I Chopped Up The Air Jordan 1 Reimagined

- From high to low! Taking one of the most disappointing releases of 2023 and turning it into a masterpiece. The Reimagined collection of drops has been circling the internet for a while as they recreate some of the most iconic colorways with a different spin on them.
The Reimagined Royal Jordan 1s was just one of the releases, but they are still sitting on SNKRS at retail! These were a release that a lot of people had high hopes for, but quickly changed their minds as the pictures dropped and then the quality came out.
However, lucky for us we have Vick Almighty to turn any release into a master piece. We received these kicks from one of our wholesalers @impossiblekicks8788 and quickly decided to test what we can do with them! In case you didn't know Impossible Kicks has over 15 stores across the United States and they carry RESHOEVN8R products.. Make sure to pick up a kit and some shoes while you're there!
To start this project off we had to do some deconstruction on the sneaker by removing the collar and turning them into a low top. Automatically the sneaker went to a whole new level with just one cut. The custom was simple and quick, but ultimately a game changer!
Once the collar was removed it was all about the details from the sockliner to the Fragment logo. Then why not take one more step and use a trick that Vick has never done before. Turning the suede material into a matte looking finish thanks to a tip found on social media.
Overall these Reimagined Royal Fragment Lows are top tier and I wouldn't be surprised to see Vick walking around in these!
Drop a comment did Vick turn this Reimagined release around?!

![Air Jordan 1 - (CUT IN HALF) - Leather Review of AJ 1 Mid White [I WAS WRONG]](/img/n.gif)
What I like most about people disappointed about this shoe, is that the reseller worms are losing a lot of money. Kind of a payback for 2022.
fr man now the hypebeasts have gone to hell again us real heads can get good quality nice J1s real cheap
I love mine, and I’m glad not everyone wanted them so I had zero problems getting them day 1.
These were the best of reimagined to me
what about lost and founds or cements? @@selfmade128
I double up on em
what was disappointing about this shoe? don't believe the hype. solid materials on these
They have a shorter height which makes it look wonky compared to the remastered Jordan 1 series and also they used suede which is extremely fragile. That’s a big reason plus a lot of us still got our 2017 pair that we prefer more since it’s leather and can just handle all weather
They just mad they can’t resell for money I got mine for 147 and they are great
Yeah i fck with em they look clean to me👌
Same, I think the suede looks great.
The only thing disappoing about the shoe was that re-sellers can't flip it b/c it didnt sell. The shoe is fire and they are mad about it.
You can share the picture of the shoe along with the description to Jordan@reshoevn8r.com. If we are interested in the restoration we will get back to you.
I think my pair of PSG 4's would be a dope episode haven't seen a restoration video on those yet
👍 emailed
I’m not a big low cut shoe fan in any Jordan silhouette. However, these turned out REALLY good. Vic you do some very good collaborations.
Glad you enjoyed this video. Thanks for watching 🙌
Nope give me the highs all day long. Vic have you ever restored a pair of Jordan 23?
That was a dope custom vick
I'm a keep mine exactly how i bought them. These are my favorite Jordan 1's of 2023.
After seeing the wonder balm trick now i feel like i should get these kicks after not wanting them at first 😂
😁
But how does it hold up after a while the wonder balm of course
@@izikcoronado1965 you can always reapply the balm. This also makes it waterproof
Overall, I find it challenging to reconcile the notion of improvement on a "disappointing shoe" because of the quality [according to your description box] simply by making it a low version.
im personally rockin with the high to low look you give these shoes. its just enough of a difference from the lows nike gives us. keep it up Vick!
Thanks for sharing your feedback 🙌
Always a pleasure watching you. Keep up the good work Vick 😎
Thanks for the support, will do!
Im now wondering what the waxed suede would look like on my craft 4s
The good thing is these reimagines and the craft 4 are not selling for a crazy amount of money
No lie the highs look really dope with that matte finish, I might do this to a pair of a get em
That waxy finish took the shoe to a different level. The shoe is so cheap, I might try this with my pair.
Bro that bottle of Yellow Angelus paint in the back is huge! Also you killed this custom Vick. Well done! 🔥 I’d love to see a restoration on Travis Scott x PlayStation Dunk Lows if you can find them
Vic just made some Jordan 1 low OG Mystic Navy’s 😂
That was amazing. I like the original black tongue and I love what you did with the black leather.
Wow, master at work. You're the real deal my man. Those look 1000% better. Great job. Respect the husttle.
Would have loved to see him add the Jordan wings logo on the heel of the low, stitched or embossed. But he still knocked it out of the park!
I always love Vick's way of working
If u add the OG logo frame on the back it's perfect, awesome job man
These are lookin dope, but I would add the wings logo on the back to finish it
so good vic
Love the waxed look
Crazy how these are sitting at my local nike outlet. I remember how big of a pain in the ass was in ‘13 during all star weekend when the royals released. Some stores only had 15 pairs and I paid resale. 17’ they also sold out instantly.
It is crazy
This year I was able to get the satin breads for 130 and the royal blues for 130 and I am glad I was able to get them at a discount
They came out 🔥🔥I like them
Love the shoes vick
The wax🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for the feedback! Glad you enjoyed this project 🙌
I am definitely a fan of people showing their creativity through making customs, but to me, this vid is proof that hype is sadly king. When i heard he was putting the fragment logo on the side I immediately rolled my eyes. And yes i agree, a Lost and Found version of the Royals would’ve objectively been a better looking shoe, but damn people can we just admire the Reimagined Royal for what it is? Of course a full on retro would’ve been "better", but is that seriously what we want? Just exact remakes of the same shoes over and over?
I believe the suede goes super hard, and its different! Which i personally, cant complain with in the slightest!
On the other hand, I'm a huge fan of low top shoes, and the balm on the black panels looked incredible. I personally would’ve only put the balm on the black panels, but it is what it is.
Ultimately, this was a very interesting custom and I cant help but applaud your craftsmanship 👍 P.S just love your shoes however you want to, don't let peoples thoughts change yours
Sick. Did this to my off white unc a while back
Vic you the man they turned out exactly how they were supposed to Customized great transformation
Thank you for the feedback on that and for tuning into the video. What should he customize next?
I wasnt ready for swade trick awsome job from beginning to end 👍🏾
Suede*
The like the finish look on them, but not them being a low.
Definitely looks better 💯💪🏾
that trick was dope. do you think it would work on the university blue 1s well? i ask that because that shoe tends to fade easily and my hope it make the origianl shade last longer with that trick. Let me know what your thoughts are if you wouldn't mind. Thank you.
I don't know what everyone is complaining about. Those Jordans are fire as is.
what a great work
Thank you.
Vick love your work bro!!, also where did you buy your white sox cap bro?
Either way is 🔥 I'm definitely doing this
I feel the same way the needed to bring those just like the lost and found!!!
So dope! Like to have a pair of those myself
Dang Vick!. You've came a long way! Hot iron spatulas, patcher sewing machines, printed logos. This was a dope custom to do. That doc marten balm on them made them look sick. These were almost too bright with the suede, it definitely dulled it down. Helluva job!
Thank you!
I want a pair of these now
Super dope!!! I wanna do this to a pair of ewings I have that are too high imo.
Makes me wanna buy another pair to try it.. great work!
Thank you!
I just got mine like the blue one, havent wear it yet because im concerned on how to properly clean it. Because if i brush it, it might damage the wool on the surface. Is there a proper way to clean them without damaging?
yo vick! quick question, when you midsole swap 4s, could you get away with using a midsole that’s 0.5 size smaller? (ie. size 11 jordan 4 midsoles need swap but found a size 10.5 donor midsole) maybe they use almost the same size dimensions/platforms?? i know when you read the bottom of some insoles it’ll say it fits 10.5-11 shoes…
Love it
😍
Where and how do I send my shoes? I have some 2006 DMP's. Sole separated and gold jumpman is gone. Tried to reglue but without success. They are still in excellent condition so no need to toss them. I also have a pair of emerald green 11s lows I want to change the color of the patent. leather. I just don't know what color yet. I was thinking about making them like the legend blues
Great outcome man. Good job. White tounge and white logo would have looked cool tpo
Ohh my god absolutely nailed it
😍
Bad ass !!!!👍🏽
Wow these are clean as a low
Great transformation. I could've done without the fragment logo I don't think it was necessary. Great job 👍.
Thanks for the feedback. We are grateful for your love and support.
These are dope.
Thanks for the feedback!
Dope bro
custom aj1 are always so cool
Damn!
You're the Michelangelo of the sneaker world.
Big props to you, my dude.🙌
What's up vic I've been watching you for a couple of years and I use plenty of your methods to my madness I wanna do mines like that with the wings logo in back plus age the midsoles with cream laces with a new cream liner what you think?
Sounds Like You’re Playing Some “LNDN DRGS” with some Larry June in the Background…!!! Hope You had a Great 2023 My Brother Vick Almighty…!!!
The waxed upper made the leather liner match even better! Why did you not laser the Fragment logo? 🤔
would love to see them in the OG cutting at the back tab
I want a pair of these VN8 low reimagine blues!!!
Can you recommend a customizer that could do something like this?
Hey Vick, long time fan of the page. While I don't have the shoes on me to restore, I did have a pair of Nike Dunk De-La-Soul Lows that I'd love to see get restored. I got them by mistake from the seller and sent them back, not knowing what I had. If you could do a pair of those I'd think it would be dope.
yooooo no way! i just waxed my pair and i am so happy with how it came out. the reimagined looks like the og now! thank you!
Thats awesome! Thanks for watching and glad you got some value from this video 🙌
how are they holding up?
Could you still iron out the toe box on these to change the shape?
They look like the mystic navy aj1 lows 🔥
Fire
Imagining the tongue was suede material like the rest of shoe😩 that will set it off🔥💪🏽
dang did u see that other post where someone applied the wax to the olive 4s? i wanna see more waxed shoes tbh for fun!
We will surely try to come up with such content.
I luv the highs but the lows go hard👍
You gotta do a sole swap... Virgil Off White Air Force 1s... Green one or the Rasheed Wallace sneakers.
that wax and custom looks dope man...the wax is an espeially easy upgrade custom on the hi-tops just in and of itself. kinda makin me want to cop and copy....is it possible to cut an og style heel tab for the low cuts from the the leather/suede overlay on the ankle part that got cut off? if someone wanted to lol. i don't know why but i;'m just not able to get down with 1lows sans that og heel tab lol,
You should cut the parts from the sneakers not in use or are scraps. It's a matter of choice though.
Hey i just ordered some used 9.5 jordan 4 tour yellow '06 i would just want them fully restored, let me know
That thing came out fire bro
Thank you!
I got Air Jordan 1 Hyper Royals that needs to be cleaned & repainted & creases removed from the toebox
Bro! I have a pair. Sz 15. What would be the cost to do mine?
They look good, but I would like the sock liner thicker like the high tops
Vic never disappoints but where can we get that White Sox hat? 😮💨
Dope af 🔥
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed this video!
@RESHOEVN8R every week thanks for the good content I look forward to your guys vids!
Did the wax mess up the fibers ? Like making the shoe stiff when you walk causing it to crease a lil more than it would ?
Using balsam should not cause any such issues for light use.
U need a SHOP in LA bro... need alot of my shoes customize :)
What glue to use for Retro 11 translucent sole? Trying to find something that cures clear and permanent. Tip sole in is coming loose at front where sole and toe box comes together
Vick uses Barge Super Stick the most, but let me as him what he thinks
The Royal blue and black Jordan 1s 😎
🙌
the wax made it look so much better. i need a pair now
Thanks for your feedback Eric!
@@RESHOEVN8R can get them dirty and clean them up. I want to see how that wax would hold up
Them low!, and with that wax looks real clean!
Thank you for your support.
I been writing you for years about them 6’s I got a scratch in the front I can’t wait for that vid
Stay tuned for next Monday! 🙌
Im a big fan of you and the 👟👍🏾
I am glad to hear that.
Would love to see you take these low cut customs a step further and start adding the back wings logo patch that are on the OG lows I think it would be interesting to see how your creativity and skill could make that work
That could be very interesting. We can add it to the list for sure to see if Vick can make this happen.
Just spoke with Victor on this and he's up for the challenge. Next time he cuts a high into low we will try this. Thanks for the feedback!
@@RESHOEVN8Rsuper hype to see that thank you guys for listening 🙏🏽
Wowwww now you have the Jordan 1 low mystic navy.
🙌
you are awesome
Dope
This was my 2nd favorite AJ1 High release of the year, behind the '85 Black & White, and in front of the Palomino.
Nice materials, the most "correct" toe box shape we've seen in a long, long time, and they look great.
I love the Palominos
👍
great custom, those are tough
Thank you!
I wouldn't say the wax made em better but for sure different and I like it
fire bruh
We appreciate the support! What should he customize next?
Has anybody else found any luck w/ more info on turning the suede into a leather finish using the wonder balm?! Pls n thanks!
How can we help?
I expected to the sole to get the coffee dye treatment. These came out amazing but can you please just add the VA logo instead of FRGMNT.
I have this shoe and I think it's dope the way it is idk why it gets so much hate bit your custom is dope in my humble opinion
