The Rookie Of The Year Air Jordan 1 has been on the list of restorations for a while, so when we received a badly damage pair into our Drop Off Cleaning Service it was a must to restore these. In today's episode of Customs and Restorations with Vick Almighty I will show you how to repair damaged suede, remove watermarking, oxidation and more.
From the looks of these kicks they were cleaned previously and let's just say they weren't cleaned properly. This clean resulted in water damage, damaged suede... Or it could be even worse and it was NEVER cleaned, but the water marking we see is sweat 🤮 Who knows what happened in these sneakers?!
As always we had to start with a full deep clean to really remove all of the grime, hair and whatever else might be within these grimy sneakers. This started with the classic pretreatment using RESHOEVN8R'S all natural solution and 3 different brush options, but we all knew these shoes would need the wash for a proper deep clean. After the washing machine the sneaker looked a lot better, but the shape of the sneaker was still really off. Therefore we needed to restructure the sneaker using Microfiber Towels and Shoe Trees.
Once the sneaker was clean, reshaped and the suede was repaired it was time to move to the next step. We had to remove the oxidation from the rubber outsoles with RESHOEVN8R Sole Revive and the Vick 2000 (also known as 4500W of UV rays). When removing the yellowing from rubber outsoles/ midsoles you won't need a ton of time; often the yellowing can be removed in just a couple of hours.
Now we move onto the details. These sneakers were badly scuffed and scratched, so we had to do a complete tape job to ensure we only painted the leather materials. We repaired the scuffs on the white leather with a mix of a couple different paint colors to get the perfect match.
Since these sneakers were so beat, we had to do a couple extra steps. The sneaker got extremely faded due to the washing machine and an insane amount of year, so we had to try a couple different products, but ultimately the color was not coming back. We had to redye the sneaker to get a perfect vibe. This took some Google images and a mix of a couple different paints, but overall I'd say this looks like a brand new sneaker.
Send your shoes to our Drop Off Cleaning Service at reshoevn8r.com and who knows you might be upgraded to a restoration by Vick too!
When you first saw this sneaker were you confident that it would clean up?!
