Service Overview: This is a professional sole swap service for Air Jordans that feature Durabuck uppers. Durabuck is a soft, synthetic material that look like suede or leather, but becomes brittle with age. Because of this, the process requires extra care and precision to reduce the chance of flaking or cracking. This $750 service includes the donor pair used for the swap, and it reuses your original outsole. Each pair is handled with careful preparation and bonding to preserve the upper’s structure and appearance. Service Details: Full removal of the original sole and cleanup of old adhesive Reuse of the original outsole for a more authentic result Careful realignment and bonding using Barge Cement Controlled heat application to avoid damage to the Durabuck Special attention to minimize stress on the upper during bonding Durabuck Precaution: Durabuck can easily crack if excessive pressure is applied. To prevent this, I leave a small separation along the edge where the midsole bonds to the upper. This allows for natural flexing and helps preserve the material over time. Included in Price: Donor midsole Labor and materials for the full swap Reuse of original outsole for authenticity Recommended For: Collectors or restorers who want their pairs restored for display or light wear while keeping as much of the original sneaker intact as possible.

Service Details Complete removal of the original sole and cleanup of all adhesive Alignment and bonding using professional sneaker restoration adhesives Controlled heat and pressure to protect the upper from distortion or burn marks Donor midsole and outsole installation included in the service Hand-finished detailing for a clean, durable result Important Notes: Each project is performed with care to maintain the original shape, stitching, and texture of the upper.

Service Overview: This is a professional sole swap service for Air Jordans with Durabuck uppers. Durabuck is a soft synthetic material that mimics suede/leather, but becomes fragile as it ages. It must be handled carefully to avoid cracking or flaking during restoration. This $700 service includes the donor pair used for the swap, but it does not reuse the original outsole. The entire sole unit is replaced for a clean, refreshed finish. Service Details: Full removal of the old sole and adhesive cleanup Installation of a full donor sole (no reuse of original outsole) Sneaker-grade adhesive bonding and precise alignment Controlled heat process to prevent Durabuck damage Careful handling throughout to protect the upper Durabuck Precaution: To prevent premature cracking, a small separation is intentionally left between the edge of the midsole and the upper. This prevents tension buildup and allows light flexing over time, protecting the material from stress. Included in Price: Donor sole (midsole and outsole) Labor and materials for the full replacement Protective handling for Durabuck uppers Recommended For: Restorations where the original outsole is damaged, oxidized, or beyond repair, and the owner prefers a complete sole replacement for a like-new appearance.
