Nike Black and Silver Kolat 2000 Wrestling Shoes

Size 8.5
These are known for fitting a 1/2 to 1 full size small
Cary Kolat’s first signature shoe. There are numerous types of Kolat’s models that were manufactured by Nike in the 2000s.
Shoes are in wearable condition, but have many flaws from age and wear.  There is scuffing in many areas of the leather as pictured.
The soles are browned from age. The main front pads still feel grippy to the touch and do not feel dry rotted, so though I believe they’ll eventually need sole swapped, I don’t think it’s an immediate need.  The soles are flexible in my test and not hardened like some can get.
The right shoe has a minor flaw on the sole’s heal as pictured.  It’s a very minor crack but doesn’t appear to influence the shoe at all. It may have been repaired by a previous owner with shoe goo or something similar.
The left shoe has a minor slit that appears glued shut on the toe.
If more pictures are needed and you’re genuinely interested at purchasing these feel free to reach out.  I will not budge on price despite the condition as currently these are the only OG Kolats in my collection.
Nike Kolat 2000s, (also known as Original Kolat’s or OG Kolat’s), are one of the most sought-after pairs of wrestling shoes on the secondhand market. Named after Cary Kolat, former US Olympian, these shoes are almost impossible to find in this condition.  They were made over 20 years ago by Nike and have been turning heads since 2000!
