PRIME they eventually crack.
My met 5's that recently retroed is starting to crack, although I worn em alot they are still cracking.
Had it been nubuck it would've been a different story

Wait, your 2007 Metallics are starting to crack? That's crazy, I had a pair of '00s for most of last year (wore those things like 2-3 times every week) that were still perfectly fine
Yeah, I wonder if he's talking about the Metallic V's with the blue sole from a couple years ago. My 2007's are doing fine after plenty of wear
And in any case, the V's have a very consistent and unique form of creasing on the toe box that makes the "cracking" kinda irellevent
Agreed on the cracking/creasing not being much of an issue even when it happens. The VI's seem to get it the worst.
I think those garbage 2011 Metallics were suede or nubuck though. Definitely weren't Durabuck.
The sad thing is that its my 2010 Met 5's. To my knowledge they are made of durabuck.Wait, your 2007 Metallics are starting to crack? That's crazy, I had a pair of '00s for most of last year (wore those things like 2-3 times every week) that were still perfectly fine.
For sure. I didn't get the 2011's but they seemed low quality, thin materials, and if I recall, the same "suede/nubuck" as the 2012 Black/Cement IV
VI's def have a little trouble with creasing cause of that smooth toe-box.
But if you're gonna wear your shoes you just have to come to terms with creasing

My 2007 pairs are starting to show signs of cracking
They are DurabuckThey're a far cry from Durabuck famNubuck on those. I'm genuinely still puzzled though, I'd love to see pictures.

Oh no, I have ZERO problems with my shoes creasing/yellowing/etc. I mainly meant that statement in reference to how the Durabuck on them cracks. It gets ugly on VI's
I believe the IV's were of slightly higher quality even though that's not saying much, but I'm pretty sure they were in fact the same material. Could be wrong though since I was definitely by both in hand and ended up passing.
They are Durabuck
THIS.They are Durabuck
2010 Metallic Vs were nubuck man. Definitely NOT a DURABUCK.
haha no worries B, I got you.
I was just speaking generally, Ive read enough of your posts to know you actually wear your shoes, like a true collector should
My 2012 BC IV's have actually held up pretty well as far as creasing/cracking. The suedey material is getting pretty rough though after a year+ of continuous use
I haven't seen the Xs in person yet but I will hold my judgement on the infrared shade when I get the white pair in hand and see for my own eyes. At least JB tried to give us the best shade they wanted to

Are you guys referring to the 2010 white infareds (pack) or white varsity red? Because the varsity reds were not even close to infared as it is much much darker.
I think he's referring to the White Infrareds that drop like next week, as logic would tell us that those would closest to the shade we can expect on these.
