$120 for a trashed pair of Off White Jordan 5’s…. Did Vick get completely ripped off out at Sneakercon Detroit? ????
For this restoration Vick will walk you through the best method to clean and restore a beat pair of Off White Jordan 5’s. The materials on the Off White sneakers can be some of the hardest material to clean. The rip stop material is known to absorb dirt and trap it into all of the crevices. Sometimes cleaning this material can take 2-3 washes before you get your desired results, so make sure you have some patience!
To kick off this restoration Vick headed over to our drop off cleaning service to use the air compressor to blow out the surface dirt from the tricky materials. This step helps avoid pushing anything deeper into the rip stop. Now not everyone has an air compressor, but you can also use the Soft Bristle Brush and dry brush the shoe to remove the surface dust and grime. Vick used the air compressor from the inside out to get the deepest and most effective clean.
With the air compressor out of the way it is time to move over to the fun part.. Scrubbing! Vick cleaned the Off White Jordan 5 with the Reshoevn8r Signature Shoe Cleaning Kit. This took a lot of patience and about 25 minutes to get the clean he ultimately wanted. Again Off White sneakers are some of the HARDEST to clean. Vick cleaned the uppers of the shoe twice using the Soft and Medium Brush to fully get in every layer of the material.
Vick cleaned the materials twice, but ultimately it wasn’t the results he wanted. Now keep watching for a Vick pro tip! Submerging sneakers in water may be one of the most questionable things Vick has ever done, but hey he got the results he wanted and it helped with yellowing on the uppers! Last clean… Then to the washing machine for the last step of the deep clean! We told you that you would need some patience for this restoration.
Last pro tip from Vick.. UV rays are the key to remove yellowing on upper materials such as canvas, mesh, knit or rip stop. You just need to place it in the box or in the sun and let the UV do the trick.. No solution required!
Man that was a lot of cleaning, but we finally made it to the restoration. For the first step he had to repair some sole separation using Barge Super Stick. Once the sole was secure it was time to repaint the midsole to help with the paint chipping.
Once all the cleaning, gluing and painting was complete it was time to pay attention to the details. The details do matter for restorations! Vick removed the fraying material and lint trapped in the sock liner before replacing the laces.
If you are looking to do an Off White restoration or even cleaning make sure you have the patience to do it! Don’t forget to let us know your favorite Off White sneaker in the comments.
