True, but he was talking about a white based shoe. No way you’re wearing a WC for a year straight without getting to the 2nd pair.

I own about 25 pairs right now and I almost never wear the same pair more than twice a week. Depending on the weather, I want all my shoes to get worn on at least a semi-regular basis.
So I can’t really imagine needing to go to a second pair in less than a year. Frankly I can’t really imagine needing a double up after three years. Especially for someone who owns 50-100 pairs…or more.
And a triple up seems like a complete waste of money.
…at least for me personally.

I agree, unless it’s your favorite shoe, then I understand a triple up on a almost all white shoe. If I had 3 I would wear these almost everyday. 1st pair would be beaters asap

I kno. And I kno better. It's my fault. I only halfway wanted them cuz of the aged look. But, I need a pair. No more excuses

3 seems reasonable for wc if you're going to wear them a lot
JB seems to be retroing og cw less often lately and fewer per year

Reasonable.
But if you own more than 50 pairs of shoes and you wear the same pair four or five times a week for an extended period of time, imagine how many shoes would be sitting in a box, hardly being worn at all.
That being said, I’ve considered a double up on my Shadow 1s for a while now.
…just not willing to drop $450+ for it.
Hang on to it for a year or two until the price increases then dump it. By the time you got through two pairs, a new one will be releasing.

Throw some nice quality cedar shoe trees in for a month or two and paint the midsole and youd be surprised...

I’ve worn them both ways and I do think it looks better with the laces out but it just looks so clean when the jumpman isn’t obstructed haha

Restoration is an acceptable alternative to replacement. Either way dude was tripping talmbout about wearing them every day for 2 years and they were still good.

Word of advice for everyone here. Don't be in your 40s, wear some 2013 3s, and play some ball with 16 year olds that have limitless energy. It hurts your feet , your body, your soul. I gotta quit thinking I can keep up with these kids.

I’m 48 starting to wonder how much longer I can wear Jordan 1s as an everyday shoe,without becoming a cripple.
…I think I’m developing plantar in my left foot.

Insoles are the way. Got plantar in my left foot 6 or 7 years ago and never looked back. I wear what I want with no problems.I’m with you old man.

What type of insole do you wear?
I’ve been using Superfeet for a while now.
Helps, but doesn’t solve the problem if I’m wearing Jordan 1s for longer than an hour or so.

I've never found any shoe that uncomfortable so we might have different issues. Well, maybe when I first had Plantar.

I had plantar about 6 years ago and the insoles solved it in a few weeks. I haven’t worn stock insoles ever again. Might be nice for people who buy my used pairs too!

I’ve got several different types of Spenco insoles. I like the total support max which is a thicker, bigger insole. Good for bulkier shoes. The total support gel insole is thinner but very comfortable. Use those in all my mids and lows. You can grab them for about $25 on Amazon.

Will they work for the Jordan 1 “L&F”? I find them to be quite uncomfortable.
