Hey, nice custom! I’m looking to recreate this, so I have a few questions. 1. Did you paint the heel portion that had the heritage red with your mixture of red? 2. Is this mixture of red gonna match the 2015 Chicago perfectly? 3. Would just varsity red be good to match the 2015 chicago?
Thank you. 1. Yes, I paint the heel portion with my mixture of red. 2. I compare it with my homage to home and it is almost the same. 3. No, varsity red is too dark.
For 100% Chicago replica, absolutely! but i prefer fusion red just because of the outsole. I prefer black out sole because in my eyes all the colors are balanced. Even if you use black lace on a Chicago, there's just too much red for my liking. Light fusion red nails the chicago beater for me and for some reason, having less red makes the red pop more if that even makes sense.
@@DashDrones yeah absolutely! For an undesirable colorway to a lot of people, its got one of the best materials no doubt! The only shoe in my collection right now that beats its toe box is handcrafted because out of the two, the latter creased beautifully and the lfr is a close second. If you're not into nubuck then hands down lfr got the best materials on other panels amongst current release.
@@r.i.p2464 yeah, have 4 pairs of fusions. Left one as is and the other three are customs. Will have to do a review video at some point. So glad they're still going for retail 🔥
Hello, I am your fan living in South Korea. Your custom is fantastic! Question: I will do this custom too. However, I'm afraid the toe box will crack when I wear them. If I do the same, I wonder if there will be a crack?
Thank you. It’s been 5 months since I do this, until now still no cracks. My advice is prep it with deglazer thoroughly and apply very thin coats of paint. Also let it dry in between coats. 15 minutes for natural air drying and few seconds if using blower or heat gun.

Hi, the aj1 heritage heel and collar are already red, but did you repaint it again with your mix angelus red paint? because i noticed after you finished the customize it's a little darker than the original red of heritage, thank you
Thank you for all of your vids! For the Chicago, you used paint brush, for the bred toe you used airbrush. What’s you rationale for one vs the other? Thanks!
Those look really good! Nice work… but what made you color match the heel part red on top of Red? you couldn’t come up with a mixture for the original heritage red?
Good job on the custom! I have got a couple of questions, when painting the heel did you have to re-paint the Air Jordan symbol over it? Also where did you get the tongue tags from?
Awesome job, man! Question: I’m looking to paint my metallic midnight navy high OGs - specifically the metallic silver swoosh to black. Any recommendations on how to do so? Worried if I should do anything special because the swoosh is metallic. Thanks!
Great video!! One question, did you also apply the deglazer on the white panels you painted with red? Or only on the red panels and swooshes like you showed on the video?
Hey! I love these. i defitnly want to try it out. one Question tho. How durable is the paint on the leather? How long can I expect it to last till I need to do a light touch up?
I'm going to do this custom and was wondering how much paint I should buy 1 ounce for each color or 4 ounces lastly how do you accurately mix the reds to create the red you made. Thanks.
Hey , the custom is amazing but i wanna ask you that did you use any color paint else with the red color of the heel part and the part has the AJ wing logo(dont know what it called), because after customized it looks kinda better eventhough i dont see any paint on those parts?
Dude you convinced me this is the best option for a Chicago now but for one thing I’m really new to paint mixture.. Do you know how I actually measure the amount so it’s 70/30 on the red?.. definitely didn’t want 2 different shades so guess I wanna make sure it’s a big enough batch for the pair of shoes. 🙏🏼 thanks a ton yo!. Total noob here about to make the leap though!
Hi, this was a great project just two questions, firstly, is the ammount of paint you showed here enough for the whole project and is the Angelus 4 coat matte finisher ok aswell? , because you showed a different one in the video. Thanks
What did you do for the red ankle portion with the black AJ wings logo? Did you paint over that red intricately between the logo? You didn't show yourself painting it in the video but that whole red ankle panel somehow looks darker/color matched like the rest of the red you painted in the After pictures

Is 1oz of angelus red enough for a pair of shoes? When mixing the red paint with 2-thin, is it a 1:1 ratio? Thanks in advance for your help. Also, would using no varsity paint, just the angelus red look better or worse?
1oz is more than enough. Will you be using air brush? If so, 90% red and 10% 2thin or until like milk consistency. If not, no need to mix with 2thin. Just red paint is still nice, I think.
I have a video of the heel painting but the camera is out of focus, so i didn’t include in the final cut. For the Jordan wings logo, I didn’t paint it cause even not painting it is not noticeable .
No, because the red color here in heritage is almost same but the red color in light fusion red is like pink color so it is noticeable if I didn’t paint that
Hi how much paint do you use? 1oz bottle of each color would be sufficient for both shoes? Do you use a heat gun to make the drying process faster? Thank you and great work!
For the white toe part should I use a mix of flat white paint with Angelus 2 thin or just the flat white by itself ? I saw a person customize their shoes like that
Both are ok, as long as you spread your paint evenly and as thin as possible per coat. I think they use that so it easily spread and less chance of uneven painting.
Already message you on IG. Prepping the shoe before painting and applying finisher after painting prevents it from cracking. After that you can use it as normal retail shoe you buy from store.
Matte finisher is for paint protection like scratches. Good prepping is for preventing paint cracks. For me, recently I used sand paper then wipe with deglazer before painting. Another tip is to paint thinly per coats and let it dry in between coats. Then apply 2-3 coats of finisher.
Hey how did u get the finished look on the white paint and the red paint. I’m just wondering cause after u cut away to another part of the shoe the paint looks very finished
I was just planning on paying resell prices for the lost and found Jordan 1’s. Doing it this way will save me $300 and in my humble opinion, this dope transformation looks way better! Thank you for the post sir!
Correction. I paint 5 thin layers. Try using sand paper first then deglazer then apply 5 thin layers. Make sure it is dry before painting new layer. You can watch my other video of painting toe box with sanding: ruclips.net/video/5GFBKqiL2yo/видео.html
Jerry what's good bro, I'm trying to correct some of the red on my heritage jordan 1's I'm customizing them to be breds. what is the best color match for the university red on the heritage or would it be best to use your 30 percent to 70 percent ratio you used here.
I don’t know the mixture for the heritage red but if you want to use the 30/70 ratio I used in my Chicago customs, just paint all red parts with it so it will be uniform.
i did my custom and i ran into an issue. i finished the custom and i wore them and i saw the white paint on the toe box was cracking and showing the red, how do i prevent this
1. Remove factory finishing by scrubbing cotton pads with deglazer or acetone. 2. Sand with sand paper (optional). 3. Paint with thin coats. 4. Allow to dry ( 15 minutes for air dry, few seconds if using heat dun or blow dryer). 5. Apply 1-2 coats of finisher.

Yes, I applied sealer after colour change.
Which Angelus finisher did you use? There’s like 4 kinds

Just use first Angelus leather preparer and deglazer before painting it with black
Excellent work. Just curious whenever we need to clean the shoes is there any damage to the color or something?
No damage if we clean. Don’t use alcohol or wipes with alcohol content. Just use soap and water or any shoe cleaner.
Great video!! One question, did you also apply the deglazer on the white panels you painted with red? Or only on the red panels and swooshes like you showed on the video?
Thanks. I applied deglazer on that area too. Basically, all areas that I painted needs to deglaze first.

How’d you get that brush look not visible on the shoe color for the red?
By applying thin coats
how should i measure the percentage with the red? i try this custom
also where can i get one of those tongue tags?
Just approximately measure 30% of varsity and 70% of red then mix.
You can get the tag on Etsy.

$30-40 + shipping
Jerry what's good bro, I'm trying to correct some of the red on my heritage jordan 1's I'm customizing them to be breds. what is the best color match for the university red on the heritage or would it be best to use your 30 percent to 70 percent ratio you used here.
I don’t know the mixture for the heritage red but if you want to use the 30/70 ratio I used in my Chicago customs, just paint all red parts with it so it will be uniform.
@@jerry44sneakers okay bet thanks bro, waiting on my paints to be delivered.
Do you do customs like this?
Yes bro
Where did you buy the red and white tan for the tongue
I have stock. Message me on my Instagram @jerickulep
How did you get the chicago tougue tab??
I bought it from Etsy but it is currently sold out
i did my custom and i ran into an issue. i finished the custom and i wore them and i saw the white paint on the toe box was cracking and showing the red, how do i prevent this
Did you prep the shoes before painting?
@@jerry44sneakers yes
1. Remove factory finishing by scrubbing cotton pads with deglazer or acetone.
2. Sand with sand paper (optional).
3. Paint with thin coats.
4. Allow to dry ( 15 minutes for air dry, few seconds if using heat dun or blow dryer).
5. Apply 1-2 coats of finisher.
