I Found $10,000 1985 Air Jordan Chicago 1's at the thrift store

What are the chances that that I found these rare Air Jordan's from 1985? They're still in great condition. I got the pair for $15! What a crazy deal. Am I able to restore them and bring them back to life?

I should post my video about how I found a mint Lamborghini Miura at the local car auction for $500.00. I only had 3 dollars in my bank account but the $532.00 overdraft fee was worth it. The rubber on the tires was from 1968 , was the hardest tire swap I ever done. 60s Italian rubber was god tier. Since I just happen to be a Lamborghini Miura restoration specialist I will post a video of the whole restoration. This was not a staged event at all.

[@garysimon3725]

Great job! This is the first I’ve seen a sneaker broken down and worked on like that. I think it’s a great enhancement, but, does replacing the original sole devalue the sneaker?

[@WizardingPa]

it does of course! but it's impossible to use as they're 30 year old shoes, sole will start to crumble and destroy itself. doing this process makes it wearable and usable, and probably a amazing decoration too. as you said, it devalues too, you choose!
