Your best bet is to find a DS pair of DMP XI's, and call it a day.

 

[Rick Sanchez]

WOW.. Ds or Vnds
They are all

 

[mjshoefanatic]

remember kiddies shoes are meant to be worn

 

[taggpoppernj]

cant wear or the same thing will happen. this is the shoe that pulled me into the shoe game back in 95-96. it really sucks

i was 2 or 3

He couldnt really answer that, but i told him about my experience throughout the years, and he said it makes sense.


This happened to me on a DS pair of Jams 2 years ago. i didnt even make it out of the house. I took them to get professionally repaired, and you couldnt tell they were repaired what so ever.


wear you shoes man!

Ok....sure buddy

 

[ricekrispies420]

just reglue them. it's not as bad as repainting them..

and a new pair shouldnt cost you $400-500. from a couple of months of searching for some jordan xi concords or dmps. came out witht he conclusiion, for size 10 at least, the average price range is $275- $400. most common was around $350 though.

at first wantd the dmps since theyd have more icy soles and probably easier to find. but with ridiculous resellers-- usually asking for concord prices and sometimes higher, i finalyl decided to cop these>>>

$300 shipped

Thats a sick deal! nice job!

 

[Supremesbrothers]

The o.p. should just search for wearable pairs for the rest of his life lolll

seriously tho, hasnt this been discussed more than jay z vs nas?

 

[sosmoove]

I experimented with Seaglow on one pair of my Concords and they aren't close to being icy like hotbutter's. Im jealous!

First of all, I feel sorry for the guy, very unfortunate but I think something or someone made him wear those DS concords!

i had just posted a useful point in the thread asking about the importance of shoe boxes, paper and shoe trees...

[djaward]

Very nice thread.. Im still looking for my concords... I have dmps but I STILL WANT MY CONCORDS...

 

[whitevomr]

The whole mid sole of my Concords fell completely off a year ago I just glued them back together and wore them some more
