- This project WAS incredible.... Until we lost the footage, but don't worry Vick took care of that and today we get to present one of the most incredible restorations turned customs one year later with our friend @Flippinkickz ! In today's episode of Restoration and Customs with Vick Almighty and Alex we had to turned a 1985 Chicago Jordan 1 into the Unicorn colorway the 1985 Black Toes. The 85 Black Toes are iconic to say the least and that colorway continues to be one of the most sought after releases of all time.. Plus they are reimagining in 2024, but that's a story for another time! Will you pick up the Black Toe Reimagined release?!
Back to the restoration job! First the sneaker had to be deconstructed to make them wearable again. This took a lot of dremeling and sanding to make it the sole swap easy. Another way to make these wearable was to readd the lining and padding to make the sneaker comfortable. When we first got these 85 Jordan 1's they were trashed with a lot of decaying material and a lot of crumbling. Once the upper was prepper it was time to move onto the donor.
For the donor sole we took apart a good shoe, but it was for a great cause! Alex and Vick had to deconstruct the donor sneaker using acetone and some force. However, they were looking way to brand new to go on the 37 year old base! To age these and make it match the 1985 release we needed to let them soak in some Folgers coffee to take on an aged stain.
With the donor and upper taken care of it was time to move to the next step. We had to sew on the tongue tags for a little bit of detail before adding the new donor sole on the upper. In this video Alex is dropping restoration knowledge left and right... Are you listening?!
Once the shoe was put together we had to wipe them down using some Reshoevn8r Sneaker Wipes to make sure all the dust and grime from the last 37 years was removed. When cleaning 85's you have to be incredibly delicate! Last step of the restoration side was to remove the nasty creasing using the iron method.
Now the fun happens... The custom! We had to repaint over the red leather with black paint to make this look like a true 1985 Black Toe Jordan 1. Last step... We need to prolong this sneaker for as long as we possibly can. To recondition the leather and make them last longer we applied RESHOEVN8R Mink Oil and let it soak into the materials. One great thing about the 1985 Jordan 1's is the quality is surprisingly top tier and the leather holds up pretty well!
There was a lot of steps and some challenges, but this custom meets restoration came out top tier! These 1985 Jordan 1's are now not only wearable, but they can last for years to come. Plus the client now gets a Black Toe Jordan 1 making it a unicorn sneaker. Stay tuned we have a couple HUGE projects coming up with @Flippinkickz himself!

For anyone questioning why they would customize the 1985 Chicago into the Blacktoe, the owner of the sneakers already has a pair of wearable 1985 Chicago and wanted the Blacktoe version. These were commissioned by a custom to do this exact custom. We appreciate all the feedback!
wow. what a custom... great job guys
Flippin Kickz is an artisan for sure!
Yes he is! Thanks for watching.
I don't know man, that was a perfect chicago...
It was
Black Toe supremacy >>>
Now they are perfect black toes 🖤🤍❤️

I can tell Vick was really happy with this restoration. Good job guys! Those look beautiful!
Yooo these joints fire 🔥
Pretty dope I’d say 👌🏾great job
Glad you like it!
Been waiting for this vid!!
365 days later...
I really like em'
I hope JB gives us at least some halfway white tongue's on the Black Toe Reimagined to come, the white tongue and black Nike Air really does it for me on that colourway
Turn the Jordan 4 bred to the Jordan 4 reimagined next 😂
2 of the goats 🐐 🔥
Thank you!
Best in the game
We appreciate you
정말멋진슈즈입니다
🔥🔥🔥
I made Jordan 3 Bred custom using Cyber Monday 3s and tried to duplicate the Bred 4s as much as possible ❤
Vick you magnificent wizard you!
There is no one like him!
최고의 품질 = The highest quality
damn editor just dropped the bag for an amazing video
😢
That lil iron 😂
He loves that thing
You guys need to OPEN a STORE here in LA. The Grand Meca of shoes. BIG LA
That guy looks super happy to be there 😂
It was a long week!
I’m just a depressed looking person I guess bc I was having a blast 💥
Vic, you're getting on in years. Hate the fact that I'm just a year younger than you
Vick grew up in front of our eyes at Reshoevn8r!
i got a pair of 85 that i would like restored to be able to wear!! What a great resto/mod
Thank you!
Bro sounds like Bill Belichick lol
Great video ! I don't understand why do people complain so much? who cares if it lowers their value! who said that you should always try to make a maximum profit on each pair of vintage Jordans.
Literalmente lost & found
I was given some dried cleaning wipes as my first experience getting from reshoevenator... happened yrs ago!...The blk toe doesn't do much for the shoe
We are very sorry to hear you had a negative experience in the past; we hope you give our products another chance.
Did those reverse bred university reds dirty
Great custom overall, it's sick seeing OG 85s brought back to life. With that being said, the only thing that bothers me is the midsole in the back by the heel doesn't look right, it sticks out a bit too much if you look at the side view at 12:01 in comparison to my 85 highs. If there was a way to flatten that out a bit, these would be perfect.
Black toe>chicago any day!
Love it where did you guys source the donor insoles ? Do you all ever donate shoes afterwards?
They came out of the donor we took the sole off and then we use the rest of the shoe for parts later.
Gang
We appreciate you!
would you guys recommend using airship soles? i know the reverse bred 85s are higher in cost for a donor so would airships fit
Bottom is different unfortunately
Not a fan of the black toes but that was still a dope restoration. 😎
Why does Vick always talk like he’s holding spit in his mouth? Lol
😮
Bro got fired haha
👀
Some of y’all need to understand that this pair was beat and probably bought for cheap. If it was near deadstock or lightly used, then sure, this wouldn’t make sense financially.
Also, they can always be reverted back to Chicagos. It’s not the end of the world.
Thank you!
I tried unyellowing the Jordan 6 chameleons like you did with sole revive but the soles became completely milky. Is there anyway to reverse this or did the sole revive actually remove the iridescent finish on the outsoles?
Y’all complain too much. This was genuinely one of if not the best restoration/customs on this platform. Stop bitchin
Thank you!
Alex is the best
He is!
Really great restoration gang
Aint no way bros used varsity reds (1000$ shoe) for the donors
Do you think the krylon finisher holds up better than an angelus or LK finisher?
I think so
top
Sorry for the ignorance, but what’s the name of the donor shoes?? Alternate Breds?? (New to the sneaker game)
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🥵🥵🥵
We would have to agree
I got a pair of 72-10 that I wanna do a black mid and red bottom any ideas on where to start?
We can ask Vick his thoughts!
Alright I’ll be the one to say it…didn’t the OG 85s black toes come with a black tongue???
Only the PE, retail version was white tongue
@@ryanmmadden nice!!
Do you know how I can fix the 23 on some gamma 11s
Can you send us some images?
@@RESHOEVN8R some of it is seperating as well should I reglue where it seperating or should I remove the whole thing and reglue all of it
Can you repaint my toro 4s
The Air Jordan 1 1985 Black toe shoe tongue is actually black
Only on the PE version. Not regular release
Anyone here got the actual black toe 85s?
Stay tuned for Vicks video in 3 weeks. It's the first ever 1985 Blacktoe restoration on UA-cam!
so you ruin a pair of OG 85 chicago´s to get black toes?
Man restore some 23’s , restore some 16’s, 15’s, 21’s etc etc. The retro 1 has been literally been exhausted at this point.
Those are a little harder! But we can talk to Vick about it
A classic like that never gets tierd imo
Same old same ol!!! Smh tired of these same shoes on YT this all we see do a Tim duncan silver bullet, air bakin, blk jordan 16!!!!!! 🤦♂️🤷♂️ but what do I kno your still the goat of customizing and restoration on YT!
We can look into those for sure.
Y’all really did ruin them should have just restored them and saved this custom for a lost and found.
We turned a Lost and Found into a Black Toe once too
Why would you take those and make them something they're not.....
oh oh oh! I got it I got it!
It their pair so they can do whatever the fuck they want and it's none of your business??
To make it different.
i get it, but why do it to an OG? do it to a vintage pair, but to ruin an og pair and make it something it will never be, is a shame@@leioh816
2 things wrong, one destroying a 85 to make it , and 2 using the reverse breds knowing damn well there's only 23k in existence... Not like a GR metallic red hi 85 coming out with the same sole color...
Oh my why would you do that to Chicago’s 😂
Major downgrade imo, don’t do this to 85 Chicagos 🤦♂
Chicagos are better than Black Toes?
@@RESHOEVN8R100%
Loved the video until I saw them doing a black toe. I agree...should've just restored to Chicagos.
Chicago are definitely 💯 better then black toes, Chicagos are a classic
85 black toes are more rare
I’m sorry but there’s no value on trying to save 1985 sneakers. Ya stuck in the past and get let go of it.
clearly there’s value. is it stuck in the past that one might prefer older cars over modern ones?
Lol you don't know anything about sneakers if u claim sneakers from 1985 arent worth saving😂
I mean that's true!
@@RESHOEVN8R gotta love the haters
@@vietnguyen2293 car and sneaker is different my guy definitely can’t compare
🔥🔥🔥
