Restoration Part 7: Attempt to Remove the Creases from Side Panel & Toe Box (AJ1 Retro)

In this video, we attempt to remove the creases from the side panel using a fabric steamer. When doing this process, you need to use a towel to cover the portion you will steam, as it may damage the shoes. In addition, you need to soak the side panels both in and out carefully prior to steaming.

When fabric steaming the toe box, use the same caution and procedure with the side panel. If you don't get the desired results, try a few more times. Just note, results will vary.

In the end, we were not able to remove any substantial creases off the Air Jordans, and even if it didn't work, good information is taken from this. Not all shoes will have removable creases. You just have to try other shoes and see if they work for you.

In the past, I've tried this method on the Jordan 3 & 13's and it worked to reduce the creases on those, so there is definite possibilities with this method.

The last video will be a summary and wrap up of the AJ1 Retro Restoration Project. We may also have details on our next project. So STAY TUNED!!!

will this work on my 96 Columbia 11s ?? I Need a Reply ASAP . :]

[restoremysneakers]

@oCaMBo713 I've tried it on my Concords, it doesn't really work well.

[planbleandro12]

can this work on cement 3s ?

[restoremysneakers]

@planbleandro12 I've tried it in the past, and it was able to remove some of the creases. But since it's tumbled leather, it'll crease back up when worn.

[MrRandomguy2313]

can you tell me how to take out crease close to the side panel towards the toe box on my Air Jordan 7's. It's also making a squeaking noise.

[restoremysneakers]

@MrRandomguy2313 Nothing much you can do about the crease other than to stuff the toebox area with clean socks or plastic bags. As for the squeaking noise, some people have reported that lifting up the insole and putting some baby powder helps relieve that issue. However I want to say that it's more of an air unit issue.
