these look to be unworn. classically on these (assembled in usa?) transitional (puffy/cupsole) models the rubber tends to be less malleable than true usa originals & does show some discolouration & hardening to the foxing stripe only. the rubber does remain soft & flexible however may surface crack on the stripe & flake over time. significant foam usage in collar & tongue may cause dry-rot problems over time but shows no indication of doing so at present
