Vick has an endless amount of ideas for customs, restorations and simple projects, but this one has been on his mind for years. The Bred colorway is Vick's all time favorite, so it was only right that he put his own twist on the iconic Chicago Jordan 1 with the Nike Dunk Sole. Vick picked up this pair of 1.5's at Sneakercon and knew they were a great base shoe for this transformation.

Now the Bred 1.5's feature a questionable midsole and outsole, some might like them, but Vick was for sure not a fan. After buying them for $60 all that was left to do was to find the perfect Nike Dunk Sole to install on this upper. To kick off the project we need to deconstruct the 1.5 pair without ruining the uppers.. This is a tedious and complicated process, but after using some heat and a flathead Vick was able to remove those 1.5 soles and put them where they belong.. In the trash!

After the sole was removed Vick needed to properly clean the entire upper using Reshoevn8r's cleaning solution and brushes before rinsing them off fully. Last step of the cleaning was to let them sit in the Arizona sun and dry, which wasn't going to take much.

While the shoes dry it was time for another round of deconstruction.. This time on the donor sneaker! Vick often picks up sneakers from Nike By You for customs and they sit until his next idea comes to mind. That means this project was going to be pretty simple... He already had the concept, base shoe and a donor shoe; all he had to do was deconstruct and reconstruct! Once the soles were removed from the uppers on the Nike Dunks it was time for a little bit of prep to get them ready for reconstruction.

With both shoes deconstructed, Vick needed to prep the uppers on the base shoe for the best line up possible. This process if tedious, but 100% necessary to get the best results possible. Since they are his personal pair.. You already know he had to take his time! With everything prepped, it was time to stick them together and hope for the best! Vick has done hundreds or reglues and sole swaps in his career, so he wasn't too worried about how this one would go.

With the sole and uppers fully glued and stitched together it was time to pay attention to the details. Vick used the iron method to remove creasing from this used pair of sneakers. He also removed creasing from the material on the tongues using a steamer. Now these steps aren't 100% needed, but they do help a lot! With the creasing removed it was time for just a little bit of painting. Vick used Angelus paint to touch up the upper and the wings logo.

After all that work; these are going straight to toe without a doubt! Drop a comment and let us know, did Vick make the right choice swapping these soles?

P.S. Don't miss the next couple of Monday's Vick has some HUGE projects coming up!
