Sneaker restoration is an art form that has been mastered by very few. The process of “sea glowing” and cleaning uppers has been one of the most oft-discussed topics on sneaker forums for years, but those who have managed to hone their skills have created some nice side-jobs for themselves – like RefreshPGH in the Pittsburgh area. He’s detailed some of his past projects in side-by-side format, with some dramatic before-and-after shots (like the Air Jordan VII “Hare”) that provide enough evidence that he’s good at what he does. Check out some of the restored kicks below and if you’ve got some gems that could use a bath, hit up RefreshPGH for an inquiry.
