TUXEDO 11s… FOR AN ACTUAL TUXEDO 😂🤵‍♂️👟 He brought these Jordan 11 Lows in because he’s planning to wear them with a tuxedo to a wedding. Had to get them looking right for the occasion. 🧼 This pair is over 13 YEARS OLD, so we had some work to do—yellowed soles AND little black paint splatters on the white patent leather. 👀 The splatters looked like house paint. We removed what we safely could, but a few stubborn specks remained. With patent leather this old, we weren’t going to risk damaging the finish just to chase every last dot. Before we even started cleaning, we also tried a process called “pre-icing” and removed a good chunk of the yellowing before the restoration really began. 🧊 Then came the full clean and icing session to bring those soles back as much as possible. For a pair from 2013, I’m happy with how these came out. Wedding fit loading… 🔥 Want a separate video explaining the pre-icing process?

They thought the new shoes were just temporary… those are YOURS 😂👟 I caught Nathan outside on the phone in Wicker Park and asked if I could take the Dunks right off their feet to clean them up. They were down, so we headed to Foot Locker to get them a new pair to wear—and keep 🙌🏾 That’s always my favorite part: when someone realizes the new shoes are actually theirs 😂 Nathan picked up their Dunks at Buffalo Exchange a few weeks ago. Now we’re giving them a proper BTB cleaning so they’ll have TWO fresh pairs in the rotation 🧼🔥 Follow for part 2 to see the transformation and Nathan’s reaction 👀

I bought him new shoes… then had to clean them before we even left the store 😭🥤 Back in Wicker Park, I spotted Caleb from across the street and had to ask for the shoes off his feet 😂 His white shoes were covered in black muck after accidentally stepping into the conveyor belt drain area at his car wash job. We headed to @footlocker, got him a fresh pair of Hokas, and everything was going smoothly… until he accidentally dropped his Chick-fil-A shake on his BRAND NEW shoes while I was checking out 💀 Couldn’t let him leave like that. Grabbed some shoe cleaner right there in the store, had him sit down, and got to work the old-school way 🧼 Fresh again before he walked out! There’s a first for everything 🤣 Now let’s see what I can do with the pair he came in wearing. Follow for Part 2 👀 Need your kicks restored?
