! Truly an Artform!
Bro continues to press the bar on quality and design love to see it continued success
Real craftsmanship, looks absolutely stunning!!
The only thing I personally would’ve done, was slightly staining the new shoe tongues.
Keep uo the good work 🙌🏼🙌🏼
looking back I agree

Glad you’re uploading king. Your AJ1s are still top 1.
This is actually one of the legit restoration videos props to you bro

well come back!! you are amazing and great AJ1 purple shoes
The time and effort is phenomenal, your channel is absolutely going to blow up 👌🏾
This is not a restoration, this is art!
Absolutely amazing, probably gonna watch this about 10 more times
The aged theme is spot on. That was incredible
This is an amazing restoration. The quality of the finish is amazing.
The screen print of the air jordan wing logo is the most satisfying part
Staining outsole glue with coffee was genius,I’ll definitely remember that trick Thank you!.
You are born to do this bro. Keep doing sneakers restoration. We need more Sneakers Head. 🔥🔥🔥
That’s amazing work. Been watching for a while. Definitely stands out for the quality and knowledge
Glad to see you back posting again keep it up hope to see more
Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic
LETS GO MAXIO IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER❤️
what a incredible hands of work! with no music, I'll be able to sit my ass down, patiently waiting every step with my soda and chips. I love it 🫶🏽❤
just found your channel and binged it.. hope you the best.. i hope you make more like this you are on a different level master ,,,
Most fire video I’ve seen all week!! I’m calling these joints the metallic purple lost and found 1
That is insane.... some serious level of craftsmanship there.
great work! truly amazing how these shoes came back to life
I liked the rugged f-ed up look and how you matched it with the intentional cracking texture on the purple swoosh and other purple parts.
What a beautiful shoe great restoration video
love all the hard work you put into each pair
Absolutely amazing. Literally was shaking my head while watching.
Ultimate shoe repairs!! I've never seen anything so badly damaged be repaired 🧐🤯
These came out better then the orange 85 he first did , he is a very detailed and intelligent restoration. Dope vid !
The 🐐 is back!!!!
The craftsman is back 🤌🏽🙏🏽
I loved watching your swoosh and tongue methods on this one Max! Incredible work
Also the care with which you deconstructed and were preserving where possible and analysing each piece
Watching this inspired me to finally replace the foam inside my 2004 Puerto Rico Air Force 1s
This is a masterpiece, it belongs to a museum! Really!
I'm curious to ask you one thing, if obviously you can tell me: what is the name of the font used for the inside sizing (when you used screen printing)? I would love to put that little detail in my j1's, i really hope you can help me.
Have a good day!
thank you! The typeface is Helvetica bold (and slightly adjusted the kerning)

this Jordan 1 restore version give me the A MA Maniere vibe no cap
Loving the excellent attention to detail wit how you retained the past life of these trainers and brilliant. Print work with the silk screening ❤
This person is a true shoe Smith person now this is the kind of people I like to be familiar with I got shoes I like to restore quality of workmanship
Maestro de la restauración. La mejor que he visto en mi vida.
There was something therapeutic about this. Goated 👊
That was a super-human effort and it has a truly restored aesthetic. I have a pair of 4's I refuse to toss always thought of doing something with them to clean them up but this has shown me the error of my ways lol.
I'm honestly amazed. So well done.
So much patience and skill , wow. Truly impressive
Hey max, what spray adhesive are you using?
Wow! Amazing.
I feel like this is this metallic purple might be inspiration for the AMM 1s after seeing this.
Incredible work! So cool to see those babies resurrected!
With how gone these were, I didn't think it would be possible. WORLD LEVEL TALENT and craftsmanship. How would these shoes be classified? Custom Remade?

haha thanks my guy !
Amazing work, just a genuine question, why not oil/recondition the leather? I imagine it would make it last longer and be easier to work with, especially with the leather being an old, dry and cracked chrome tan like that?
Oh I conditioned the hell outta each piece when it was all broken down. Both minkoil and some leather conditioning cream. Def can’t forget that step.
This is like the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I'm really relaxed while watching this masterpiece..
These were my first pair of Air Jordans back in 1985, great job
I wonder why you didn't keep the last in for the resoling process?
This was great. I don’t know much about shoes but impressive work.
Are these expensive or is it a sentimental value that would make someone restore them?
They’re original 85 Jordan’s. Definitely worth restoring considering how difficult it would be to get your hands on a pair in good condition. Definitely worth a pretty penny
Excellent work! You would never know it was the same shoes.
Mamaaaaaa the work ! Inestimable value now 🤩
bro needs more exposure! This is too good
The editing and detail with your work is very cool. Thanks for the break down on how you did it!
Extremely talented and underrated channel, subbed.
Great work!!! Can I ask what kind of sewing machine are you using???
Do you pretty much save what you can and replace the rest with new material?
Does the metallic purple make them more valuable? If I was going to go to such lengths I would have replaced the metallic purple with black leather. You know the plastic purple cloth will be the first part to fail, even though the leather is from 1985.
Hello brother this is amazing... We're glad for your come back... I have a question... How did you punch the swosh before the stitching? Thank you!
used my sewing machine, without thread
These look vintage 🔥
What? Not even 5k views? The time and dedication it takes is just crazy. Hope you can at least profit a bit off it
Extremely talented and dedicated 🤩
I’d like to see someone this good restore a shoe and then see if they would pass as legit at sneaker convention
Dude I loved every minute of this!!!
Two things though, first what metallic material was used? Second what was the purpose of using three different pieces for the underlay of the collar instead of one full piece underneath?
Great question! the metallic is a vinyl sheet from Etsy (very hard to find the right shade) and the reason why I pieced the collar into 3 parts is because I simply didn't have enough metallic material to make a single cut.
is that stuff white adhesive fabric your ironing on is that Heat N Bond..?
Killed it!

Did you consider redyeing the white leather parts?
This is depressing because it's so good and I know I'll never be able to do that. Amazing work as always!
Never give up
Awesome job bro you deserve a medal for that!
Best restoration skill ever
Have you ever fixed a moonboots sole before? Any tips?
You are the goat when it comes to restoring shoes. Glad you back my man!
Man i love your content i hope to see more of it for real
You are a master of your craft ❤These Jordan’s came out the year I was born. (Love the 1985 Casio watch) looks like the “Data Bank” model? 👌🏼
Hi, I love your video!
can you give me the reference of the liner you are using please
2way stretch knit interlock polyester (sewn with the majority of stretch going horizontally)
