:x IMO, I think it's doing way too much. Don't let what I think stop you though. Do you chief. Do you!

Just curious, did it to 1 pair of shoes back in middle school.

wow congrats on them 2000s yea stash them then 

I bought my 2000 concords in '02 for $190. I got lucky. They have separated but are easily fixable. I'm fixing them and putting them away. I've worn them and they feel WAY more comfortable.

that is really true though about XIs from 2000. I wore my pair of SJXI '00 and they are really comfortable. The only thing that sucked was the midsole separation. I ended up doing a wack *** reglue but it was really crappy. I am talking about glue stains all over the patent leather and midsole. So then I sold em on ebay for 200 ish and I sometimes because I miss that pair. I still have one ds but I think about just selling it if the price is just too good to pass because I know eventually they will separate whenever I decide to wear em. I don't really want to though because it is my favorite pair of all time. If I could find another pair ds and the price isn't too high and in sz 11.5, I would get em .

The waiting game for shoes coming internationally has me just

Also can I get some feedback from people that have bought before from SneakersNStuff? Legit? What you guys thought about dealing with them?

A+ shop. Shipping is fast, cheap, and the website is always up to date in terms of shoe/size availability.

The other two stores I would recommend are END (similar to SNS but based in the UK) and Overkill (email them your order and they'll send you an invoice without the VAT. I use them for the stuff that doesn't release in the US; shipping is higher than END and SNS though).

If you can, avoid Foot Patrol. Ordered 2 times from them. Both times, I had to email them after a month to ask about the status of my order. The first order arrived fine, the second one couldn't be fulfilled because they no longer had my size in stock in any of the three pairs I bought. If it wasn't for me contacting them, they would've kept my money.

took me back.

I used to do this do some of my shoes a long time ago.



Who remembers lacing up their XVIIs with designs ? "NT" "XVII" etc

 

[beh235]

You should see my fire red IVs

I sent them off to get restored way back around 2005 by a guy that claimed he did good work

Long story short... He MANGLED them

I can't get rid of them tho

I'm too attached

I would have been so pissed about that

It looks good but it's too much work for me to do that. Shell toes...

You must have rushed it. The best way to do a re glue job is to go slow and don't use too much glue. In a case like that, it's better to use too little glue and keep adding little by little instead of using too much glue.

I like those Fragment AJ1s a lot. Remind me of black toes a little.

I found E6000 in Target. Infinity barge cement you can find online. Some hardware stores might have it too.

I hate breaking in shoes. It always takes a lot of time for me to break them in.
