We ruined these shoes with bleach. Luckily we were able to save this custom and turn it into something amazing!
When Rit Dye sent over a huge care package, we knew Vick Almighty was going to cook up something special. Just a few weeks ago Vick made a Dip-Dyed custom Jordan that turned out great, and this Tie-Dye custom Jordan 1 is no different.
The idea was to bleach the Denim Air Jordan 1 and then dye it with Rit Dye. However the first pair was ruined. Vick submerged the shoes in bleach for 30 minutes, and this completely ruined the leather.
Luckily we were able to grab another pair from our sneaker store Many Worlds, and used a brush to apply the bleach to only the denim instead. Let this be a lesson: DON'T bleach leather shoes!
Time to add some color to this mostly white Jordan! There were a lot of colors of Rit Dye to choose from. Vick decided to work with some of the sunset tones…yellow, blue, orange, purple, pink, and teal. In contrast to the last dyed custom where Vick mixed the dye with water and submerged the shoes, he opted to apply the dye straight onto the material using a squeeze bottle.
Dyeing the shoes this way produced much brighter tones, but was much easier to mess up. Applying dye directly onto the material doesn’t give you any room for error. Thank goodness Vick has the hands of a surgeon!
Vick also added some custom Nike logos and redid the tongue tags to really bring this custom to life. Then he painted the leather to match the sole, and finished it off with a the Dremel to give the denim a distressed look and feel.
Do you like how these turned out? It’s been really fun to experiment with new ways to customize shoes and to get Vick out of his comfort zone!
