Had my dunks restored.
Thoughts?

they look good but a little odd?
I'm sure they'll wear into looking normal soon

upper looks pretty good, sole looks odd because it's been painted

they would look better with the yellow sole

Looks alright. How much did you pay?

Also, someone post the picture of the dunks with AF1 soles.

those look great
how did you go about repairing them?
I've got these I should probably start on, I'm gonna get some leather cleaner to kick it off
but what else can be done?
I have a cracked sole and I'm missing a staple and some leather is fucked
more pics to come

OP here
I took them to a repair shop that does a lot of designer shoes.
I'm pretty sure they conditioned and color-corrected the whole upper, added heel material, and I asked em to reinforce the whole sole.
The guy I went to knew what he was doing since he told me he worked on a couple pairs before
I paid $150 but i think it was totally worth it.
Pic is what they looked like before

I was actually missing a few staples. My guy just cemented the new heel in skipped the staples all together.
I'm sure there's a way to replace the staples if you really wanted. They would probably come out again eventually though. You're lucky your sole was already reinforced. All you probably need to do is get the upper reconditioned

here's another pic of mine

how do you guys keep your laces so clean? Where can i buy new laces for mine?

>> No.10061374

>>10061306
hmm, so it's like the new geo soles?
what should i do, or where should i go to get the upper reconditioned?

I guess you could say they're similar to new geo soles. They're still crepe soles but under new rubber that's been cemented on
cleaning/reconditioning isn't a very complex job so most shoe shops should be able to do it. since mine were so bad, I went to a shop that does a lot of designer shoes in my city. Look for reputable shops on yelp or something
