Here is a run down, I whitened and removed the stain from the mesh, re painted the white leather parts, and of course redid the suede. Finally I used the sauce to whiten the rubber after removing the paint that was on the outsole.
Let me know what you think
 
I hadn't had a pair of red, white, and black Air Jordan I's since my orginal's when I was 3 years old. Needless to say when I restored an original pair a couple years ago I wanted a pair for my collection. This weekend when I ran across a pair of white and red I's I knew I had a project. Not to mention they were 59.99, plus 20% off, plus a $5.00 off! I didn't change the lining on the inside because it seemed like a waste of time.
