Welcome back to another episode of ‘Customs and Restorations’ with Vick Almighty! Today Vick will be cleaning and restoring the Air Jordan 6 ‘Gatorade’.
Usually we’d start off by removing the laces and inserting our adjustable shoe trees, but you already know that once Vick saw those yellowed soles he'd dive right in! Using our 16 ounce bottle of solution and a RESHOEVN8R brass bristle brush, Vick immediately attacked the outsoles. In most of our cleaning videos we've used the stiff bristle brush to clean the soles, but our newest brass bristle brush definitely works more efficiently!
Once the outsole was completely free of dirt, grime, and pebbles trapped between the traction grooves, Vick broke out his favorite RESHOEVN8R product - Sole Revive! A sole this old and with this much wear and tear without routine maintenance is nearly impossible to bring back to its original form, but after 5 days in the indoor setup, aka ‘The Vick 2000’, the soles were looking much nicer!
It's finally time to remove those laces and insert those adjustable shoe trees! For this cleaning Vick broke out the RESHOEVN8R Signature Kit. Vick gave the uppers a thorough pass using the soft bristle brush, then hit the midsoles and outsoles with the medium bristle. After the shoe dried, the suede on the uppers was crunchy, so the brass bristle brush, with a little help from our horse hair brush, helped reset the nap. When you're working with suede, it's important to not be too aggressive with the brass bristle brush. If you go too hard, you can permanently damage the material.
Let the restoring begin! While the shoe looked much better after cleaning, Vick noticed some deeper stains in the suede that would just not come out. Using 400 and 600 grit sandpaper, Vick was able to get those stains removed. On to the midsoles! There were some deep scratches and scuffs in the paint, so Vick again called on the sandpaper method - 600 grit, to 800 grit, to 1000 grit, and SMOOTH!
To match the the paint with the original color, Vick used a mixture of green, dark green, light green, olive, avocado, and white! Vick applied the mixture using an angler brush and a heat gun. Once the paint was fully dry he applied a finisher to help protect the paint and voila, the shoe was looking almost as good as new! The last step of this restoration process was to bring back some of that beautiful green color in the suede. Using RESHOEVN8R Mink Oil, Vick sprayed the uppers with a couple of coats and massaged it in using our horse hair brush.
