'94 Air Jordan 3 White Cement Legit Check

I didn't realize these were sole swapped.

I saw a ds pair of these sell for $600 a few weeks ago. Since these have been swapped, they don't have very much collectors value anymore. I would think $360 is reasonable if you just want these to wear. Maybe offer him $325? It's up to you
 
He said $360 is the lowest he'd take. But thanks for the heads up! Reps given thanks to you!
 
There legit. From a 20 year old sneaker what do you expect the condition to be? IMO they look great. I'd pay $360.
 
The uppers are in very nice shape. It doesn't look like he did a very good job swapping them though. It looks like he tried sanding down the midsole? Or maybe he cut away at the midsole to make it fit the outsol better? I can't tell, but it doesn't look very good.

It also looks like he painted the backtab and the toe caps to make them whiter, when he should have used retrobright or seaglow. They wouldn't be a bad project for 360, but as of now they look pretty rough. You could reswap them and remove the paint in the back tabs, but that is a lot of work especially for someone without much experience. If you're up to the task, I say go for it.
 
I'll be willing to work on these as my first project on vintage jordans. I just started collecting early retros from '00 and below and apparently all of the shoes need swaps on them, i'd start off with these first though.

ah, ok. 3s and 4s are both fairly easy. 6s are a pain in the ***, especially the 2000 infrareds. stay away from doing any of those until you get better at it
 
Lol sounds hard now that i think of it, but i'll practice on beat pairs also that way i won't mess up on the swappings.
 
Why would you want to "collect" sole swapped retros man? Your wasting your time and $ IMHO.. Think about it like this.. You gonna spend $350 on these bad boys, pay another $150-$200 for a doner pair, spend 10 or more hrs of your time and money on products TRYING to make it pretty and right. So in the end you have a pair of shoes MAYBE worth $250 or so but you have $600 into.. Sole swapping actually takes away from the value of the OG product..It just seems very counterproductive if you ask me..Honestly you will NOT be able to sell these to any collectors in the end.. Your just gonna be stuck, and you WILL NEVER get the money outta this "collection" you may think they are worth...So my question is why not save yourself 10 hrs of your life and $300 and just get a retro you can wear?
 
I buy shoes to wear and keep not resell. I buy what I like and I understand they'll lose value becuase it doesn't have the OG midsole. I just buy to wear.
