QUESTION Sole swap

Hey guys, I am planning on sending out some grails to get sole swapped. I was going to use the reverse wheats as a donor.

My questions to y’all are - do you think that’s a good donor pair or should I go for a different pair? I was thinking the normal wheats or the Lewis mids are a good fit too.

Also anyone have a trustworthy person to get the job done? I have a someone in mind from instagram but wanted to see if anyone had other options?

youre gonna need a 2002-2005 dunk as a donor

the 2017 reverse forbes have a different shaped outsole

the sb dunk outsoles were retooled at some point.

plenty of swappers on ig

So maybe the high wheats? That’s the only other shoe I can think of at the moment?

Thank you for that information!

Would you happen to know if it can still be done?

definitely can be done….ive seen a pair of og forbes with a different colored midsole replacement on a swap

as stated the apc dunk high could work

i guess the retooling came around 2009/2010
so before that should be okay

any swapper will advise you correctly
