any one feel like crying?

[adamfo85]

so, if you dont want this to happen, other than wearing them how do you store/take care of them so that they wont do this? any ideas?

 

[stayfresh25]

exactly why i rock my kicks...rather break necks than soles

 

[acccord]

[twinsnyc]

Damm that sux, sorry for you man.

 

[23sole collector23]

Only if you don't know how to restore them.....

 

[pinoy732]

a lot of you seriously have to read before posting
smh

 

[mjand2345]

They cracked like muffins. I have this happens to me only about 20 times over.

 

[jezzurr]

Wearing my DS Ewings was probably nota good idea...

 

[mjand2345]

Whether you wear them or not, is not the issue. The fact is they already cracked, it didnt matter if you wear them or not.

 

[thekidep22]

Damn thats crazy

 

[ogfiend]

Note to self.....DO NOT UN-DS '99 V Retros.

It's sad...not only the OGs are crumbling now, first generation retros are soon all going to be unwearable.

I wonder how recent releases will hold up.

Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Keeping them out of sunlight and dust will help you maintain the shoes looking good for when you're ready to wearthem. There's nothing worse than opening a box of shoes you had been storing for a long time only to find out they've yellowed due to the fact thatthey've been dried out and stored next to the heater!

how long do you think the retro grapes will hold up mine are still on ice

 

[airuphere23]

I wear all of my shoes. I don't know know why people are so scared to wear a pair of shoes.....

You pay all that $ and you just stare at them from time to time wondering if or when you'll ever wear them or sell them. Stupid!
