Ditto famWell said. I'm in the "wear lightly, clean, stock, big rotation" crew. I think demographics plays a big part of it. I don't get to wear my shoes as much as I would like simply based on my career. You can call me a weekend warrior
Friday thru sunday is nothing but Js and air max

Yeah I'm on the same boat, big rotation helps keeping the shoes clean =)

I hope. But nowadays it seems like whenever a shoe gets attention, the AJ1 market notices and prices increase on the older retro.

@CharmCityKid These youngsters don't know the deal with the sneaker shields.
Here's just a few examples that might relate to that topic.
Would you wear a dress shirt without ironing it?
Would you wear a pair of slacks without ironing it?
Would you drive your car without washing it?
Would you stop going to the barber shop and start looking all ragged?
The shields keep that fresh and so clean look. Maybe some folks just don't get it....

Man back in the day people didn't use sneaker shield man (you know when people actually wore their shoes and only thought about keeping them clean instead of creaseless) creasing is what happens to a shoe man you can only hinder it but its going to happen anyway; these are basketball sneakers man, not Stacy Adams; they were meant to be played in, not to be a high fashion shoe. Schooling youngsters man you trip the great sneaker genius AirSakuragi out man!

If they are cut to your foot specifications, they are undetectable. What's more uncomfortable is wearing 1s with the factory insoles. I always wear different insoles rather than the factory issued paper thin insoles.

I agree. Growing up, there was no shields. Creases came with every shoe you wear. Only just recently (4 years ago) did I buy my first shield to see what the "hype" was. They have definitely changed my view on how certain shoes look.

Thats cool man I respect you decision, if you like them wear them but personally I don't like all that extra stuff in my shoes besides insoles. All I can say is you're doing you.

I agree. I tried the sneaker shields a few years ago and while they did help prevent excessive creasing, they were just too damn uncomfortable to wear consistently. Tried wearing them a whole day in my 2011 WC3 walking around the mall etc. and it was foot suicide for me. Even after I trimmed them
. They hurt so bad I eventually just stopped wearing them all together and only use them as shoes trees now. Maybe if they were made out of a more softer, organic material they'd work but it's literally hard plastic against your toes. Not worth it. Never tried FFs though but heard those give out after a while. I found it better to just rock my shoes naturally like I always have. My rotation is big enough that I don't have to worry about creases that do occur (shrugs).

Tried using shields before on my shadows, threw them out after. Turns out it was uncomfortable.
