Revive Your Air Yeezy 1s With This Epic Restoration Tutorial!

- Throwing it back with the Yeezy Tan 1's... Now these were dropped back when Yeezy rocked with Nike and they were all the hype. Even with the change with Yeezy some people still say this sneaker is an absolute grail! However, for these they weren't wearable and were all around falling apart. Now Vick has restored these twice, but he has never seen anything like this, so he called in his friend @Flippinkickz to help him out! You have seen Alex on the channel before, but this man is a restoration mastermind and works on some of the RAREST sneakers in the game... Check him out on social media!
Back to the restoration for today's episode of Restorations with Vick Almighty he will walk you through a full restoration on the Air Yeezy 1. They need a midsole and sole swap to make these 100% wearable! As always the first step of a restoration is to deconstruct the sneaker as a whole by removing the current sole and midsole.
The sole and midsole came off fairly easy due to the years of wear and tear plus the breakdown of the materials that we had seen from the start. Once the sole was removed there was a ton of dried up glue and that 100% needed to be removed to make the reglue work. Alex took care of removing the old glue while Vick took care of the donor sole.
Alright before you come at us let's talk about the donors.... Now there are next to no options for a perfect match for the Yeezy 1. The options we do have are either the same age as the Yeezy or they have to be a replica.. We choose to go with a replica Yeezy 1 and we know "reps" they aren't authentic blah blah... We got it! However, these were a GREAT rep and the quality of them was top tier. For this step Vick had to take the midsole and sole off the upper to prepare it for the reglue. However, they still weren't ready to be glued on, because these reps were used! For this step we had to clean the entire sole using RESHOEVN8R products to make it work!
Last step for the donor was to remove the old glue. If you don't remove the old glue on sneakers or on midsoles and outsoles... They WILL NEVER work how you want them too; plus it will be sloppy! With the donors and the original uppers prepped it was time to get to the reglue portion. For this process we used Barge Super Stick to stick the midsole and outsole to the Yeezy 1 upper. Now that everything is stuck together these are looking top tier.
There was one more issue though.. There was some damage on the suede toebox, so we had to shave down the top layer of the suede to fully repair it. With just a few steps these Yeezy 1's are now among the few wearable pairs in the sneaker game.
Drop a comment and let us know what the BEST Yeezy sneaker to ever release was...

-Hay bro yo Yeezys authentic?
-50/50
😂
thank you for finally using reps as donors. it is not only a lot more cheaper for the person restoring the shoe, there are many vendors of the reps allowing you to pick from the closest match to the real pair.
to clarify, different producers of reps focus on perfecting only some aspects of of a shoe so one vendor might've perfected the color and material accuracy of the uppers of a shoe while another might've only perfected the color and stiffness of the sole of a shoe.
Thank you for your support!
@@RESHOEVN8Rhow can I have this done on my Yeezy 1 do you have contact info need sole swaps
Flippin Kickz might be able to help!
Hell yeah Vic you kill it. Homies job looked mad tidius. Keep up the good work!
We appreciate that!
Good work vick always a pleasure seeing you work 😎
Thank you!
The goat restorationist back at it 🔥
Thank you!
love the content! keep it up 🔥
i gotta do this to all my pairs soon, thanks for the tutorials
Hello, love the video. I have been looking for reps as a donor pair. Do you mind telling me where you found those reps?
Another banger video!
You already know!
Could you please link the donors somewhere? I am in desperate need of a swap myself and am very nervous to buy reps, as I've never tried that before.
I have some Jordan infrared 6’s that I would like to restore would appreciate some recommendations on where I can get them restored
I made Jordan 3 Bred custom using Cyber Monday 3s and tried to duplicate the Bred 4s as much as possible ❤
Just ordered a used pair of Air Revolutions for my swap, you think I’ll have any issues with crumbling again ? Appreciate the vid!
Let us ask Vick what he thinks.
I told my friend that if your shoe has very specific midsole/outsole like the SB Dunks mummies, then buy some reps and do a sole swap on them. Saves you a lot of money.
Facts!
Why would You do that with Mummy Dunks 😂
They have a rubber midsole bruh.
Air Force 1's, Air Jordan 1's & Nike Dunks don't crumble.
Only FOAM midsoles crumble, not rubber.
@@rawsanity27 air unit crumbles
@rawsanity27 1. The sb dunks have extremely specific midsole/outsole colors
2. They glow in the dark
3. Once they have 0 stars left and are completely cooked, you're going to have to swap them if you want to keep wearing them.
So I conclusion. If a shoe is cooked, then it doesn't matter if it's made out of foam or not. You're still have to give them a sole swap
@@EBraz mine will never have zero stars since I have tons of shoes & rarely wear them & them being glow in the dark doesn't make them crumble. Mummy Dunks will hold up for a long time.
Could you help me? I have a jordan 3 tinker air max, the gray part is almost green, what can I do?
Bro my fave Yeezy overall..can’t go wrong with what started it all..n great work guys came out immaculate 🫡🙏🏼👌🏼🔥🔥🔥
We love to hear it!
My guy created a 🔥 mongrel
Bro I would LOVE to own one of the yeezy 1s, or 2s someday...
Those reps looking kinda tasty eventhough I normally don't fuck with em lol
Right!
The damn replicas look good. Excellent work Vick.
Thank you
Hey Vic. Can you do a video on just your tools, equipment and supplies you need to be someone that does shoe repairs? Glues, brands, paints, sprays, etc. Kind of an "all you need" inventory set you need to do every job. I see you have a lint remover and tiny iron. What are those and where can I get them. Things like that. I'd love to see that video. I iron alot of toe boxes. My friends are always amazed. Be cool to see you do a tutorial on ironing toes. Love your videos man
Thank you for your support! We are looking into do this.
Where can I get the reps for the donor sole?
How do you guys recommend storing polyurethane based shoes properly? Would like to see my collection last for a long time and not crumble on me 😢 currently I have them in the OG boxes with OG shoe paper in my dark dry closet is that okay? I do wear them as well
Capsole is an awesome product for that
hi vic do you ever want to restore an airmax 90 eminems and make a video of it?
Maybe!
He said they “use the exact same materials” but they just reps.
Good thing to know… for future restorations
your point?
Vick just HAD to say “dingleberries”😂😂
Only Vick!
Vic can you do the fusion shoes again but in Chicago color way😊 1:38
Just out of curiosity, would you consider these real or reps since the upper is real and the sole is a rep? I really would like to know
They're real for the most part
My zens are toast where can i get a rep for a donor?
🔥🔥🔥
we appreciate you!
Is the replica "shoe sole" same material with the original one? I think it's ok, as long as the material quality of replica same with the original. The most important, to preserve the shoe.
How long you let the acetone remove the glue?... Many thanks
We would have to double check with Vick!
So those wouldn’t pass the watermelon coconut test ?
I mean it's much cheaper to use replica parts to restore really expensive shoes...
yeah, like what are they gonna do? take the midsole from another yeezy? lol
To those you don't agree with using fakes to restore yeezys, how would you get a real midsole to fix it?
You would have to take it off another Air Yeezy, Jordan 3 or Jordan 312 legacy
@@Ruperto_gthe jordan 3 doesn't fit and the other 2 will crumble. So what then?
Vik need his own Chanel
He has a channel!
Yeezy 2 next pls
We can look into it!

Day 1 : requesting to do the fusion shoes again
Dude! I’ve been looking to restore a pair of air revolutions - where’d you get the donor pair?
Vick's got connections
To me when it comes to reps fuck it. At this point im sick & tired of having the $ but getting cheated out by bots or nike not making lots of pairs that are desirable pairs but release countless shoes that go straight to outlets. I rather have a collection of UAs of shit i never had the chance to get, gunna run them into the ground & not worry about value.
Ummm…Air Tech Challenges.
Hey vick if you need replacement soles i know some people that sell replacement 3 soles.
Thank you!
🔥🫡
You killed it!
Pause
I wish someone would start selling these fake midsoles direct - someone must have a link????
We would have to ask Vick
I don't get it. The midsole is at least 50% of the shoe. Yall will be ok with using a rep midsole but won't wear a rep shoe. I'm just trying to understand
They don't have a choice. There aren't donors.
@alexanderpierce7985 I get that. I truly do. But how can someone hate to wear reps even though this sole swap will make the shoe a 50% replica. I'm just being a little logical is all
It's a confusing concept to say the least
Naw naw if i couldnt find the real i wouldn't have done it my OP! 90/10 shoe 😂 🤣 and i cant wear it??? Cause now its part fake! How many times have we seen this shoe on YT 🤦♂️ your still the Goat tho 💪🏼
You can wear it with the rep midsole, no judgement here! Thanks!
Awesome work by you guys, one thing those replicas where produced with a glue which is very toxic when you sand them, so whoever is renewing them should use a mask
Thank you for this info!
So lebrons Yeezy’s were fake?
Lost me with the reps 🤦🏻♂️🫨
Sorry
It’s the only logical way.
Might as well just wear the best of the best replicas. I mean half that shit is fugazi.
a real yeezy with a fake/rep sole? how would you explain that its a quarter fake?
You wear them, don't try and sell them and just don't say ish to anyone. Who's going to know?
I mean that's true
You can always used a 2014 air revolution mid sole that will crumble soon if you prefer?
First
nope kaution2004 is🤣🤣
First.
Wearable fakes smh
We didn't pass the vibe check?
now, how would you restore them? destroy another yeezy?
Not fakes just refurbished
exactly!
@reshoevn8r i have a pair of DTRT 3's that need some restoring
Day 1 : requesting to do the fusion shoes again
What fusion do you want to see?
Im sorry for the late reply bro but i want the af 1 and jordan 4 again but in different colorway
