so typically on air force ones especially with age they start to yellow
just like this on this midsole they're yellowing up really bad these are from
2005. we're gonna try to restore these and
bring these things back to life today i'm gonna be showing you guys a
step-by-step process on how to get your yellow air force ones from this to this
so let's go ahead and get into the video
what's up with you guys how you doing how you been if you did not know by now
my name is dj and this is the dna show now if you haven't
already hit that subscribe button smash the like button because that helps the
algorithm owe so much and you guys are here for a special reason
and i know what it is we got to get this yellowing out of these midsoles we got
to bring our air force ones back to life especially with an old sneaker like this
so in today's video i'm going to be using some so bright a paint brush
some plastic wrap some natural sunlight and a little bit of time so i'm going to
do one shoe only so that way you can see the difference between the two
so make sure you stick around to the end of the video to see the final results so
one of the first things that i always love to do is put paper towels inside of
the toe box to try to get some of that creasing out while it's sitting over
time so i'm gonna do that right now and stuff
the inside right here just to try to mold it and get that creasing out so as
you can see right here alone some of that creasing is already gone and we got
some of the shape to the shoe back now we really need to focus on this
yellowing on the midsole because that is very important that's what's really
going to make the big visual difference okay so what i'm going to do next is
apply the sobrite to the midsole so i'm going to shake it up a little bit
i'm going to open it up and then i'm going to just literally take a little
bit from here and start applying it we're
gonna have to do both sides of the sneaker
one side at a time as we let it sit outside so
i want to get this front side of the foot down for you guys first not too
thick not too light just enough to be able to see a little coat of it on there
that way it can really work into that midsole and get
that yellowing and that oxidation out of that rubber i've never done it on air
force ones before like this i've tried this stuff on different shoes on the
clear on the outsoles before so this is my first time doing this
we're gonna see how it turns out but i think it should be good okay so we got a
pretty good coat on here right here as you can see
we're gonna have to do one side of the shoe at the time because we're gonna
have to let it sit like this let the sun be moment and then we'll flip the shoe
over and then do the other side of the shoe again
probably gonna let these sit outside for maybe like 30 minutes to an hour we'll
check up on it and see how it goes so what we need to do now is put some
plastic wrap on here so i'll make this the length of the shoe
and i'm literally just going to sit it on top press it down
make sure that it's all over the top right here and now we're ready to go so
let's go ahead and take these things put them outside let them sit in the sun for
a bit and see how they look
one eternity later okay we're back and the shoe is looking
really good right here you can already tell i'm pulling off the plastic right
now you can still see there's some residue
here on there so we're going to get that rinsed off we're going to scrub it off
with a little bit of water here in the bowl
get that cleared up and then see what it finally looks like and see if we need to
do any more sessions or if we're going to be
satisfied with the look of this right here so all i'm really going to do is
just take a wet toothbrush right here and just kind of
rub it off get this solution off right here get all this off
and wipe it off with the towel don't want to leave any of that excess
on the sneaker so as you can see just off of this one session alone the
midsole is looking very very nice that yellowing is gone yes we have some
little issues with the paint right here rubbing off we're gonna get that fixed
with the other pair as well they're both kind of messed up on the heel just from
wear and everything over time so i might run to the store and grab a paint pan or
something like that just to touch up the green right here on the air logo
but besides that honestly i feel like the shoe is already looking way better
so now let's compare these to the other foot and see what they originally look
like then and now just off of first glance you can already see in the toe
box and everything like that the creasing right here and right here
already looks a little bit better and then when you lace it up and make it
look more clean the shoe looks a lot better as well in
that style but the biggest thing that we're looking for is the midsole
when you put these two together right here you can clearly see there is a huge
difference i mean bruh look at that that is crazy this is
literally off of one session and it can literally bring this shoe
back to life so here you have a look at the before
and after let me know what you think down below in the comment section would
this be something that you are interested in doing
you can repeat this same exact process and do it for your sneakers as well
i have all the items that i use listed down below as well in the description so
if you're interested in any of that stuff
check it out thank you guys for watching i hope you guys enjoyed this my name is
