I get mine cleaned if they are really bad.
But not on a consistent basis.

No one is misunderstanding. Except the guy that even bothered mentioning maybe. Some people are so touchy, you cant say ANYTHING at all. How else are you supposed to easily describe someone? He has black hair? He has both of his eyes, and a nose?He's Asian. Because, he's Asian! That narrows it down. Anyways, I've had space jams outsoles reglued by a shoe repair about 6 years ago. They came out good, but knowing what I know now, next time I'll do them myself maybe. I fixed a Pair of original 14's I have that we're separating myself. Came out Perfect. Talk to the repair shop first, see if they are confident with sneakers. And ask for some kind of guarantee before you have them touch your shoes

Took my og white/red 12s in today to get the outsole reglued. Well see how it turns out, I just don't trust myself with any type of repair, I always seem to make it worse.

Nope you never know what your gonna get back. Or if the repair was a temp fix. I rather watch youtube or check the niketalk restoration thread. Than have a stranger mess my shoe up or pull a switch a ru.....

IN my experience the cost associated with the repair can in some case you could replace the shoe on your own. Also a lot of so called repair shops say one thing and produce something of lesser quality. As we know a shoe that even warranted the repair to begin with needs precision accuracy and attention to detail. I wouldn't trust someone else to do it especially if they are not a sneakerhead.

only thing i've brought to repair shops is XII's to re-glue the soles.
from experience they use way to much glue even when i tell them not to. brought about 4 pairs in total. on the last pair i brought i told them not to glue the strips on the center to the carbon plate and they came out great.
oh and that shoe goo is x_X

once your shoe gets to the point of needing to go to a repair shop, you should probably just stop wearing it.

This is false.
I had a pair of original XI's i was saving for years, and the 2nd wear they started talking. Mint condition shoes dont need to be thrown away because the glue has dried out and can't hold anymore.

He does a great job, but charges too much, IMO
I got a quote on some 00 SJs.. Both shoes need seaglowed and the sole on 1 shoe glued back on. The whole sole isn't falling off, just under the toe needs re-glued and he said $180 plus I cover shipping both ways..lol
Damn near buy a new pair...
If he would have said $100 + Shipping, I would have did it. Hell, it's probably $12 worth of glue and seaglow combined...

Just got my 12s back... they did a good job overall but did use a little too much glue and there is some on the carbon plate. No biggie, as long as I can wear em I'm straight! Only set me back $20

Ur kicks to be repaired as work to earn his
Living, but wont treat them like his
Own babies

Does anyone know a store that can repair jordan 11 mid and sole separation, and carbon fiber plate separation. IN the Washington DC area or a shop that will accept mailed packages.

I did this for 4 pairs of my kicks but it was totally worthless, I have already refurbished over a dozen kicks, they only know how to clean bottoms and add polish, such a waste of my time.

My dog ripped one of the straps off my Aquas and I was able to take it to a repair shop and have it sewed back on.
They look perfect now and you wouldn't even be able to tell it happened.
