Aqua 8s Black Friday 2015

[shelovesairjordan]

I sold my DS pair to Stadium Goods. I am currently waiting on them to sell on their website so I can get paid. I'm getting paid more than what StockX would have paid me.

I sold my pair because I was afraid to wear them after being in the box for so long.

Nah they would've been alright.

Remember the day I got these for me & my son he was 2 years old he’s 9 now ! my wife found this picture in her google back up gallery by the way I still got em

 

[pelimpe]

Still rocking my 07 .... time for a retro lol ... my playoff also crumbled on me... both shoes are upper looking clean ... but the rest is toasted...
I guess I need to reduce the collection ... the less pair you have the more wear you get

Buying brand new Jordans for 2 year olds at retail is a wild idea. I get why we do it but them kids, 1) wont remember it. 2) dont care about it. 3) Grow quickly out of them.

Best thing I did lot of stuff was do I really need this buy

 

[shelovesairjordan]

Got my pair from Stadium Goods back. I sold them on eBay for $275. Just glad that I got rid of them since I didn't think they were wearable...

Found VNDS 07s. Honestly one of my favorite pickups this year. Wanted these so bad in high school. Midsole paint looks solid (for now)

 

[truenike81]

Dope pick up but they going to crack once on feet

 

[balldontlie206]

Will be worth it got these for the low so I won’t be opposed to a little paintwork

 

[forest hills]

Might need more than a little paintwork as the midsoles could crumble and fall apart as well given their age. I'm pretty sure most of the early 2000s retros that have polyurethane midsoles are now at risk of crumbling when worn.

 

[1c3m4m]

Yea i believe ds 2007 8’s of any other colorway are not suitable for wear

 

[balldontlie206]

These really do have firmer mid soles. Hard to tell from photos but I do appreciate the advice. That’s what this community is about.

I own a few pairs of Jordans from that era which do for sure have feta cheese crumble midsoles. Whomever I bought these from stored these pretty well.

I estimate I got a year or two of random wears before it gives. Either way for $167 to my door I ain’t mad.

 

[vinnuendo]

That's what I paid for some '15s in about the same condition. Can't believe those are coming up on eight years old now

I need to check my 07s and see if the midsole will disintegrate.

 

[KanyIZZY]

Still mad I missed this retro when my 07s were wearable at the time. 07's crumbled on me in 2020 and couldn't get a pair since. Joints were practically retail for years.

Same. I passed. I know I'm in trouble. Last time I checked my aquas, they separated. No problem. Easy fix, but if they crumbled, I'm done. I stopped wearing them because of the terrible paint jobs done on kicks during that era.

Interesting that someone would go for an '07, when the '15 is already almost 8 years old and more true to the OG.

It was cheap and I had an eBay coupon.That’s why

The 07 and 15 retros seem to be about even as far as preference. A lot of folks liked the darker grey look of the 07s

 

[JRepp23]

Love both of them. The 2007 is just a wear away from chipping and I really dont want to see it on my pair. They already have hairline cracking on the midsole as far as the paint goes.
