Man tell me about it…my 2016 pair came and definitely noticed the quality. Shoe was pre creased in some areas and then the paint job was sloppy af. They good n yellow now and some paint is chipping away so hopefully I can cop the release next summer.
man, so many nuances and random tidbits that I pick up every time I watch your videos. even if I'm not working on that particular shoe, I always pick up a technique I can apply elsewhere. These are truly unwearable though? what do you believe will happen to the leather after a few wears?
I’ve been using that Oxyclean powder and UV light on fabric/mesh for years. It’s a game changer, makes you look like a magician to those who don’t know. FYI I emailed you about some classic greens last week. Hope you see it 🙏🏼
honestly since those FIBA Jordan 4s are so cheap I'd love to see a custom where you remove those rubber pieces where the netting is supposed to go and replace it with the proper netting and do the netting that dark blue so it matches the rest of the blue on the sneaker.
if youre struggling with dirt in your paint finish you should invest in some tack rags. A quick wipe over before you paint catches small particles like dust.
how’s the mesh on the 1999 white cement jordan 4 still white mean while the 2016 white cement Jordan 4s is yellowing…I noticed this with my 2016 white cement 4s and all the newer pairs with white mesh netting
Surprised the netting isn't cracking/yellowed. You sure they 99? Lol. 30% hydrogen peroxide works for sock liners and netting? I see it for sale from labs and such. You don't need special credentials to purchase them? I actually bought barge thinner to thin out my barge cement. Acetone works too? I'm even more shocked that the back tab and wings aren't brittle. Thats crazy. Oldest shoe i've restored is an 01. I do shoes mainly in NY/NJ.
Seems he isn't wrong. He was making an obvious dig at fake restoration channels that all do this exact thing, they bury the stuff they plan on restoring and dig it up for the video to make the transformation more dramatic. Him burying shoes makes that joke all the more obvious.
Would anybody else just have started by placing each shoe in a pillow case and then cleaned them in the washing machine? What's the worst that could happen?
Im a new subscriber and love what you do and i would love to learn how to do this one day i would love to enter your giveaway but dont have Instagram but if i dont win its cool ill still watch your channel great job john.
Obviously. The “I had a feeling and started digging for 30 minutes” while finding a rare pair of sneakers right together hidden just a foot under the sand doesn’t pass the common sense test. Just don’t get why these guys gotta lie about stupid stuff, they could just make the restoration and leave out the fake shit.
Why do you keep saying that the leather is synthetic? It's real leather on these pairs. I have them sitting next to me. Now, the material on TOP of the leather is just a polyurethane coating, but that's it.
Always love seeing the meticulous detail you take in prepping the shoes, reminds me of when I was doing model making back in school! Appreciate the videos always!!! ramon_ricafort_3 US M 11.5
12.5 @kingjesty3 I really love these videos because the amount of knowledge that goes into what is best to do each part of the process is really just mind blowing.
Great job with the kicks, but I have a question... What do you do with the rest of the donors? Even if i dont win (Size 11M, @curly.oprince) id still like a chance to win some donors or beaters :)

"I wonder what's under this definitely untouched soil? Oh look!! A pair of rare sneakers! What are the chances?!" 😂😂
Yes. A little unbelievable John . Just keep it real . You are more than good enough for that.
Laughed my ass of when i heard his story...😂
This has the feel of those fake restoration channels, go out to a random junk or dirt pile, and dig up something valuable covered in dirt.
Yes, so fake.
The restorations are not fake tho
the wire mesh stayed white after 20+ years..... meanwhile the 2016 pair mesh gets yellowed after a handful of wears. crazy how cheap quality 2016 are.
Thats true
Thats why I never bothered to go back and get a pair now
depends how humid your environment is. My 2016s are ice white through out and ive worn them a handfull of times
my 2016 mesh crumbled and i had 2 replace em

Satisfying 😛
🔥🔥🔥 What paints or paint did you use for the grey midsole ??
@@BCJ3030 nah Angelus white cement is from 2012… 2012 and 2016 releases have different tones of grey. Ones dark and one is light
What size thread do you use for the toe cap stitching?
Always be great 💪🏾
Do you have a cricut template for the air units?
i have an og space jam 9 but the sole has crumbled and i need a tuturial
hey bro how to thin again the glue that are thick inside bottle? can i steam it or what?
you can heat it up or mix it with acetone. I do both
i've never tried to steam it before so idk how well itll work
thanks for the tips bro 🤙
*SUPER 🔥❤️*
You think we all are idiots! First you bury those snickers, then like, oh look very rare jordans, what a surprice..! Very convincing!!!

Same size donors for 99s? I literally just bought a pair today. Had to go half size down for my 89s.
Curious why you reuse outsoles that have so much drag/wear?
The Larry June tshirt 🤌🏾 🔥
cultured
WHY THE FIBASSSS 😭😭😭😭😭 they so beautiful and they just getting thrown away
Agreed bro, I own a pair and seeing them get used for donors was a little hard to watch ngl.
Use a soft medium brush to brake up the dirt next time
i used that cck it smelled like Pepto Bismol and didn't work fork for me it actually blew up inside the bottle it came in
plls do a sole swap on jordan 9s
🔥🔥
I want to know where tf bro is just coming across these shoes outta nowhere
He’s part Irish
How do i send you shoes for a re sole??!!
Were u trolling about the toaster oven and if not can u use air fryer on bake as substitute 😂?
Are you using vinyl glue?
How much are these shoes worth? How much did you spend on product and supplies? Is it really worth going thorough this trouble???
W video
Can u fix them
Oh wow 😳😳😳
This dude puts more effort getting them dirty than cleaning them
Will it pass the smell check? 😂😂
How much would something like this cost??
Size 13 Anakinthechosen1 great vid!! Love the process
We quick
you have a channel restoring shoes and you just happen to be digging around and fine rare vintage shoes in some random mud spot.
ok
If you've been watching for years like the rest of us, you would know it's just a joke.

You buried them days before and went back to get them or what? Lol
