@veryfewrealleft1405 I've been begging for that for years, would be great to see, mix it up since these have retrod so many times. Og gs sizes were leather as well, maybe the root of my thought..😁
Your content is refreshing as it reintroduces me to my childhood sneaker memories.🙂🙂🙂 Keep up the amazing work! The Air Jordan 6 Blk Infrared is my all-time favorite sneaker! Period!! However, it’s absolutely disgraceful & shameful that both Nike/Jordan Brand don’t utilize their resources to treat the model with RESPECT as it relates to Mike’s 1st championship run -and by remaking the product with the OG materials (for every ten year anniversary).
@mtinimamoyo1599 thanks man, I appreciate the kind words! The brand could do better. Here i am taking another step to make them closer to the og because they failed to lol.. the white edges were one thing but this is think will be a game changer for many I hope to get that nubuck finish.
From my understanding on the OGs that contrast on the heel was a flaw they couldn’t avoid, when they pressed the heel the heat made it duller and of course smoother. It was unavoidable on the OGs and the 2000 retro. But it is a beautiful defect to me.
I feel like it wasn't a defect, in a way heating pressing and condensing down that material gave it more structure around the ankle, just my 2 cents lol
Lol...Just saw your xmas 91 video....in 1990 i asked for the black metallic 5s..(more like i begged and pleaded) so xmas comes and i open the present that i was told was my "main" gift....and it was a jordan box! Open it up to find a cooked pair of my step-dads old running shoes. For YEARS afterwards he told this story to anyone that would listen, specifically about the look of utter devastation on my face when i opened the box 😅. There was also a gift certificate in there because they didnt have my size at the time and i waited unti the 6s came out and got the black infrareds which was my first pair as well.
1:20 Another great video. Wow looks 🎯 on. The playoff 8s 2023 retro did good job mimicking the 2 tone but they didn’t get the lines so I followed what you did with the eighth. They came out great.. i can’t wait for some playoff 7s
Man, I just said the same thing. JB doesn’t give us the 7z like they should cuz they’re not “big sellers”, but there are still plenty of collectors(imo) that would LOVE to have a new iteration!
@@Touch_G35 🎯 we’ve only had playoff 7s twice & once was DMP Pack other 2002. Such a beautiful shoe. Been over 2 full years since last OG 7 (Cardinals) & before that was 2015 we got Hares & Bordeaux’s. That’s 10 years. We’ve got all 4 OG 4s in that span. We’ve gotten all 4 OG 3s in that span. By the end of this year, all four OG fives . They just keep the laying we don’t get the sport blue six ever, which is a great pair. I’d love to see the OG iteration 2014 they were kind of weak. And we have never had the white infrared OG, which is crazy to me..
I was JUST doing some new years cleaning/flip on my sneakers I usually move around certain shoes to match the season and weather tone 😂 found my black 6s Nike on the back still mint I just need some nubuck/suede cleaner and I’m back bottoms still clear as well…crazy I found this video freaking algorithms man this looks amazing 😂
Amazing video! Super easy to do! Now you're just missing the high tongue custom when you cut it and stitch it a bit higher so the tongue is not pulled back like on all retros and it's perfect! I would be super interested to see how it looks like on your Black infrared ;)
@@ogorbust1697dude you should watch the reshoevn8r video with Vick Almighty from a few years ago where he basically transforms the newer carmine retros into 1991 joints. He does the tongue and everything
@ A guy named Vick Allmighty did 2 customs (1991 carmine sample with the 23 on the side and 1999 reverse black infrared) with the high tongue ajustement on the channel of reshoevn8r. We don’t really see in details how he stitches the tongue to the inner side but the result is pretty good. I was a bit lazier and to get a similar results on my 2021 6 carmine, I cut about halfway the straps inside the shoes so it stands higher when I pull the tongues up. Usually when I walk a bit it goes slightly down again but I try to stretch the tongue as much as I can and I got a pretty good looking result!
Without a doubt, maybe just wax the rest not sand.. at least we have a base to work off of now. Maybe someone else will have an updated method. At least laid the ground work 💪🏻🙌🏻
Yes dude! Actually amazed to see how close the oilskin look of og durabuck is that you got here. Very cool. Will likely increase their life span too. My 2019 nubuck have started to crack at the toe creases. LOTS of wear. That shoe goes with everything!
These look awesome, way to think out of the box. Curious if you have had any of the “glitter” or leather spew emerge from Jordan 1’s and if the conditioning techniques have fixed it.
@843daravens thanks man, I think i actually sold all that era that had the glitter effect on the 1s. When I did have them, it did wipe off easily but over time might have been another story. It was the finish they used that created it. Maybe a higher number of sandpaper, less abrasive I'd try first if you're wanting to remove that top layer. You could always start with something softer like 2k grit etc
infrared 6's are my favorite jordans. 2014's are my daily beaters trying to make them yellow. I restore them often. 2019's on ice. i also did the white edges to my 2014's. I've got high hopes, like all of us.... on a new reimagined infrared og release soon. its in their back pocket. i think we probably get white infrareds and/or sport blues before tho.
One thing I noticed about the 2019 infrareds is that smaller sizes have the contrasting heel and bigger sizes don't, think it has to do with the molding process on smaller sizes rubbing/pressing the material giving it that look
@@ogorbust1697smaller adult pairs, my size 8.5 heels are matted and shiny, my second 8.5 pair is like that on one heel too, when I see pairs on eBay size 10 or up I don't see the finish
@ogorbust1697 ok I'm going to try it out but if it doesn't work I'll be sending you a bill for wasting my time 😂😂😂 I'm playing I'm going to try it for real
@@ogorbust1697 oh I didn’t know that! I always thought it was just the heel since it looked different. Thank you for correcting me sir. Love the channel btw.
Polishing shoes lately, i would just get some saphir and conditioner some cold water and a shammy then just polish for hours....lol the shine may be off the chain
I think it would be great for them to do a reimagined black infrared six all leather it would be so good.
That would be great, infrared 6's were the first pair of Jordan's I got back in 91.
@veryfewrealleft1405 I've been begging for that for years, would be great to see, mix it up since these have retrod so many times. Og gs sizes were leather as well, maybe the root of my thought..😁
I came to the comments section to say just that 👌🏻🙌🏻
@kp7071 thanks, I'm very happy how they turned out!👊🏻👊🏻
Please no. Leather doesn’t belong on Bred 4s. And they DEFINITELY don’t belong on Infrared 6s.

@@masonmennell8514 thanks man, I'm really happy with how they turned out!
That works great. I did the same thing with my racer. Blue 5s turned out really good. Also gives it a layer of protection.👍🏽

why only the heel and not the whole sneaker
Because only the heel of the shoe had durabuck
