interesting. explain.You HAVE to wear them.
Or they crumble.
Simples
yeah i feel you. my problem with this is newer at1 color ways are garbo. i know yall feeling the SB 49 and 50 trainers but im good with the flashy kicks. overall the concepts for recent at1s are cool in theory, terrible in execution. jerry rice bric layer? meh.... paid in full? couldve done so much better. putting any dope color way on at1 lows? hard pass.Another thought I had and wanted to add - I pretty much quit buying older pairs, just to avoid the inevitable. I know some people buy to collect but I buy stuff to wear. It sucks to pay $100+ for a shoe and have it crap out before you can get your full use out of it. So I just started telling myself no on buying pairs that are more than 5-7 years old. It sucks but it beats wasting money.

so whats left, seek out the old ish and pray they dont fall apart. ive been rocking my seersucker microstripe and legacy pack chlorophyll on the weekly just to make sure they dont crumble. theyre from 08 and 12 respectively, so i should be okay.
right. im [kind of] on the search for shimas but i know previous owners have already had issues with them, so you know its going to be a nightmare. ive really been into educating myself on restoration. if i can get these energys swapped out, i'll def look for older models. interestingly enough, chasing after at1s is cost effective compared to other kicks. i didnt even know it, but i have a handful of at1 "grails."Enh, I'm not head over heels w/ a lot of the newer ones either. What I end up doing is finding a few that I really like and doubling up on them and things of that nature. Also, joints like that corduroy - denim pair, those are nice and more true to a classic look over something flashy. Quality was pretty good too.
I don't know how sole swaps work beyond the basic idea of them. I'm pretty sure they can do almost anything but I'd personally try to go w/ a matching setup.
