- From Bad Custom To Brand New | G-Unit Sneaker Restoration
G-G-G-G-UNIT!!! On this week’s episode of “Customs and Restorations with Vick”, Vick gets his hands on a poorly customized pair of Reebok G-Unit G6 3’s! Say that five times fast!
Vick wanted to bring these sneakers back to their original 2006 look, with a few Almighty touches of course, so he started off by using some cotton balls and acetone to remove the custom paint job on the uppers. The paint came off much easier than expected, but not completely, as it was still visible in the stitching and porous leather. Since acetone would not help on these materials, Vick taped up the shoes and sprayed the uppers with a coat of white paint.
After the uppers were back to their “crispy” original look, Vick threw his own slight customization into the mix, modifying the flag near the toe box to mirror the first edition G-Unit sneaker that had red, white, and blue lines. Vick’s steady hand nailed it!
The last step of this custom/restoration was to try and bring back the icy soles! While the shoe had never been worn, the translucent soles had yellowed from aging. Vick lathered up the bottom of these kicks with a nice thick coat of RESHOEVN8R Sole Revive and then dropped them into his new indoor setup - “The Vick 2000”! If you’ve ever wondered how well Sole Revive works, now you know! Selling out in 3…2…1… hurry! The final touch was some new laces from Foxtrot Uniform and we were good to go!

As a newer sneakerheads I wouldn't mind you doing customs of your childhood shoes. I was too young and poor to be a sneakerheads so these kind of shoe are kinda dope to see again.
We can definitely look into doing more older shoes!
That sole was ice cold.. really good restore.. need to see more of this shoe "rescue" vids..
This was a great episode haven’t seen a pair of these since I was 12 😂
Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@RESHOEVN8R What paint brushes u used to paint the thing white?
Because the ones that I bought are no that good
I agree Vick those are a straight forgotten gem 💎
Ahh the memories!! Need to find a pair of the DaDa spreewells next for the spinners!

Fire, I have a pair almost deadstock of the og gunits. I’m 21 young gunit fan 💪🏻

they released at least 4 colorways
The Game 310 Hurricanes damn!!!! My brother had a pair and I was mad jealous
I had one pair of these on all white,and all g logo on the sides,the most comfortable shoe i ever had!
Yo Vick these came out super clean and definitely took me back to HS days 🤣. I think y’all should do a series of like early/mid ‘00s kicks. Would kinda dope to see some S. Carters or gum bottom Solja Ree’s restored.
The S.Dots would be good follow up!
That would be dope! We'll look into it.
@@RESHOEVN8R just curious, but have you been able to actually look into it yet? 👟🧰🖌️🔥🔥🔥
We are talking to Vick about it!
@@RESHOEVN8R let’s goooo
Man i miss my pair! Had that exact blue pair in the 10th grade i got at an outlet with the daddy yankee Reeboks
Dang the nostalgia is real, I was like you and went with the hurricanes. But always wanted a pair of some Gunit trainers.
Reebok went hard with the G-unit sneakers and the S.Carters we’re fire too I personally liked the g-unit sneakers with the pump
Facts!

I wish I still had my birdmans. I still got my game shoes and my ice creams.
Edit: I would love to get my pink lemonade ice creams restored. Id love to wear those again. I used to skate them and they were Hella comfortable.
Nice job my guy!!
Thank you! -Vick
You bought Game’s Hurricane instead of the G-Unit shoes? Wow. That’s a crazy choice.
Too each his own
@@RESHOEVN8R I was a The Game fan. Remember vividly when on mixtapes he was like ‘Hurricanes in stores, November, fuck Reebok’. Really wanted the Hurricanes, but never had the money.
Flippin kickz 2000 cough* cough*
Damn, Vic’s customs have come a long way
Facts! He's gotten unreal 🔥
Would love to see you restore some old dub zeros or some old spikez
We can look into it!
@@RESHOEVN8R the old red ones or the blue ones that will be dope !!!
I picked up the black and white daddy yankee when those dropped and I was only allowed to pick one shoe per year so I got those
👍
We need the S. Carter from Reebok next!🤔
🤔
Can you find the S. Carter Sneakers
These were a hit! Thanks for bringing these back 👌🏾
When you do the air brush does it cover the holes on the shoe ?
the idea they had on the custom wasn’t bad kinda fits the shoe can tell someone did these back in the day
Agreed.
Damn vick you done worked on every shoe ever
Trying to work on as many different kinds of shoes as I can! -Vick
👍👍
🤝
I recently found a few pairs I used to rock back in the day, and I think he should have re-glued the midsoles / soles. Mine peeled off instantly, the glue dried completely. I will do a full restauration on my channel ✌️
Any tips one restoring Kobe 10 fundamentals?
Just make sure to have the Mamba Mentality while restoring them.
I rmbr I used to see these at Ross for like 15 bucks
Wow nice how did you do remove the yellowing from indoor set up
He shows in the video how the yellowing was removed.
Oh okay In the indoor set up
@@38dub43 the indoor setup has UV rays which reacts with the sole revive he applied to the bottom and that’s how the yellow is gone.
Throw in some phatfarms and we're in the nostalgia time machine
Haven't see a pair of those in forever!
What type of paint brushes do u guys use. There good
🔥🔥🔥 I had a couple pairs of these back in the day. I want to say they were only 50 bucks which makes sense. I wish I still had them. Nice work as always Vick!
That's dope! Thanks for the support man -Vick
Zamn
Hope you enjoyed the video!!
Where did you get that apron??
DANG! Look at those soles!
Crazy right?! That sole revive is the truth!
Yeee the game hurricane 🌀 gggggg-unot lol
The G-Unit shoes I had was the Black GXT.
Where you getting your barge super stick? I can't find any anywhere
it's all over ebay. But it depends where you want delivery
Hey Vick, I need a setup like that. Can y please give me the particulars . I have quite a few soles I need to ice and de-yellow
