i thought tony hated these ?

i must've missed something

No he hated the PITA it was to get a good pair of unflawed/non-mismatched shoes. Don’t blame him.

Damn that pic looks good. But you need more black and red in your life.

Just wait until December....

Just wait until December....

[xRuck]

Wtf is this white line yall talking about? Is it laced with cocaine?

As it is on the OG.

A thing of beauty and the best XI IMO

oh no, i still hate them. But its just the QC, the shoe would be great if they could put it together

I have one decent pair but one has way softer whatever on the collar. The 'reserve' pair was completely useless aside from maybe some lunch money on a resell. Im just going to stick with the pair i put together in december. whatever

I wanted to match up the leathers but theres zero percent chance everything else will match up like this pair does

[ARK]

You legit look like Mars in that room full of Vs from that one poster or whatever from back in the day

My version from 2013.

 

[gokublack]

So the OG had the Nike air logo to the side also

Wrong thread.

 

[coldwavez]

im wearing these out the store

 

[Vile.in.Va]

When should these be on the foot locker launch locator?

 

[perfectchaosrei]

i could see buying 10 pairs of the same shoe if it's the only shoe you'll wear for the next 20 years or so.

 

[dhtowng]

Yup that’s me. Guilty...

Kinda sick. And not in a good way. I hope you get around to actually wearing all those. Pretty sure you won’t.

Yeah, the $600 is including labor and donors.

I did this with a pair of V’s and trust me it’s not worth it. Even after you swap the midsole and backtabs, the durabuck cracks easily and the netting can break. I think in any case you’re better off trying with an NDS pair, hopefully the durabuck on those is broken in. Plus with the closed cell midsole, they won’t feel like 99’s, since the newer midsoles are harder thus why they don’t crack.

Pay a professional to do it, I’ve seen plenty of sloppy swaps on the internet done by amateurs (crooked backtabs, midsoles not lining up, gaps with the soles, etc.).

Personally I would only restore a pair of I’s, III’s or VI’s, because they have less components that can break.

Sheesh alot could go wrong, but thanks for the info. Any "donor pair" suggestions?

I’ve already ran through 2 pairs for ball and wearing one into the ground casually...mind you...

This is the MAIN reason why I haven't worn my sole swapped pair of 1999's. Old Durabuck cracks, chips and fades BADLY. Hell, when I took my pair out last week, I could tell the durabuck was chipping on the top of the tongue, on the left shoe. Nonetheless, if y'all are looking for good sole swappers, check out thisccuban & mjow1999. They'll get you ALL THE WAY TOGETHER. They currently might be booked tho, so just hit em up, and be patient.

thiscuban swapped a pair of my 1999 Black Cement 4's, a pair of 2000 Black Infrared 6's, and my ULTIMATE #1 grail, the Kyle Reese Nike Vandals.











I should be FINALLY getting my Black Infrared's back, sometime next week. So I'll post pics of those in the Black Infrared 6 thread.


​

Yea man your pair looks amazing thanks for the info. I already checked out a1restorations but ill check out those guys you recommended too. I'm guessing 4s don't age and get destroyed beautifully like 1's do LOL. Cause I love my dirty chicagos getting better with age.

Ran through two pairs for ball since December? You must hoop everyday single day. On concrete.

About to head out to see Endgame again...Third wear this week...Might turn into some beaters if this keeps up...

Any of the recent 4’s, or if you want to get a cheap donor a pair Air Flight 89’s could work.
