I heard it makes shoes yellow faster because of the acid in the paper. Even though the acid is very minimal, the paper does "yellow"over time. Its noticable if you compare the paper that comes with todays shoes and paper that came from shoes that came out earlier. To the OP, did you storeit with silica packs?

Reminds me of my spacejams soles coming off as well. And not because I didn't wear them but because my mom had the brilliant idea of throwing them in the dryer.

Then when I was going to switch the soles up on them my dad tells me he threw them away. Sad day for me that was.....

man I would what my man from Different Strokes ( Gary Coleman) did and divorced my folks ...just kidding

I am a first year teacher. I do the shirt/tie attire on Mon.-Thurs., but I bust heads on Fridays and the kids love it. Plus, it gives me a chance to educate them on the importance of keeping your shoe game tight...if I can reach just one then my job is done

!

preeeach! im in the same boat, all we need to do is reach one kid into keeping his shoe-knowledge up and we have done our job

nice..

I agree...just take it 2 a shoe repair store n see if dey can glue it back on....I doubt dey are dead....worth a try......

 

[tz85]

that's why i always wear my kicks and i don't really like to buy use kicks from other people sneakers are sneakers dirty or clean they still heat so gonuts and wear them outside baby!!!!!

 

[3thaman]

Don't use gorilla glue it turns yellow, use shoogoo that you can get at Wal-mart it dries clear. Those easily can be fixed.

 

[jibbycanoe]

sad story with a good moral. thanks for sharing. my condolences

 

[chrismatic413]

great post by the way
...this is the first good thread ive seen in the JB forum for some time now. there was actually something to learn and take away from reading it.
its refreshing to not read the typical, 'what should i do', 'should i trade', 'omg, interesting story', 'i want infrareds',etc, etc, posts as of late

 

[charmcitykid]

exactly! key lesson: WEAR YOUR KICKS!! why: u can't take them with u when u die. unless u plan on selling them, there's no point in keeping shoes dsforever. it is a complete waste of time & money. might as well enjoy them
