Finally someone show how hard 4s is to make a soleswap, that polyurethane midsole job is the most time consuming process, I exactly know it's not easy to make it clean, I recently fully restored fire red mars 4s so I have a lot appreciaton on your job John, take care, upload more videos, there is a lot fans of your content right here!
You should try an electric rotary shoe polish brush for the insoles/liner, it does an amazing job of getting the deep trapped in dirt and working up a crazy strong lather. It's improved my cleaning time 5 fold and does a way better job than by hand.
I use FZ150 a lot and it works really good! I’ve been using it wrong when I got it, but to have a lot of foam you should dip your brush in water and pump a little bit of foam in the water.
@@johnandrew00 hey man you got this! Your honestly bringing me back to my glory days when I was watching retrosnickers. Now I’m taking restoring sneakers very seriously you and him both are my inspiration for the love of restoring sneakers!
Yo John! I'm a fellow Filipino here (or at least I assume you're half or something lol) I just wanna let you know I'm a huge fan of what you're doing to these sneakers man, great content! I also just wanna know where your place is at here or province, and what are your alternative Filipino products for most of your sneaker cleaning, hopefully something budget friendly lol. Keep it up OG and kumpare!
Kamusta, I don’t know what kind of products there are in the Philippines or what they sell at SM. If there’s a footlocker and they sell cleaning products I would start there. That’s what I used when I first started and they worked good
Wouldn’t it be easier to use a pair of Pure Money 4’s as donors? I came up on a pair a few months ago and I thought of using those for a sole swap. Side note: It seems that most Jordans made on/after 2016 are harder to separate; the glue that’s used is pretty strong, plus the additional stitching on some shoes (upper to midsole) makes it a challenge. It sucks because pre-2016 J’s, despite being easier to separate, are more likely to crumble down the road.
Recently bought a pair of laser gun Jordan 4s I was wondering if it was ok to put them in the wash or if it would damage the shoe? I’m using the reshoeven8r laundry bag and kit
It’s important to know how well the donors were kept. I still have my 2012 donors firm and strong. Aren’t the pure moneys going for $500+? Even if you buy a used pair, you’re still looking at $200+ for a decent sole to work with. The unpopular models aren’t as over inflated in price. I would only use a pure money donor if the outsole of my bling 4s are shot. I prefer to use the original outsole on the shoes I’m swapping with
If it’s cracked, that can’t be repaired to its original state. You can fix it by removing the dried durabuck and paint match the suede but it’ll never have the same look and feel. You can dye polyurethane into a darker color. But not a lighter color if it’s a dark pu

You should be okay. I don’t recommend putting shoes in water unless they are completely soiled. Leaving shoes in water will remove the natural oils of the leather. It’s important to recondition the leather afterwards if you do.
Bro this is exactly how I do my outsole removal. People don't realize how HARD it is to remove the outsoles. Also I just did a pair of these 4s and they were so damn hard to completely line up due to the grey parts on the toe poking out.
Btw, if you get the opportunity to work on another pair of these, make sure to get a midsole donor with silvery chrome colored columns inside of the air unit instead of white. The closest midsole to the color of original is the Jordan 4 Anniversary Laser from 2015. But thats if you want to make it super precise and close to the original from 2000.
Was looking at old pics of my dad and he had the craziest shoe collection I miss him so much🥲

Those Jordan 4s you used as donors were 2019 Jordan 4 fiba. Enjoyed the bid as always. GOD bless
That’s what they are! Thank you
Nice work. Toe shape on these is beautiful.
Thank you very much!
Clean work brotha
Thank you brother 🙏🏼❤️
After spraying the cleaner on them. Try using a soft brush and electric drill gun to get deep in the fabrics
Dude your getting close to a mili like how does that feel bro! That’s crazy been posting bangers!!
So close! I definitely just need to be more consistent

Awesome vid man for some reasons its hard for me to get in to restoring shoe videos but this one i watched from beginning to end 🎉
This is hella interesting. No one can afford new shoes anymore so this is a skill we all need.. trying to save my white platform sneakers rn

@@ironbeagle7976 Those are from ‘05, so the midsoles might crumble. Best to remove them and then wash the uppers by hand

Fz150 from the shoe doc is the best shoe cleaner in America okay
When you see the foam your in the zone !!!
You should find a method to whiten the edges of the leather (like on the toebox). I think there is some dye or paint that is meant for that
sneaker white from shoe doc is what you use on that. or a bleach pen, but they dont sell those anymore.
There’s a pen to fix white stitching… seen Vick and Doc use it
Now we talkin wit the foam
What was the name of those dono shoes? Tryna cop a pair
great job as always
Dang that does work
Please do a restoration of wings and backtabs like on cool grey 4s, how theyll be cracked would nice to know how to fix. and does dying pu foam work?
If it’s cracked, that can’t be repaired to its original state. You can fix it by removing the dried durabuck and paint match the suede but it’ll never have the same look and feel. You can dye polyurethane into a darker color. But not a lighter color if it’s a dark pu
@@johnandrew00 I was thinking of just replacing because I don’t wanna resort to the tennis ball, that’s my last resort as of now
You should make a video on how to midsole swap a pair of air Yeezy 2 or do you know what pair I can use to sole swap them?
I haven’t had a chance to get a pair to swap. You’ll need the air tech challenge 2 for a donor
@@johnandrew00 thank you 🙏
My only pair of Jordans, they are the bred toe lows and they ripped on the toe box what makes me sad because they are my only good shoes😭
Submitting My vote for a pressure washer next time
let's see a Shaq Ice Retro and a Jordan 11 mash-up.
"Your vid’s are the best
How did the outsole have barely any heel drag
surprised you didnt iron the shoe to minimize the creases all over the shoes
fz150 is the bestwin i see fom im in tmy zone🤣
Plantsa for the win. Hahaha.
if you mix toothpaste, laundry detergent, and luke warm water makes the best show cleaner i’ve ever used

Bro finds shoes every day
Could you do my Oreo 4s?
bro how do you get them that dirty 💀
That FIBA 4s 😢
stopped using fz150 because it couldnt clean the outsole at all
The cleaner is good. You just need a stiffer brush for the outsole
😊
This shoe is fossilized, man.
hi
Whats the point of dirtying already crumbled shoes? Wtf lmao
how do you find shoes that dirty
idk if its just me or the jordan logo had a butt on it
Mo butta
I use Angelus shoe cleaner. They sell it by the gallon so it lasts a while and it does a good job cleaning my shoes
I like how they sell in big quantity. I bought a jug when I was in la at a leather supply store. You save a lot of money buying in bulk

Ngl u could’ve did a lil better bro on this one
WHY DID YOU COVER OLD SNEAKERS IN DIRT IN THE FIRST PLACE? INSTEAD OF DRAMATIC EFFECT IT ADDED THE FAKE ELEMENT.
Why waste time and money on these? Just for RUclips clicks?
lol why are all the shoes covered with the exact same dirt? try harder for content
What’s the steamer called? Where can you get it
Bro this is exactly how I do my outsole removal. People don't realize how HARD it is to remove the outsoles. Also I just did a pair of these 4s and they were so damn hard to completely line up due to the grey parts on the toe poking out.
Let just call them for what they are …. F**** shoes vs what dirty shoe is.
Literally doing a full restore and sole swap on a pair of these right now. People sleep on this model, such a clean shoe
As a restorer I can say almost any cleaner can clean leather, I’d like to see you test FZ-150 on suede
Great point!
Look at shoe docs videos he does suede
Shoooot QC isn’t great now! Amazing videos!
0:03 yes I believe you are right about these being the first triple white Jordan to release.
Btw, if you get the opportunity to work on another pair of these, make sure to get a midsole donor with silvery chrome colored columns inside of the air unit instead of white. The closest midsole to the color of original is the Jordan 4 Anniversary Laser from 2015. But thats if you want to make it super precise and close to the original from 2000.
And thank you for choosing this shoe as your project. This is my favorite Jordan of all time.
Definitely! I just used what extras I had. Will definitely want something original the next time these will be swapped.
It got a so called Mexican cat that can cmake any shoe look brand new i thought dude was buying new shoes but naw
Shoe doc has a stiffer brush on his website and meany more
Get you some FZ150
plz let me have tho bc people bully me bc my shoes at school
Ayo you just destroyed a $320 pair of Air Jordan 4 Fiba’s 😩😂
Have you ever restored reebok pumps? They were bad ass back in the day
What did you do, dig up a dead man and take his shoes? 😅
You have save yourself a 150 bucks
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not fc150 when i see the foam I’m in my zone
Ok bro I watch you restore the kicks but I can’t get him to do mine!!
Teach Them Texas
They called Jordan 4 pure money btw. Not Jordan 4 bling.
Whats up john.. Love your videos, what type of gloves do you use?
The video is so cool, the shoes are recycled perfectly
Is it just me or do you guys listen to his vids when your playing a game or something
