Away from windows, away from light. Inside your closet, in their respective boxes. If you have shoe paper in the boxes, make sure they are not "brownish" color. Those are the bad kinds of paper. You can just throw those away. Light = bad. Humidity = bad. Moisture = bad. Dry = good. Cool = good...
Keep an eye out for peeling on the midsoles. There is a HUGE forum about it here on NT. You may notice the sides of your shoes peeling or cracking. It happened to my Flip's after 3 wears
This is such a hot topic debate. Saran wrap vs Ziploc. Paper box vs. Plastic. This list goes on and on. I won't go into crazy detail, but I will tell you the basic guidelines. #1) Shoes do not like heat or moisture. Heat can cause glue to lose their grip on the soles which could case sole...
I just went today the Nike Outlet in Sunrise, FL. They had some ok stuff. Nothing spectacular on the hash wall. They had a lot of clothing for cheap and I picked up 1 coupon for myself. They don't like to just hand them out to anyone, but I was really nice about it and they let me have one for...
My only pair of III's I've ever owned or currently have are the Flips. The midsoles started cracking and peeling after the 3rd wear. Its not that noticeable, but it does decrese its luster and mystique. I didn't know that the III's had a bad history of peeling before I bought my Flips. I can't...

The quality of Jordans nowadays is the reason why I will be retiring soon. I have only 3 shoes left to cop and I want to call it quits. The Concords, Cements, and Red Foams. Yes, the quality of retros cannot match with the quality of the OG's. JB is making RIDICULOUS money. We all hear the...
Hmmmm. There are currently two different molds out there for the foams. Will we get the mold of the 2009 eggplants or 2010 eggplants??? 2009 had much better grooves and a brighter CW. The 2010's were down in quality. I've been waiting for these for about 2 years now, and if Nike efffs these up...

He's (smoove) is referring to the Kobe V "Mile's Davis" edition. I have a pair of my own. A very underrated CW IMO. I always got compliments on those. I call them the "smurfs". I always rock them when I'm taking Smurfette out on a date. I'll take her right in the smurfing lot and smurf her...
For so many years I had waited for these to drop, but when I saw the preview pics, my heart sank. It's still too early to tell, but judging by the pics, the color seems dull and flat. I was hoping for more of a bright, metallic, shiny red. I'll still wait on further pics, but I hope this isn't...

I definitely understand about the frustration. I also cringe at times when Nike puts out so many foams. Some of the CW's are just horrible. Oh and BTW, if they re-retro the VI Carmines again, I'm going to quit the shoe game. Ain't what it used to be...
These are only rumor people. Don't get your hopes up. The pics are PS and the red might be like the cranberry red from the penny half cent which I did not care for. Hopefully, the metallic red will be more of a bright red. I'm pretty sure (85%) that these will drop. There isn't too much info out...
This was pretty much expected. So far it has been the release of the XI/XII CDP Breds, XI/VI DMP, Space Jams, Cool Greys, and Silver Anniversary editions. The Columbias was undoubtedly next. I would just like to say that I hope they do not release the Breds. Just hear me out. I don't like shoes...
I'm not a fan of the washing machine. I just feel that it's too harsh on the materials. I would just gently scrub with a soft toothbrush (usually 1 dollar at walgreens or CVS), and tide colorsafe detergent (any detergent is fine really, but if you have tide, it's better). Then gently dab the...
Yes, I have been hearing rumors on the releases of foams that are due to come out later this year and at the beginning of next year. Now, the news was first released on sneakerfiles which has a good track record of reliable info. But of course, the Red Metallic Foams were supposed to release...
The plus white whitening gel is help with the yellowed portion of the midsoles. I've used it one my 1's (oreo CDP) and it does help. If there are scuff marks, thats a whole different story. I'm sure you could find something on re-painting if it's that bad. And I'm probably going to not wash my...
