How long do your Jordans last?

[kingdreamzz]

Just curious to how many of y'all sneakers last.

Do you maintain them a lot or do you just rock em till their beat up and ruggid

I have some pairs that been through hell and they still in good condition besides the soles separating. Ha

 

[kintan]

I just beat them up lol

 

[alpha i caesar]

Rotation and maintenance keep them on point for awhile, then they'll hit the wall eventually down the line where they become the flyest joints you can wear while cuttin' your grass.

 

[fresh out dabox]

real long it all depends on how you wear and store them.

 

[eltouha]

at least 7 years.

Shoe's are meant to be worn.

 

[yotk13]

Wearing shoes? Where they do that at?

Oldest shoe on rotation is cool grey 2001, and 2 tour yellow 4s 2005. Still pretty on point and clean,(just retrobrite the cool grey last week.) when you get older you will
Learn to value money, and with that you have to take care of things.. I clean my shoe every 2-4 wears,.. Cool grey still intact no sole separation.

They last me years. I wear a pair until it has about $100 value and just let it go.

i havent worn my laneys or grapes yet, havent checked on them either. 03 11 lows are still icy but i only wore them 4x. It really depends if u have a steady rotation, amount of shoes, and how many beaters and casual kicks u rock in between

I still have pairs that are 10-12 years old, i find that due to me being in uniform 5 days a week and having 100+ sneakers its take a long time for me to get around to rocking pairs. Just about everything thing ive copped in the past two years only has 2-3 wears except AJ 1s as they are my go to sneakers. So things last very long for me.

 

[eltouha]

the oldest pairs i have currently in my rotation are 95 black/red xi and 99 white/red xiv, but i bought both of those DS 2-3 years ago. as for kicks i've had since release, i've just retired my 2007 black/red xx2, and my 2005 midwest xx and 2008 allstar xx3 are both on their last legs. although dirty and been through a lot of customisation, my 07 fire red 3's are still in great condition.

so considering the size of my rotation now, i reckon 7-12 years is roughly how long each will last.


i wear kicks daily

 

[futuredhughes]

I rarely get a chance to rock my shoes.

And when I do, its usually a pair I've been wearing a lot already.

So those that have a wear or two most likely can pass as DS really.

So to answer your question, they'll last a long time.

Usually sell them before they get too beat up and I can get a little cash to buy whatever's coming out. Also I rotate them so they don't wear out too quickly. Wear them for a few weeks and then give them a month or two off.  I've also thrown in sneaker shields in the ones I know I'm gonna wear a lot but unless they're a little loose, it feels kinda uncomfortable walking around in those things. My oldest current ones are my black cement 3's from 11 and they still look pretty decent.

Same here with the rotation and sneaker shield ( specially the shoes i have thats .5 big)

'94 Chicago 1's, I wear them at least once a week. Never sole swapped or anything, so happy with how they've stood the test of time.

Depends. My oldest pair if jordans are my og 12 taxis which i wore at least 400 times over 17 years. Had to reglue some parts of the midsoles after 12 years. Still wearable but the cushioning is flattened out.
least durable were my aj 28 with outsole damage after 3 months and popped zoom unit after 6 months. My aj 20 outsole where the IPS broke out after 2 years only.
My aj 5 firereds from 2000 lasted 13 years before the midsoles started to crumble in some parts.
and yes, i wear all my jordans.

Looking for bred 11 suze 7y ds only hmu

 

[sole2011]

Well many of my jordans are still ds. However; the ones that I do wear last me 10-13 years.

 

[PRIME]

They last years. I don't really keep track. My oldest pair are some 05 flints. Still NDS. I don't wear sneakers every day. So they don't ever get beat. I rarely clean them.

I'm in no rush to wear the ones I just got. But they'll eventually get worn. There's really no rush. And I really don't care if they yellow

I have about 200 pairs of Jordan's, Kobe's Lbj foams and 2 pairs of yeezy. I've been selling a lot of my
Collection on ebay and FC cause there are some I just won't get around to wear and I don't want anymore.
I really don't wanna see them crumble either. If you are gonna keep a shoe ds, keep it ds, because if you
Wear a ds shoe 5 years from now good chance of it crumbling due to stress. Vs. the same shoe worn a few
Times will be ok 5 years cause it is used to stress.
Shoes I keep ds are what I won't wear just display like paranormans or plats.
I'll wear jordan v often because they have a crumbling midsole if they just set
My oldest pair I had was 03 French blue 12. Before that was 97 bred 13
