My Jumpman Pros are starting to lose their outsoles

The outsoles on these Jumpman Pros have come loose at the toes. Like so many old sneakers, particularly from Nike, the adhesive fails after 20 or more years. At least these have no sign of midsole rot.

 

I got these as part of the haul I bought at the liquidation sale of a sneaker chain back in about 1997. $5 or $10 a pair, I bought a couple of dozen pair.

 

They are US men's size 5 , and while snug, are quite comfortable. The thin leather toebox has stretched enough to let my toes comfortably double up a little. I have worn these regularly for years. I like the small size and the nice style.
