He said only wear them 7x in 10 years
So it doesn't require cleaning I guess as he didn't wear that much.
Storing in dry location, don't wear them on rainy days might elongate the life.

I guess at some point you need to strip the midsole paint (acetone nail polish) and repaint (angelus paint) them
Mine (Nike 599425-001) DS 3 years old when I bought, paint is cracking.
I don't mind because the upper is kinda eye-catching and "dusty grey" doesn't get dirty.
And it is my indoor basketball shoe.
If I ever repaint it, I would paint it black like the OG Neon Greens.

I only wipe the bottoms before putting into closet.
I don't clean them.
The panels are "dusty grey color" that doesn't even get dirty
There are some cleaning videos on YouTube, general cleaning they use Shoenov8tor to clean it.

I think of John Lobbs and Edward Greens as forever shoes.

University Red joints... I never liked 95's ever since i got into kicks but these were an eye opener for me when i first saw em. Graduated from school, these went on sale and these were the only pair left in finishline. Picked them up on black friday so i copped for $55 wore em a couple of times and kept em on ice for a min. I think its time to bring them out again.

Even those will need new soles at some point if you wear them frequently. There's shoe repair shops for a reason.

Of course, but with proper care, resoling, reconditioning, et cetera, they can last decades.

Agreed. I should have said "sneakers", not "shoes."

You are very lucky for $55
I bought a pair 2014 DS for $80
I started wearing AM95s because The Game mentioned it in "Hate it or Love it"
The Game is one of the few rappers I like. Newer rappers looking like weirdos, acting like pimps, baby mamas everywhere make me sick.
AM95 is superb in terms of functionality. Just watch out the way you dress so you don't look like a nerd
Stupid to say but I like the word sneakers.
Eating my snickers looking at my sneakers.

bro thats crazy.. Game is in my top 10 of all time hes the reason why the west was brought back and alot of people dont give him that credit yeah Dre pushed K. Dot but Game knew him way longer and introduced him to Dre. And i feel you on the new rap **** im a young head too but some of the stuff that goes on right now aint for me.

All my kicks are in storage currently. 
I need to swoop another pair of 95's for the summer.

Can't get enough about AM95s
Went back to play basketball in Pure Boosts
Knee probs came back a bit. Had to wear my AM95s.
Not sure why a retro running shoe works so good for basketball shooting.

Lol! Like the one poster said up top "I don't wear my 95s that often".
The majority of my older shoes just have natural wear and tear on them but nothing to major.
But It also depends how old you're and how much kicks you have. If you can't afford to buy a lot of shoes and you're forced to wear the same shoes often, your best bet is to use sneaker cleaning products like "Creep or Jason Mark products". Products like those actually really work and keep your shoes looking new without breaking down as quick.
Not to judge you but I'm guessing your under 19? So once you start getting your collection up, you'll start to have more beaters, and your 95s would only be worn every now and then...
