The glue will be shot, but they’ll be perfectly wearable cuz the sole is stitched on. Unless it’s a patent leather pair, then it will peel where it came unglued. The airbag on the other hand is a wildcard. Dunks don’t have air so they don’t have that problem. Worst-case scenario if the air pops or crumbles you can get them fully restored for around $200. I’ve had early 2000s pairs come in firm and pop on first wear and I’ve had others stay firm for years.Common sense tells me that buying an unworn pair of 2006 AF1 is a bad idea, but I’ve seen people wear Dunks from that era regularly on NT. Anyone have any experience doing that with AF1s?
Somehow my feet grew a full size in my 30s and I had to sell a lot of my favorites that never got retro’d
Appreciate the feedback!
Can you share the style code?Always wanted these. Blessed to cop early for retail. Super dope in person!
Thanks. That’s what i was afraid of. Retail is a must cuz resale will be a mess.
Could you please elaborate?
It’s the same style code as the Kiths.
Had these back in the daySpeaking of linens, anyone else remember these?
terror squad.Glad to finish the set
First seller didnt ship or something so I got sent a pair from Stadium Goods
these are ill i love the greenMail call
Yeah, the early days of my time on NT were wild. At that time, if you didn’t live in/near a major city (basically NYC, L.A. or Chicago), you were pretty much reliant on someone helping you out, or going the eBay route. Online releases just weren’t much of a thing outside of the big retailers. Hell, I remember sending money orders for pairs purchased on eBay. MONEY ORDERS. THROUGH THE MAIL.
So having co.jp pairs release now AND actually being able to get them is amazing. So many of these older pairs were basically unattainable for me because I was a broke *** college student at the time, and size 11s (in the co.jps) were far and few between. I’m just glad that nowadays even if I strike out at retail, all I gotta do is pull my phone out and buy a pair with ease on the aftermarket.
