US11.5/UK10.5-11 (gum waffle outsole portion measures 29.9cm)

THESE ARE UNWORN BUT DEFECTIVE! the right shoe shows all the hallmarks (impression marks, flat spots osnaburg canvas texture) of rubber curing/solidification however remains on the most part soft & flexible. the left shoe on the hand shows little indication of damage however the midsol has become brittle almost throughout! this will lead to cracking & flaking of rubber. the waffles & bumpers remain intact however the midsole is effected widespread & you will experience separation from uppers upon bending & cracking. they will hold up at the foundation over time but with rubber loss. 1 oil(?) stain on the waffle of left shoe. never seen fat black laces but confident they are original.  both printed 11.5 but may fit big like 12. check measures
