It would’ve been nice to get a true retro of the white cement 3s along side these

You don't want them bad enough then.
But you'd be right. If a purchase is a must (within that $$range), go with with a high end, luxury sneaker.
At least I'm confident I'm getting real leather.
Same deal with Bred1s; over my dead body am I forking that kinda dough on cheap pleather.

The retro 88's werent a good release ? Dont know cuz I dont own a pair. The current black cements is a different mold ?

I'm retail or bust. I'd definitely trade something I have for the JTH's, but no way I'm paying $500+ for a pair of shoes that retailed for $220 or whatever it was.

They were, but were hard to get for most. I owned em but didn’t value them. When they shot up to $500 I sold em

This was 2-3 years ago

I can never get enough of these things! (this angle makes my shorts look like shants, lulz)

Finally found my solution. Cop 2003 WC3, sole swap with 2018 BC 3 and have them bring the ep on the toe down just a sliver. Also tab swap. Gonna pay like almost a rack to have an acceptable pair of WC3. Gonna document the whole process and share the results with you guys when it’s done.

 

[doublemesh96]

*Also can anyone point me in the right direction to get a decent sole swap done? I’ve watched videos on it and understand the process but I’m not doing all that I’d rather pay to have it done. But I want it done by a professional with extreme attention to detail.

The toe box on the OG’s doesn’t crush your toes. TF do you guys come up with this bs?

Was just thinking the same thing. Comments about fit from people who never actually wore the shoes

Got my girl a pair of gs bc3s today for 80.00 from an outlet. We are about to be that matching couple now. Smh.

Good luck, and please post pics when done.

I considered the same thing, but just not willing to invest the time/money/resources to get a pair to my liking.

John Manalo is probably the best restorer out there. There’s a thread on his work in the sneaker showcase. He did a pair of 99 White/Black 5’s and they were flawless. It is kind of pricy and you have to be real patient too.

I did the same for my wife awhile ago, also found them at an outlet!

Anyone else have these tiny white specs on their pairs? I thought it was sap at first, but it returns after wiping off. Purchased through SNKRS and always stored in the box at the end of the day. Been wearing them fairly regularly, couple times a week.
