How to Restore Your Old OG Jordans
ฝัง

- Sneakers aren't made like they used to be... In today's Customs and Restorations with Vick Almighty he restores an OG Olympic Jordan 7! These Olympic Jordan 7s dropped in 1992 and are hands down one of the greatest and most iconic Jordan 7 to ever release (I mean MJ rocked them)! Pro tip... if you can pick up an OG pair of kicks for $150 just do it!
Now these were in decent condition for being older than Vick Almighty himself, but there was definitely some work to be done. The air units were crumbling, the soles needed a reglue, they needed a clean and unyellowing plus a quick repaint!
Deconstruction came first then the prep-work. Prep-work can either make or break a restoration, so this is hands down one of the most crucial part. First we had to prep the midsoles, soles and uppers using acetone and cotton balls. After the main prep was done it was time to clean the sneakers using the RESHOEVN8R Essential Kit, since these are 30 years old it is important to be super careful. Also, NEVER put OG sneakers in the washing machine.
Since it is an older sneaker, oxidation is 100% normal and it can't be prevented, but it can be removed. We used the Vick2000 which features 4500W of UV rays to remove the oxidation; we did not apply any chemicals to this shoe due to the age! While the parts were in the ice box it was time to work on the reglue and replace those crumbled air units with EVA foam.
The steps on this restoration were very minimal, but completely needed. Although these shoes were in fairly good condition they needed a little help. The midsole repaint was added to make the colors on the midsole really pop. Overall this sneaker was well worth the $150 and the restoration turned out amazing.
Do you agree with Vick; are the Olympic Jordan 7s the best 7 to ever release?

I had never seen a 7 midsole replacement before, but those Olympic 7s are beautiful OG specimens. We need a retro soon.
I’m moving to Phx just for these ppl thank god for yall
The Cleanest OG Olympic VII I Ever Seen Before I Got That Pair For Myself Just Need To Be Restored 😊
Nice!
yoooo i remember watching this videos in 6th grade bro😭 im 18 now and you still out here killin it vick
🙌
Amazing work as usual, the patience it takes to do full restores like this is very underrated. It's very easy to get frustrated and overwhelmed and just walk away from a project because of how long each step takes, but when you have the drive and vision of what they are gonna turn out like when you're done, it's definitely good motivation to keep pluggin through. 👏
Thank you for your kind words about RESHOEVN8R! We pride ourselves on providing top-notch customer service, and we're glad to know that you had a great experience with us. We hope to continue serving you in the future!

Vick what’s good with the ratio for the mid soles on the red and gold part
Omg yes finally! A pair of og jordan 7 finally restored🔥

😁
Great job on the restoration! How does the SuperStik compare to the other Barge cements? Thanks for any help 🙂
Everybody I’ve worked with all say and agree that superstik works better then the other barges and I would agree. I’ve never had issues with this stuff compared to Barge infinity
This video is gold to me to restore my Og 7 91 Bordauexs the Eva foam is key
And that is the precious thing we have heard today, Thank you so much.
Wished we could get a new retro of the 7 raptor
Recuerdo perfectamente el verano del 92 yo tenía 12 años y tenía en el armario unas air jordan 7 en color gris y burdeos!
Que buenos tiempos! 😅
Excellent job, which foam do you used?
Ayeeee good to see Mick Almighty!!!
Should he do a video?
@@RESHOEVN8R YES PLEASE!!! Would love to see him more often!
9:25 in the Jordan 12 restoration video, you said to work front to back on all shoes when it comes to the reglue but these you said back to front?
Great job Vic. Are those '92 7's for sale?
I have these to from original date very fresh,only thing is back by number cracked and need repaint ,so small ,the sneaker looks brand new
Would you consider restoring some Jordan 17 College blue. I would really like to wear them again. They have sentimental value and really like your work.

I would really want to see what the tag looks like.
Hey Vick! What's your advise to people who are starting in sneaker restoration and reselling?
Ruin your personal stuff first before you attempt taking on somebody else’s shoe. Practice and patience is all you need 👍🏽
You work wonders on these shoes! I have a concern about one of my pairs. The upper collar area on my 1994 Jordan 2 retros is drying badly on the inside (I can hear it cracking around when I apply pressure). Exterior seems fine. Anything I can do or have I ruined them? 😬😭
Hello!

@@RESHOEVN8R thank your for the reply! It won't hurt to try
Nooo you forgot to put in the “bone” piece before the Eva foam for structural support!!
Super sick! I want to restore my daughters collection but afraid of messing them up.
It is legit tricky!
@@RESHOEVN8R how much would you charge?
The All Mighty Vick brought those kicks back from the dead.,,.,.......
What he does best!
I need a sneaker restoration guy in VA

Hey Vic, what size Eva foam did you use on the shoes? Was it an 8mm or 10mm? Thank you!
Same ?
I used 10mm for both parts.
Thank you so much, bro!
Can you restore some Zoom Air Jordan Flow Shoes Midnight Navy/ Gray
Thank you for your support of the brand. We have received questions about this sneaker and we are looking to add it to our restoration/cleaning content very soon. I will make sure our content team knows this is requested!
Amazing restore, lots a detail work on 7s to get em back up to snuff. The visible midsole is actual Phylon btw and the uppers are smooth Durabuck, Not leather. That's why we usually see them crack and peel which legit leather next to never does unless it's royally abused, waterlogged, dry rotted, etc. Gotta be careful with those full synthetic OG uppers, same build as the 2004 first retros (which I need to reglue mine but they're 100% Phylon, not just the outer frame, thank God lol)
We are glad you loved it!!
so these 7s won't have an air zoom unit now? not sure how I feel about that
The retro 7s don’t have the same shape air unit anymore. The new 7s have a different shape air unit that wouldn’t fit. Plus I’m thinking about the next 20 years. Replacement air units will have the same outcome as the originals overtime. But it’s a just a personal preference. Nobody will see the “air” on the inside 😉
@@Vickalmighty I always wondered if you could pick up replacement air/zoom units. Guessing by your comment that they aren't available to anyone outside of Nike themselves (meaning you'd have to sacrifice a shoe for the air pocket)
Thanks for the reply Vic
brooooo was that your stunt double lol
That's his little brother, but it should be!
Does Vick offer this service or recommend anyone who does? I have 3 pair of OG cardinal 7s and would love to be able to wear a pair.
He doesn't and we have worked with A1 Restorations in the past
It's like triggers broom lol
I hope whoever read's this from your team would seriously consider doing a video on how to properly clean a pair of Jordan 7 Trophy Room's. As always, I love seeing videos like this. It's very informative. I love this video because of the creativity, the information, and admiration, but I feel like a video on the trophy room 7s would be a lot better for a walk through video for the community. maybe not necessarily a "restoration video," but the content for a video regarding the Jordan 7 trophy room would be very useful for people like me. That shoe specifically seems harder to clean than most other shoes because of all the suede/nubuck material. I've been a customer for over 3 years, I only use your products, and I am a subscriber that watches every single video. With that being said, I hope I am the one person who influences Vick/reshoeven8r team to do a cleaning video on the trophy room 7s. That would be amazing!
Like/Comment if you agree!
Hello Tanner,

92 7 tabs wont crack
Not enough bubbles
bro from my understanding, any normal yellowing is caused by UV light from the day to day use out in the sun. But alternatively, hydrogen peroxide with UV removes yellowing
I literally spent $100 on the website two days ago. I don’t think that my entries counted because that giveaway just recently started.
The sweepstakes started on July 5th so if you bought on the 9th then you're entered. 🙌
Great fucking job though 😎
Thank you
