    Description

    Residual dirt/discoloration from age/wear. A couple chips in the rubber, and general distressing/signs of wear across the shoes.
    Visibly distressed toward the back, near the heels
    Midsoles are quite worn, see photos
    These will probably be suited best for a collection, rather than wear.
    To be honest, you can tell how worn these just by looking at my photos.
    They will require a great deal of cleaning until becoming suitable for a collection/display.
    Most of the original stitching is in-tact and in good shape
    Laces have been cut short
    Converse tabs on the heels have some wear on the lettering - still fairly legible, though
    No odors -- mostly just in need of a decent wash/dry-clean
    Print on the insoles and the inner-tongue is legible, though quite discolored and worn
    Glue marks around much of the rubber portions, as they were a bit sloppy when they made these originally.
    They're in very good vintage condition - there is discoloration, marks, scuffs, etc. They're around 60 years old; that'll happen to anything.
    The box is in good condition with a couple small tears/creases, and the original packaging/inserts are included
    Since they're vintage, I can make no guarantees about the structural integrity of the rubber on these -- I assume no liability after they've been worn.
    These are a collector's piece. Please do not purchase them with the immediate intention of wearing them in their current state, as-is vintage.
    More photos are available for serious buyers, please judge the included ones for a better sense of their condition
    My pricing is based on third-party valuation and sold listings of comparable condition
    Please refrain from sending me messages that don't pertain to your interest in purchasing these. I don't have the time or care to stroll down memory lane.
