Can't be a custom since they haven't retroed Air Raid 2s. The 2s are a different shoe than the 1s. Different straps different side panels. Def real and it's luck of the draw as to wether OGs crumble or not.

If shoes are stored properly, and worn regularly, there's a good chance they'll be wearable.

had the OG black n grey as well, Sophomore year in High school give or take. Classic Tim Hardaway commercial was dope for em. I asked sometime last year and a reliable source hit me up and said we will see three colorways this year. One had some gold, the other was the crazy colored joint and then similar to the OG Black ngrey. ENJOY

Key Word: "Regularly"
Once you let that Phylon Mold settle & dry... it's a Wrap, bruh.
Gotta wear your shoes... not all the time, but atleast every few months.
They're like a Human Body almost... yea, it gets old over time, but if you keep it Active along w/ maintenance, it's less likely to crumble.

^I feel what you're sayin. Not ALL og's crumble. I can testify to that with both of my '92 Maestros. Same with my original Flight Lites. Ungluing and some suede/nubuck cracking yeah. But none of my non air max Nikes are dead. My Columbia 4s, Diamond Furys, Air Swifts(Pippen), and Ballistic forces all crumbled, all in the same spot around the air max window. Everything is 22+ years and goin strong.....

everyone thinks they know the way to store vintage but the truth is none of us really do...maybe for aesthetic value then maybe....
sunlight
humidity
pressure on the soles
temperature
all play a factor but nobody knows the perfect formula for foam midsoles.
been wearing my 3s since 2002 and they just started cracking on me.
foam midsoles are just gimmicks anyway,made to breakdown quicker so we by more product.i wouldnt trust any foam midsole worn or not after 10 years.

Weren't they like $115 last time they dropped a few years ago? I'd say these are at least $125-$130 this time.

Yea, you would think that given the fact of the low demand, and what a reasonable increase would be, but I'm preparing for $140-150.
And if they are $150... I don't think we can wait til they go on Sale with the OG Grey/Black. I gotta feeling those will sell out in a few weeks, similar to the OG Retro Gloves.
Everything else after it will sit for MONTHS and will probably be great steals well Under $100.
