good used condition. the rubber midsole & waffle outsole shows some dryness however remains soft & flexible. 1 area of separation bewteen rubber & uppers. the colour was dark green however HAS BEEN DYED BLACK BY HAND. the dye execution is not perfect but an accomplished effort. the suede had stiffened over time even before the suede dye, which has contributed further to stiffening .THE CHECKERBOARD SCENE WAS ALSO EXECUTED BY DIY HAND & shows some colour spill. they are clearly listed as US8.5 however fit small, like a US8 & perhaps even towards a US7.5. please check measurements. see original article pre-dye here
