Now these were COOKED ????????
These Anniversary Air Jordan 11s were in desperate need of a clean, reglue and so much more. Vick Almighty picked these up on eBay after seeing the poor shape that they were in and took on the challenge to bring them back to their beautiful shine! In today’s Customs and Restorations with Vick we will walk you through a full restoration on the iconic Air Jordan 11.
First we had to take care of the cleaning portion using RESHOEVN8R! These were a 2010 release and it looks like they have been collecting grime for the last 13 years. The Signature Cleaning Kit was going to be one of the biggest components of this entire cleaning. The 3 brush pack and natural Solution was used to break down all of the dirt and grime on the white mesh and patent leather. Once the pre-treatment was done we needed to throw it in the washing machine. The washing machine is really key for cleaning mesh sneakers ESPECIALLY white kicks! Don’t be afraid to wash your sneakers… Vick said you could!
After the cleaning was complete it was time to unyellow the sneakers. The icy bottoms on the Jordan 11s are known for yellowing, but it is reversible. All you need is a little bit of Sole Revive and 4500W of UV rays.
Once the shoe was clean and unyellowed they looked fantastic.. Well minus the fact that the sole was hanging on by a “thread” or a piece of glue! So now it is time to take care of that sole. We had to separate the sole completely prior to gluing the sole back together. After the sole was off you already know it was time for prep-work (AKA the most important step of a restoration!). Prep- work was finished and now comes the fun part the reglue process! This is a tricky process, but if you follow these steps you will get the perfect reglue every time.
Just like that these Anniversary AJ11’s are looking as good as they did back in 2010! Literal night and day difference. Let us know in the comments what you think about today’s total restoration on the Anniversary Air Jordan 11.
