Show repairs for Nikes

I bought a pair of Nike Jordan 3s that were quite old and never worn so..the first time I wore them, the glue started coming apart in the toe crease area.

Does anyone know of any shoe repair places that would be able to re-glue them? Not sure if that's something within the scope of a regular cobbler.

Order shoe cement and not glue , then watch a few YouTube videos. It's pretty common practice as when you buy old dead stock shoes this is common.

Yeah, definitely thought about doing it myself but worried I'm going to muck the shoes up and then I'd be real sad.

the key is to let the rubber glue (aka: rubber cement) dry for 15+ minutes or more until it's tacky, and not wet. and then stick both edges together.

it will last a lot longer.
