$350.00
- Size 8.5
- Tags are dated to 2001
- The John Smith Mat Wizard 1s came in 2 colorways. They were black and white, basically inverted of one another. The blacks were the more popular, which is this pair pictured.
- The shoe uppers are in amazing shape for their age and how much they’ve been worn.
- They still have the strap, which isn’t super common.
- The soles are getting really thin. These could last for 5 matches or 50 more, but I don’t recommend these as practice shoes unless you’re just coaching in them. They will likely need a sole swap if you use them heavily. That said, the uppers look like they still have a ton of life, so these shoes will be collectible for years to come! The soles used on these shoes are still used by Adidas today, so the sole swap would be very simple and likely cost around $100 in my experience.
- Also note on the sole is that on the back heal, one shoe has a very minor chip, as pitctured.
- The one sole does have some stitching coming undone, but no blowouts. The flaw is pictured. I may glue this shut. If you have any questions, please let me know!
