i found some flint greys in my size finally and want to start bidding on these. But something dont seem right wit these. It looks like the damn sole is bout tofall off or something. Whats wrong with them and are these even worth buyin? Can they be filled in or fixed somehow..? Whats the most you would spend on a pairin this condition? They look brand new never worn. Thanks in advice if u got any advive.

EITHER FROM AGE OR B GRADES. IT HAPPENS WITH SOME SNEAKS IF NOT KEPT PROPERLY. LUCKILY MY FLINTS ARE PERFECT AND DS.

EDIT: JUST SAW AIR BUBBLES. SHOES DEF WERENT KEPT WELL. PASS ON THOSE.
 
yeah those are looking pretty sketchy, I just picked up a pair this past weekend...tongue looks way off and it might just be the pics but the grey doesn'teven look like suede, and lets not get started on that hologram
 
Og's they look just fine

. The same as mine do just blow dry the damnhologram to lighten it up a bit. You dudes that are questioning authenticity and storage on those are nuts go back to J school.

NO ONE QUESTIONED IF THEY WERE LEGIT, ME AND OTHER POSTERS SAID THEY MIGHT BE B GRADES. THEY DEF ARE AUTHENTIC. STORAGE THOUGH IS IN QUESTION. MINE LOOKNOTHING LIKE THAT, IT'S LATE NOW BUT I WILL POST PICS TOMORROW OF HOW THEY SHOULD LOOK LIKE IF KEPT PROPERLY.
 
80% of og flints show at least some glue stains, the holograms are what are being questioned as far as storage i guess? I have white/red og's with perfectholograms/ playoffs with semi fogged holograms/ 2 pairs of flints one totally fogged and one semi fogged. All of my J's are stored exactly the same intheir boxes in my spare room, Its not that big of a deal if the holograms are fogged thats still a nice pair of og's.

LOL, AIGHT. I GUESS SWERV, IT COMES DOWN TO WHAT TYPE OF COLLECTOR ARE YOU? I PREFER TO WEAR MY SHOES SO I WOULD PASS ON THOSE BUT IF YOU JUST WANT THEM INYOUR COLLECTION THEN COP THEM. NOT SURE HOW MANY WEARS YOU COULD PULL OUT OF THEM THOUGH.
 
Don't even listen to these dudes.

The shoes are PERFECTLY FINE.

The sole is not separating from the shoe. I have an OG pair I bought ds 3 years ago and it looks identical to that pair (same size probably, lol). Those arejust glue stains. And the fogginess on the hologram is natural for a 12 year old sneaker. Just do like everyone said and blow dry them.
 
If u really want these then take the time to go he extra mile and find another pair and pay the extra money if necessary. It's more worth it rather thantrying to restore a pair. If u want them that bad money is not the problem and it will be most satisfying.
 
i think i'm gonna keep watchin it and see what they get to and if the price is right like 10 minutes before it ends i'ma snatch em, why not...? Just incase i dont come up on a pair anytime soon. thanks for the feedback fellas
