The biggest issue I see is the front toe area is stitched to the suede. It'll never be a perfect fit until you get someone to stitch all that together.
FYI. I was wearing my 2004 AT1 low og grey c/w and saw some midsole foam cracking.
This particular pair seemed to have some bubbling effect going on with a small part of the midsole. aka a soft spot since I first had them. They just finally caved in and started to fall apart. Sad news indeed.
Has anyone ever had a soft spot in a pair of air trainer 1s (or that midsole base). It's about as wide as a dime (radius wise) and Maybe two dimes in height (if it were laid flat). Sort of a pea size defect for sure.
