The SB Jordan 4 Pine Green was voted as the number one sneaker release of 2023, but this pair needed a little help. Before you say it… Yes they just released! After a 30 day wear test, going through the RESHOEVN8R dirtying process and enduring a little bit of scuffing, there was only one person for the job… Vick Almighty. In today’s episode of Customs and Restorations with Vick, we walk you through how to restore the SB Jordan 4. Now you will know how to fix the problem if it happens to your pair.

For the first step of this restoration we had to do a cleaning, using the RESHOEVN8R Signature Kit. Although this sneaker had already been cleaned once, they got beat up again and the only way to start a restoration is with a clean surface. As always the first step is to remove the laces and the insole to allow yourself the deepest clean possible. After that was complete we went to Vick’s favorite tool, the air compressor. Now the air compressor is an extra step.. Don’t panic if you don’t have one! Once the surface dirt was blown off of the sneaker is was time to move over to scrubbing the sneaker using all 3 brushes.

One tip when cleaning Jordan 4s is to make sure you always move the wings, pull back the backtabs and really make sure to give your sneakers a deep clean. The Soft Bristle Brush is perfect on the uppers and insides of the sneakers. it creates bubbles and breaks down the surface dirt prior to moving over to the Medium Bristle Brush. The Medium Bristle Brush is great for cleaning midsoles and tougher stains on leather and rubber. The Brush is more stiff than the Soft Brush, but still delicate enough to take on other materials.

One extra step is to take care of the insole to remove that daily smell, bacteria and whatever else might be on the inside of your kicks. The Soft Bristle Brush works best for that and the laces , because it is so delicate. Finally after all those details were taken care of it was time to move to the grossest part of the sneaker.. The outsole. The outsole is the place to collect dirt, grime, gum, bacteria and who knows what else comes from out there. To take care of that we ALWAYS rely on the Stiff Bristle Brush.

After the pretreatment was complete it was time for the washing machine, it really cleans out the stitching to bring them back to white. Once they air dried we noticed a little bit of crunchy suede, which we repaired with the Brass Bristle Brush.

Once the surface was cleaned we moved over to the restoration. Of course first step… Prep work, also known as the most important part of a restoration. We started with sanding and taping to prep the area. Once prep is complete it is all about color matching before airbrushing the paint on. If the paint job is rough, one way to repair it is by sanding it down and applying another coat prior to adding some matte finish.

The midsole was the main test. It came with a lot of testing and matching, but Vick got it! After the prep was complete it was best to use an airbrush to apply this paint and just like that, we are all wrapped up with the restoration.

This was a quick and easy restoration, but it was well worth it. Thanks @WinonaKicks for the sneakers!
