Wearable

I say fix'em & keep'em as a display, da mid sole looks soft...

 

[dunwitjayz]

do a sole swap with some cdp retros and your good to go . wearable ogs !!!!!!!!

 

[stuntin07]

Naw, the midsole looks dried out to me. Nothing you really can do at this point

 

[ballinb]

those will crumble if you wear them

 

[daver]

Sole supremacy super legit!! I been selling and buying from them for a while now. Is that part of there 99 cent auctions?

 

[619destroyer858]

NEGATIVE bro,"its the wear and tear",use all your kicksfellows

 

[original88]

no i picked these up for about a bill the other day

 

[luvtheshoe]

Def dried out, maybe just wear them for short times in dry (obviously) weather.

 

[original88]

so what should i do about the seperations what kind of glue works good for this kind of stuff?

 

[daver]

Epoxy glue. But clamping it so the glue can cure is the hard part. Check the care/maintenance thread. Since you plan on wearing it, use epoxy glue extrastrength..supposedly it can withstand 2000 pounds of pressure per square inch. You can find it at any hardware store.

 

[dunwitjayz]

sole swap is your best bet buddy !!!

 

[hobbyrockswiththewhitemilk]

Gorilla glue or shoe goo works best.

Same thing I was thinking. Some type of curing compound that hardens, then you would have to paint over it - so you'll probably have to paintthe entire midsole. Look at the maintenance thread, but also try contacting KVN - I dunno if he's around anymore...

nice, but no just to b safe

 

[Mactastic4167]

i advise you to just keep them as a collectible. i bought some OG Charcoal 9's last year and they have the same problem. once you wear them and they fallapart, you will be upset at yourself, believe me

 

[mexikicks38]

Sole swaping would help you out alot

 

[protoman11]

Midsoles would get a lot worse if you wear them

 

[rauls054]

just dont wear them

 

[acccord]

doesn't look promising

 

[ny giants 11]

Not wearable.

 

[airjordan7237]

im with everyone else dont wear em

 

[micheal623]

man, they look like they're ready to crumble. You can try a sole swap but is it really worth it? If the swap fails you lose 2 pair of shoes...
