If worn in rotation, and if the shoe is the correct fit for your foot, I'd say the sneakers could easily go for 3, 4 or even 5 years. There are multiple examples of this online from sneakers using Margom soles. Same goes for the uppers, if they are conditioned correctly and worn in rotation.

i would just get 2 if one is really worry about resole.

i only wear sneaker on weekend but I put miles on it (like 3 to 5 miles every Saturday/Sunday), my old jcrew/Nike minimalist sneaker’s sole survived on that basis more than 8 years (I throw away because of upper, bottom did loose some traction but I’m not use these for climbing so who cares)

I also have 'beaters' in my collection and then a smaller selection of shoes I only wear occasionally. The reason is not the wear, but because I want to be able to wear a more pristine pair on times that it matters without first having to clean or polish the sneakers/shoes.
