hey guys, does anyone know if I could wear a DS pair of 2007 Aqua 8's still? I wanna scoop a pair, I'm worried it'll just crack like crazy. Any input would be appreciated.

Lots of variables but in general I've had great success with 7-8 year old DS shoes.
Pretty good success with 9 - 10 year old DS kicks.
Anything above that I would not wear to ball in, just casual use.
Cracking was evident on some of the shoes, I expected that but no major catastrophic failures.

Actually, when Nike outsourced the manufacturing to China & Vietnam in the 90's the life expectancy started decreasing compared to the earlier shoes from the 80-90's. Humidity is the major culprit.
As far as I read, Adidas and another manufacturer (I don't recall) have been the only companies to address the
longevity issues and have investigated compounds that will resist breaking down.

It will happen. The 07s are notorious for cracking. I'd say pretty bad. If you want to, just get the 2015 and paint the back part from grey to the color on the 07s.

Nope, even if you try and cut it off it'll still leave the imprint which will look terrible. Just rock them as is.

The thread imprint of the jumpman will still be visible.

That white shoe polish bleached black swoosh off my flyknit trainers.. As far as the soap/detergent goes, it works okay.
I will never let those people clean my shoes again.

I buy the "white" one . when you paint it on , don't use the brush it comes with . I take a sponge and dab it so it blends better . the color dries as the same color as the shoe

I played in my cool grey 11s a few weeks back and the outsole separated 
. Trying to glue it back with E6000 adhesive now. Wish me luck!
