Help with what I need have to do, to get these two beauties back on track!

I've just bought a bundle of high end early 2000 Nike Air Air Max 90s with a lot of them needing sole swaps which is fine. But on both their 'running man's' and the 'Steve Nash Suns' the mudguards need some work. Looks like the yellow leather has worn on the 'running man's and some of the cool artwork markings have worn away on the "Steve Nash's. What's the best method of getting these sorted?

Ok, these Jordan 1 Breds have a bizarre coincidence and I need some help with them.

I bought these vintage Nike Air Jordan 1 Breds in a big sneakers bundle but I'm a bit confused by them. First the label says they were made in 2003 but i thought these ones came out in 2001 and not sure they were still making them two years later. The other very strange thing is the unique serial number on the back of the tongue. It says 1985 of 2003 which is a very strange coincidence because as we know 1985 was the first year the Jordan 1 was launched and the 2003 is the year this actual pair were made. Any ideas what all this means because I'm stumped 😂🤷

Here's a rare pair you don't see that often

I'm a reseller and recently been on an Air Max buying spree with some amazing vintage pairs coming into stock. However, I was on the fence with these but in the end just bought them because I thought they were a bit different and very cool. I received them today and considering they are 20 years old, the midsoles are still solid, so I'm wondering if they used a different material to make them due to them being more of a walking boot. Any ideas?

I'm struggling to source the correct outsoles, any help?

I've recently purchased a bundle of 20 high end vintage Air Max 90s and some of them have been stripped down ready for a sole swap by the previous owner. However, in their wisdom they didn't keep the outsoles treads so now I have to source both a donor midsole and the outsole tread for each of them. Because they are collectors pairs, I don't know how or where to source the correct colours and because I will be reselling them once I've done the swap, I need them to look original or collectors won't pay the higher prices. Does anyone know how I can source the correct colour soles?

I've attached a couple of photos of some of the pairs!

Something a bit different from your normal SB Blazers

I picked these up for a bargain yesterday. Something a bit different from your standard blazers. These are not even retail samples, they are pre-production samples that were sent directly to Nikes headquarters in Beaverton. I wonder what the back story is on these and how they ended up in the world of reselling.

What's the best donor sole to use?

I'm about to dive into the world of sole swapping and need advice on which are the best soles to use.

I'm going to be putting on a new sole onto a 2007 Air Max 90 Hufquake UK size 9. I know they changed the sole shape around 2010 so a bit stuck on what year of the air max 90 I should be looking to use. The photo is of the pair I'll be putting the sole onto.

Is it worth buying these Air Max 1's West Pack

I can buy a pair of air max 1s West Pack 2009 with the uppers in excellent condition but the sole has crumbled so needs a new sole swap. It also comes with the original box. Is it worth the hassle to pay for this work to be done and then sell them on as I'm a reseller?

I'm not sure how much a full sole swap and midsoles pair would cost but the shoes are only being sold for £3 ($5).

Bring back the strap!

I wish Nike would bring back the strap on the SB mids from the 2000's. They just hit different! These are a pair of mine and the strap makes the sneaker work! What's everyone else's thoughts on the strap?

Icing timings

I've just set up an icing box with a full spectrum led unit and I was wondering if different lengths of time are needed for different types of sole. I'm mostly doing the soles of Vans and Converse which are a lot softer than say a Jordan sole. Does this make any difference in the length of time and any tips to consider?

Are there people who we can employ to help with the collection of out dogs good stuff?

We are looking to get into breeding our male fluffy french bulldog as he comes from a very good line of Champions. I believe his dad, and uncles sperm is sent all over the world from the UK. Though this is the route we'd go rather than having dog on dog interactions, we are grossed out by the collection process, so are there people that we can employ that would do that part of the process, pack it in the correct manner and then send it off around the world? for reference, we are in Hampshire in the UK and I've attached a photo of our boy. he's still a youngster so still a while before we look to breed him.
