$190 usd shipped for these is fair in your opinion?

Thanks. I have an offer out on a ds pair of Bronze Medals. If they don't accept, I'll probably buy the Newspaper. I'd wear the Bronze a lot more but I like the uniqueness of the Newspaper.

This one didn't do as well. It was so bulky in the toe that when I did the reshape it causes some creasing in the toe box. The mesh is really loose now too. I think using the shoerev8r thing would have helped on a pair like to keep it stretched out.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but you may have gone too hard to fast on them.
That's what she said...
I have several pairs that are similar to that and you have prep that hard leather and extra toebox material. Its all about manipulating the polymer chain.

That could be the case. It was my 2nd pair and I was all "Oh this **** is easy, let's knock this out quick" on them. I ordered the Reshoevna8r adjustable shoe tree last night so I'm going to try to fix them once I have it.

Has anyone reshaped the color change AM1's? Will it mess up the material? Same question for the What The Pendletons?

I got my Greystones back from Jason Markk yesterday. Overall I'm happy with their service. These had been in storage for 12 years and were a bit dingy. It's hard to tell in the pictures but the white parts went from meh to really popping. The mesh had little yellow stuff under it but they were able to clean it completely. The left toe had a stain, like someone had spilled coke on them. They were able to get it out completely. The right outside swoosh had a small yellow dot on it. They weren't able to get it out completely but it's much less noticeable now.

Sorry for spamming the thread this morning but I'm bored waiting on football to start. I love this upper but I just can't do the lunar sole or the color with it. What would look good swapped onto it? I was thinking Sail OG with a clear or black bag. And maybe sail laces?

So yellowing can be removed from mesh. I have a pair or two with that problem and always wondered because I never had any luck doing it myself manually.

I wish I could get it to show up better. It's weird bc I can see it in the pics on my phone but the stain barely shows up once it's big on by cpu. But yea there was a large circular stain on the left toe and it completely came out. The rest of the white area was just a little dingy. The guy wore them a few times when he first got them and then put them into storage. All nipples still show. They weren't dirty, just dingy from sitting in a box for 12 years. Whatever they did brought it all back to life though. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to roll with them like they are or send them to a custom guy or a restorer to have that spot on the right swoosh to get painted over.

Legit check on these? Got a really good deal on these, $110 shipped. I don't have them in hand yet but these are the pics I got before buying them. They look good to me but you guys know way better than I do.

I'm still very very picky about used shoes but I was forced to come around on a few pairs. Greystones were impossible to find ds and that was a pair I was going to own. I've been looking at Huf since someone, I think it was you, picked up a pair about 6 months ago. Most that I saw were completely beat though and that leather cracks up pretty bad. This pair looks to be in really good shape though and I couldn't pass them up at $95 + shipping.

Also curious about shoe stretchers. Any testimonials?

it works. just have to be slow with it and stretch in stages so you dont tear the seams.
heres a sloppy photo swap for you.

Hey man really appreciate that. II think I really like that. I'm going to make an offer on a pair on eBay and see if I can get them for cheap. You got any other ideas for the midsole?

I can't think of anything else, honestly. I could maybe add some color to the bubble. I'm open to idea though.
