How many people here are shoe doctors?

[jimmys1985]

I need a shoe doctor, I wasnt sure where to post this so I figured I would ask here. I cracked an OG Jordan V #23, I need to get some price quotes from shoedoctors who will fix this for me.

shoe doctors are show doctors, not miracle workers
from what I've seen, if you cracked the sole your S.O.L, R.I.P to your shoe. only other option would be a sole swap i heard its hardand expensive though

Fixitmoe was able to pull it off.

Jordan V OG Cracked midsole swap

Here we have a pair of OG cracked fire red 5s, I used a retro pair as a donor. I used different techniques and equipment to take out the donor pair (which was the hardest part/you will see in my pictures.) and i had to take out the rotten/cracked midsole, which both were very time consuming.

Enjoy.

AFTER LONG HOURS OF BLOWDRYING AND WOODBURNING AND BURNING/CUTTING MY FINGERS THE MIDSOLE HAS FINALLY CAME OFF!!
OOPS I ALMOST FORGOT TO MENTION THAT I HAD TO CLEAN THE LEATHER TO TAKE OFF ALL THAT DIRT AND USED A CREAM LIKE PAINT TO MAKE THE PAINT LOOK NEW AS POSSIBLE

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn170/fixitmoe/og fire red 5z/docter 5s/P1000776.jpg

AFTER TAKING OUT THE MIDSOLE I GLUED THE SOLE AND UPPERS OF THE OGS AND THE RESULT

-REPAINT THE FRONT TOE PIECE
- REPAINTED THE UPPERS AND CLEANED THE UPPERS
- THEN APPLIED THE SOLE AND DONOR MIDSOLE WITH 2 GLUES
-WAITED 2 DAYS AND THATS YOUR RESULTS!
-THE NIKE AIR AND #23 WAS ALSO A BIT FADED WHICH NEED RENEWING I USED A MIXTURE OF WATER AND PAINT.

[jimmys1985]

I hope your being sarcastic, because its actually pretty hard to find wearable OG V's for a price thats not insanely high.

 

[larrivee7]
