This doesn't fall under care and maintenance so I figured I would start a thread.  I live in the Atlanta area and I'm not sure if anyone specializes in repair.  Online or local.  I would love to be able to wear these again, but here are some pics.  Please let me know if anyone knows if these can be repaired.
 
yep, a sole swap and both will be wearable again.

had to get that in before the "those are trashed, sell to me for cheap!" :lol:
 
Sole actually looks good compared to pairs I've seen. Sole swap like homie said keep us posted I would love to see after pics
 
Thanks guys.  Is there someone who does this or is it really a DIY thing?  And how do you go about getting another sole to swap?  I posted here on NT years ago but have been out of the loop for a while.  Sorry for the noob questions.

If you could point me in the right direction to a thread or something that deals with this I would really appreciate it, otherwise I will search.  I really love these shoes and it pains me to not be able to wear them.  I must not have stored them properly because I broke them out a couple of years ago to wear and they IMMEDIATELY started cracking on me.  First world problems, but I was upset to say the least lol

Exactly why I want to keep my eye on this thread because I'm curious on how to go about it myself
 
I'm finding out more about it, but it seems difficult to DIY.  Would rather pay someone hundreds of dollars to do it for me, since it will be expensive either way, needing a "donor shoe" and all lol

I'll never sell these.  If I can't wear them nobody can.  They will either get repaired for my own use or rot in my closet.
 
You have to buy a newer pair of the same model and do the sole swap and pray that JB did not change the mold shape

Yeah I will have to look more into this.  But if it's too much hassle I won't even bother.  Seems like it's too much of a hassle.
 
Aren't the blk/infrared VI's supposed to drop again later this year?  Maybe that will be my opportunity to do a sole swap for that pair and hope the mold is the same lol
 
Thinking back to the miracle jobs I've seen in the past, I'd say definitely yes. Just don't expect them to hold up in a game of 21.
