Anyway, to the OP, you're nuts for balling in 9-10 year old shoes. What did you expect?

How ironic is it that you critique him about his contribution to this thread when you didn't make any significant contribution to this thread either
Side Note:
Glad you used the proper spelling of "you're" and not "your" like everyone else.

So here's the thing. I just took it only to one shop just now and they refuse to do it cause they can do the bottom, but not worth their time to do the sides as well. Did you get any hassle at all when you did yours and also was your whole sole separate or partially separated?
I need to go around and ask a few more shops and see who's wililng to do it.

Yes folks, they are old, but they are still basketball shoes with little wear over the past 10 years. I actually hoop in my Mikes once they have been worn enough. There are some that still haven't seen the court (23s for example)...and I never implied they were the '10 version.
I will likely take them to a shoe repair shop as I don't have the time or patience to repair the shoe.

Kind of a bad deal for you but you don't hoop in shoes that old and not expect bad things to happen.

Better that they were honest. I didnt get a hassle whatsoever. I took them in, showed the man what happened and he took them right away. We small talked a little bit and i asked him questions about how sturdy they'd be etc.
He said you can wear them like you would a brand new pair. They look and feel 100% the same as when they were new. I wore them about 12 times, and havent had 1 problem. Until the left one separates as well lol. At that point i'll take it to him and get that one fixed too.
I have 3 pair of original Jams. All of different yellowing levels. But the shoes themselves are in mint condition. You cant help this when it happens. Its inevitable. Glue gets old and brittle. Some last longer than others. Good thing about 11's is that theres nothing to actually deteriorate or crumble. All that can happen is separation, and its easily fixable.
Seaglow will make them separate early too. It does something to the glue. I've never seaglowed any of my 11's and never will. The yellow doesnt bother me at all. its just going to keep coming back anyways.
Keep trying shoe repair shops until you find a place that knows what they're doing!

Man thank goodness the shoe repair shop next to my house will do them and only for $19.95! I'm so happy. Less work for me and more professional job! Maybe I should take apart my space jams and have them redo them again.

Why dont you ask them if they can do that for you too? Taking it apart i mean. I dunno, i just dont like messing with this stuff at all. I've seen people do some pretty stupid stuff to their shoes trying to be a shoe repair commando.
Congrats btw. post pics if you have them.
I'd take pictures of mine, but i dont have 'before' pics, and the 'after' just looks like a regular space jam, so its pointless

^^ I did some sole swap. It was a PITA, but who knows. taking them apart might be some work for them cause it's pretty glued onto there

Better than crumbling foam, which is basically not reparable.

Happened to a pair of my SJ's from 01, but I also used them for work and wore the heck out of them.
