Restoring the Dirtiest $1000 Jordan Bling 4's
Ойын-сауық
I a lot of work went into restoring this pair of Air Jordan Bling 4's from 2000. I tried different shoe cleaners. I used Just 4 Kicks sneaker cleaner and Fz 150 from shoe doc. They both did very well to clean the shoes. These needed a new midsole and a very deep clean. I unyellowed the soles and did a sole swap.

I use FZ150 a lot and it works really good! I’ve been using it wrong when I got it, but to have a lot of foam you should dip your brush in water and pump a little bit of foam in the water.
Finally someone show how hard 4s is to make a soleswap, that polyurethane midsole job is the most time consuming process, I exactly know it's not easy to make it clean, I recently fully restored fire red mars 4s so I have a lot appreciaton on your job John, take care, upload more videos, there is a lot fans of your content right here!
the combination of your music choices and your delivery is very peaceful. i should be asleep rn but I'm too into this 😂
You should try an electric rotary shoe polish brush for the insoles/liner, it does an amazing job of getting the deep trapped in dirt and working up a crazy strong lather. It's improved my cleaning time 5 fold and does a way better job than by hand.

Thanks for the tip!
Awesome vid man for some reasons its hard for me to get in to restoring shoe videos but this one i watched from beginning to end 🎉
Literally doing a full restore and sole swap on a pair of these right now. People sleep on this model, such a clean shoe
Bro this is exactly how I do my outsole removal. People don't realize how HARD it is to remove the outsoles. Also I just did a pair of these 4s and they were so damn hard to completely line up due to the grey parts on the toe poking out.
Those Jordan 4s you used as donors were 2019 Jordan 4 fiba. Enjoyed the bid as always. GOD bless

Whats up john.. Love your videos, what type of gloves do you use?
This is hella interesting. No one can afford new shoes anymore so this is a skill we all need.. trying to save my white platform sneakers rn
Yo John! I'm a fellow Filipino here (or at least I assume you're half or something lol) I just wanna let you know I'm a huge fan of what you're doing to these sneakers man, great content! I also just wanna know where your place is at here or province, and what are your alternative Filipino products for most of your sneaker cleaning, hopefully something budget friendly lol. Keep it up OG and kumpare!

Kamusta, I don’t know what kind of products there are in the Philippines or what they sell at SM. If there’s a footlocker and they sell cleaning products I would start there. That’s what I used when I first started and they worked good
Much love and appreciation as always!
You should find a method to whiten the edges of the leather (like on the toebox). I think there is some dye or paint that is meant for that

Btw, if you get the opportunity to work on another pair of these, make sure to get a midsole donor with silvery chrome colored columns inside of the air unit instead of white. The closest midsole to the color of original is the Jordan 4 Anniversary Laser from 2015. But thats if you want to make it super precise and close to the original from 2000.

Now we talkin wit the foam
When you see the foam your in the zone !!!
My only pair of Jordans, they are the bred toe lows and they ripped on the toe box what makes me sad because they are my only good shoes😭
Shoe Doc has a good shoe cleaner
How did the outsole have barely any heel drag
There’s a pen to fix white stitching… seen Vick and Doc use it
Fz150 from the shoe doc is the best shoe cleaner in America okay
As a restorer I can say almost any cleaner can clean leather, I’d like to see you test FZ-150 on suede

Wouldn’t it be easier to use a pair of Pure Money 4’s as donors? I came up on a pair a few months ago and I thought of using those for a sole swap. Side note: It seems that most Jordans made on/after 2016 are harder to separate; the glue that’s used is pretty strong, plus the additional stitching on some shoes (upper to midsole) makes it a challenge. It sucks because pre-2016 J’s, despite being easier to separate, are more likely to crumble down the road.

It’s important to know how well the donors were kept. I still have my 2012 donors firm and strong. Aren’t the pure moneys going for $500+? Even if you buy a used pair, you’re still looking at $200+ for a decent sole to work with. The unpopular models aren’t as over inflated in price. I would only use a pure money donor if the outsole of my bling 4s are shot. I prefer to use the original outsole on the shoes I’m swapping with

You should be okay. I don’t recommend putting shoes in water unless they are completely soiled. Leaving shoes in water will remove the natural oils of the leather. It’s important to recondition the leather afterwards if you do.
let's see a Shaq Ice Retro and a Jordan 11 mash-up.
Please do a restoration of wings and backtabs like on cool grey 4s, how theyll be cracked would nice to know how to fix. and does dying pu foam work?
@johnandrew00
11 ай бұрын
If it’s cracked, that can’t be repaired to its original state. You can fix it by removing the dried durabuck and paint match the suede but it’ll never have the same look and feel. You can dye polyurethane into a darker color. But not a lighter color if it’s a dark pu
