Original Converse made in the USA in the late 80s, with a patch and side stitching. Both shoes have excellent side stitching. Please check the images for sole wear. Feel free to ask if you have any questions. Shoe Goo has been applied quite a bit. It can be removed. The sole side tape is slightly peeling. One of the eyelets on the inside of the left shoe is missing. This is a late 80s model with a registered mark and blue frame/blue lettering. The laces are not original. Size 9 1/2 is hard to find. Only for those who understand vintage items.
