- I’m Back!
Here’s a full start to finish ASMR version of a commission for Foxtrot Uniform - Reconstructing an original pair of ’85 Metallic Blues and reconstructing them into the ultra rare Metallic Purple color-way.
Cleaning and conditioning the leather while maintaining the 37 year “patina”. I replaced old liners, foam, collars, swooshes and tongue. I was unable to reuse the original tongues and collar liners because of wear, as originally planned. These are refitted with the 2021 Jordan Court Purple outsoles that have been dyed in coffee, as well as the original thread, which has been waxed as well.
Purchase the scans of the deconstructed shoe here! (you can also find my patterns on my website as well)

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.
@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
facts @@Rogue328
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.
I completely agree, adding a few original pieces to a new shoe does not make the shoe authentic.
Had to go in the same stitch holes. best restoration person out there bar none!!!!
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 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
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.
The screen print of the air jordan wing logo is the most satisfying part
There is dedication & love in his work. When one loves what they do, skill will follow.
I gotta say I find a lot of appreciation on your respect for the original material. This is master class restoration.
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 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 👏
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!
This is actually one of the legit restoration videos props to you bro
this is honestly some master craftsmanship with the level of precision you put in. better than many cobblers are capable of.
Oh please 🙄
Glad you’re uploading king. Your AJ1s are still top 1.
Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic
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.
You are born to do this bro. Keep doing sneakers restoration. We need more Sneakers Head. 🔥🔥🔥
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 👌🏾
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 🫶🏽❤
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
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!
The aged theme is spot on. That was incredible
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
Staining outsole glue with coffee was genius,I’ll definitely remember that trick Thank you!.
Bro continues to press the bar on quality and design love to see it continued success
That is insane.... some serious level of craftsmanship there.
Absolutely amazing, probably gonna watch this about 10 more times
This is an amazing restoration. The quality of the finish is amazing.
Glad to see you back posting again keep it up hope to see more
Ultimate shoe repairs!! I've never seen anything so badly damaged be repaired 🧐🤯
What a beautiful shoe great restoration video
Most fire video I’ve seen all week!! I’m calling these joints the metallic purple lost and found 1
That’s amazing work. Been watching for a while. Definitely stands out for the quality and knowledge
LETS GO MAXIO IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER❤️
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 ,,,
great work! truly amazing how these shoes came back to life
The craftsman is back 🤌🏽🙏🏽
this Jordan 1 restore version give me the A MA Maniere vibe no cap
Absolutely amazing. Literally was shaking my head while watching.
Watching this inspired me to finally replace the foam inside my 2004 Puerto Rico Air Force 1s
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.
love all the hard work you put into each pair
These came out better then the orange 85 he first did , he is a very detailed and intelligent restoration. Dope vid !
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
This is not a restoration, this is art!
Loving the excellent attention to detail wit how you retained the past life of these trainers and brilliant. Print work with the silk screening ❤
Excellent work! You would never know it was the same shoes.
The 🐐 is back!!!!
The restoration is not even the Amazing part. It’s the fact that he’s making them wearable again. Not too sure if people know but bro wears his restorations. And this being an 85 1, that’s what makes this god tier
These were my first pair of Air Jordans back in 1985, great job
This guy is a mad scientist. I thought, " no way is that pile of rubble gonna become shoes again", sure enough, it did. Holy S. Well done, I mean seriously.
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?
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
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.
So much patience and skill , wow. Truly impressive
There was something therapeutic about this. Goated 👊
These look vintage 🔥
Seeing the final product made me as happy as if I was the one who did it
Incredible work! So cool to see those babies resurrected!
I'm honestly amazed. So well done.
I'm really relaxed while watching this masterpiece..
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!
haha thanks my guy !
Mamaaaaaa the work ! Inestimable value now 🤩
Wow! Amazing.
I feel like this is this metallic purple might be inspiration for the AMM 1s after seeing this.
I’d like to see someone this good restore a shoe and then see if they would pass as legit at sneaker convention

Todo un maestro.en la restauración.

Maestro de la restauración. La mejor que he visto en mi vida.
The editing and detail with your work is very cool. Thanks for the break down on how you did it!
What? Not even 5k views? The time and dedication it takes is just crazy. Hope you can at least profit a bit off it
Absolutely missed you king. Your vids always bring me joy and I hope I can do the same
This is like the coolest thing I've ever seen.
I can't deny that this is interesting, but HOLY CHIT the lengths people will go for vintage Jordans is INSANE.
Extremely talented and underrated channel, subbed.
52:56- And, back to life!
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Craftsmanship as an art form. Truly inspiring 👏👏👏👏👏
This whole sneaker business is bunkers, but I can't help watching these restoration videos. Kudos! 😊
Extremely talented and dedicated 🤩
Wow, great attention to detail!
imagine spending so much time restoring these j's 🙄🙄could've just hit em with the ol' FZ150 and do the trick!
Lost my dead stock lost and founds when I moved and I been dreaming about them since. I could just buy them but resell is unmatched these days a 10.5 would be so clutch thanks Vic
Awesome job bro you deserve a medal for that!
Sei un grande maestro artigiano e i tuoi video sono una goduria per gli occhi , grazie per aver condiviso.
New Maxio LFGGGGGG
Cool to see you back.
Those wood chipper 3’s were 🔥🔥🔥 😢
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
Man i love your content i hope to see more of it for real
Best restoration skill ever
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. 🤞
He made removed it but made it look brand new
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.
Assumed you were a huge TH-camr because the production quality super impressive👍
You have potential bro nice really good working 👌👏
This is so relaxing 💆
