I was about to ask if this could happen but looks like it is the case. Anyone think 3 coats of water protector is enough to prevent stains?
 
Wrong shape, no OG materials, no Nike Air.

On top of that, if I wear these 5 times - they goin' to crack on me?!

That's why I don't buy these jordans. I don't rip myself off.

Yeah they will absorb dirt and turn yellow eventually. That's how my 01 3's were, since they were not painted back then. But I'm fine with that. I'd rather deal with that than the cracked soles.

they definitely look good when you first do it, but like someone said, they will get dirty easily and if they aren't already yellowed (if they were an old retro) then they will yellow.

They look good. The only thing is that the bare white midsole will probably yellow in no time but I'd rather have that instead of the paint cracking.
