    Description

    Most of the wear on these can likely be addressed with a deep-cleaning
    Kept in mostly untouched, vintage condition. Residual dirt, discoloration, and pronounced signs of age as a result.
    Notable flaws aside from dirt/discoloration: visible wear and chips in the rubber on the sole, slight smudging on the ankle/heel-badges, a factory variation between the two shoes in midsole height, and a spot at the side-stitch, near the toecap, on the inner-left shoe was once repaired (appears to have been done professionally, see photos).
    Smudging on the ankle-badges is common with Converse from this era. Mostly minimal and near the topmost portion on both shoes.
    Heel tab on the left shoe has some slight smudging, text on both shoes heel-tabs is legible and in generally good condition
    Minimal midsole wear, slightly rough along the bottom edge in a couple spots.
    Slight discoloration around the eyelets from contact with the laces.
    Insides/insoles show signs of wear. Inner-tab label is a bit worn, though legible - as are the insoles.
    Slight pilling/wear on the canvas across both shoes. There's a couple thread-ends poking out but most of the original stitching appears to be in good shape.
    These were clearly worn at one point, but they can be restored with some patience and conceded effort
    Glue marks around much of the rubber portions, as they were a bit sloppy when they made these originally.
    There's some creasing on the box from storage, but it's in good shape. Original packing paper is in-tact, though this pair is missing the insert booklet.
    Otherwise, they're in excellent vintage condition. There is discoloration, marks, scuffs, etc. They're around 60 years old and they were used; that'll happen to anything.
    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.

    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.
    This is one pair of a couple dozen vintage Converse that I'll be listing. I would be open to considering a bulk-lot sale for businesses or collectors once I get them all listed. Follow my shop for further updates.
