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.

sole swap on the 5s?Originally Posted by MECKS
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
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.
