CONDITION ASSESSMENT:
FAIR CONDITION REFLECTING GENUINE WEAR HISTORY. THE RUBBER SOLE EXHIBITS EXTENSIVE YELLOWING AND OXIDATION THROUGHOUT, PARTICULARLY VISIBLE ON THE MIDSOLE AND OUTSOLE, WHICH IS TYPICAL OF AGED RUBBER COMPOUNDS. THE WHITE LEATHER UPPER SHOWS MULTIPLE CREASES FROM WEAR, PARTICULARLY ACROSS THE TOE BOX AND VAMP AREA. SCUFFING IS EVIDENT TO THE TOE BOX, LATERAL SIDES, AND HEEL COUNTER. THE WHITE CANVAS LACES DISPLAY SOILING CONSISTENT WITH AGE AND USE. THE HEEL COUNTER SHOWS COMPRESSION MARKS FROM REPEATED WEAR. PERFORATIONS TO THE TOE BOX AND VENTILATION PANELS REMAIN INTACT AND FUNCTIONAL. NO STRUCTURAL DAMAGE OR SEPARATION OF SOLE FROM UPPER OBSERVED. THE OVERALL CONSTRUCTION REMAINS SOUND DESPITE COSMETIC WEAR.

PROVENANCE: PRIVATE COLLECTION. NO ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION OR ORIGINAL PACKAGING PRESENT.

NOTE: THIS LOT REPRESENTS A WELL-WORN EXAMPLE OF THE AIR FORCE 1 SILHOUETTE IN ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION WITH NO RESTORATION OR CLEANING UNDERTAKEN. THE YELLOWING OF THE RUBBER SOLE IS A NATURAL RESULT OF AGE AND OXIDATION AND CANNOT BE REVERSED WITHOUT PROFESSIONAL RESTORATION. THESE TRAINERS ARE OFFERED AS A VINTAGE EXAMPLE OF 2000S-ERA YOUTH ATHLETIC FOOTWEAR.
