It's 2024 and you're still sleeping on eBay pick ups?! Let this be your first or 100th sign that picking up used shoes is a game changer!
In today's episode or Restorations with Vick Almighty he takes on these trashed Tinker Air Jordan 3's that he picked up for $50 on eBay. They came in dirty, hevily worn and with some heavy oxidation. The main goal of this video is to teach you 3-4 tips and tricks to use on all of your used shoe pick ups.
First tip: ALWAYS clean your used shoes.. You never know where the previous owners feet have been. We started by breaking down the dirt and grime with the air compressor first before moving over to the 3 different brushes and all natural solution. The Soft and Medium Brush were used to tackle the uppers, insides, insoles and the midsoles. By using the brush method Vick is able to not only remove the grime, but this is the first step to disinfecting the sneaker.
Once the uppers were taken care of it was time to move onto the heavily worn outsoles using the Brass Bristle brush. This slept on product is the key for removing gunk, grime and more. However, it is also a perfect way to reset the nap on suede and nubuck sneakers that have hardened. Then we put them in our super high tech washing machine.. From the early 2000's to remove the rest of the grime and fully disinfect the sneakers. Now there was a chance of bleeding, but luckily the quality of these kicks proved us wrong.
Next step is the prep; we had to remove some deep scuffs, old paint and tape up the sneaker before we could move on. Before we could move on we had to fix the sole separation. Since these shoes are heavily worn and about 7 years old separation is bound to happen. However, it isn't the end of the world soles can be reglued!
With all that taken care of we needed to bring out another Reshoevn8r product... Sole Revive! Sole Revive is a perfect tool to remove oxidation. Vick used 3 different cycles due to multiple angels needing a little bit of attention in the Vick 2000. This box is built of over 1500W of UV rays that you can pick up on Amazon. Once that was taken care of it was time to remove the creasing using the iron method.
With all those steps out of the way it was time for a quick repaint before we could say we were fully happy with the results. Vick used Angelus paint to repaint the midsole on this Jordan 3. Plus he shared some great tips through the way... Did you watch this to learn?!
Last steps are all about the details from adding more shine to the air unit and touching up the tiniest little scuff on the uppers. Now this $50 sneaker is completely flipped and ready to sell to the next person. Stay tuned for more insane eBay restorations with Vick!
