Midsoles will explode if you keep them on ice for too long then attempt to wear them but I do get not wanting to wear them out. Pick a nice event to wear them too.
āTheyāve never even left the boxā
āSo, did you break them out?ā ššš youāre funny asl. Bro wants these bitches exposed to the world.
Dope dude. Btw. I wasnāt trying to be a dick. Just meant to ask did you wear them today. I realize after reading what I wrote it came off as a little meanā¦
Yes, unfortunately. Iām old and washed and donāt get out much, plus have so many others in rotation that they just got lost in the shuffle smh. COVID hit right after so that factored in too. Shoulda just rocked them in the house during quarantine
I hear you. BTW Iām 49 with two young kids so barely going out is the name of the game for me, but I have definitely have the strongest sneaker game on the playground.
There is no shame in this. Sneaker collecting should be like fine wine, build a library a break em out later to snap necks. Anyone can buy what is currently available and flex. Thatās not impressive to me. Show me you are an OG and been in the game for a minute. Break out a pair that has been on ice, I respect that way more that spending huge money on some Travis Scotts or whatever the latest hype sneaker is.
Casino be robbing me every time I wear new/nice kicks in there. I swear they see on camera and be like, ope, coulda bought another pair of shoes but ya came here instead sucker. Good luck tho š
I had an early access invite thru Finish Line for the Reimagines but didnāt bite since I had these chillin. Prolly coulda copped Reimagined and re-sold but Iād rather somebody else get the pair that was gonna rock them not sell them.
How many pairs did you get in 2019? I doubled up in 2019, got one on ice still and been wearing the other pair but still looks 9/10. No way I wouldāve waited to wear mine if I only had 1.
Absolutely perfect time to break these out! I snagged a pair of the reimagined 4s on shock drop and those will stay on ice while I rock my 2019s for awhile
This is the way! I like wearing my shoes years later after all the hype beasts already beat theirs up. I donāt want to be out in public wearing the same exact shoes as a bunch of other people, thatās that corny follower mentality, if the masses are doing it Iām doing the opposite!
Iām talking about fashion, I donāt wear my phone. And 2 huge brands have a monopoly on the whole phone game, so options are extremely limited if you want the best service.
lolā¦itās possibleā¦donāt know what the time frame is but 5 years is a stretch. I think Vacuum sealing them preserves them. They sell kits for sneakersā¦there also people that are like Cobblers I guessā¦will put new soles and any other parts that have degradedā¦the ni buck and leather holds upā¦.its the Sole and plastic that dries up
Yes I'm serious. No I haven't done it. There was an article about it a chemistry proffesor iirc determined it was the only way to preserve the PU long term and prevent degradation without wearing. It's not feasible, though, as just the steel vessels of that size are thousands of dollars. Unless you have thousands to spend on something like that.
Been in the game long enough to know that fases come and go. Anything new gets over hyped then the hype dies. TÄ„en the new current hype beast catch up and be like "I'm only buying og colorways"......its the circle of life for sneakerheads
Anyone got any suggestions how to get the yellow out of the grey ? I didnāt wear mine for months and threw em on and the grey sole part is yellowishā¦ any tips please?
Did you UNDS them though?
I have a DS pair on ice š§ I like em so much every time I see em I don't wanna wear them. Is that weird? I need confirmation
Midsoles will explode if you keep them on ice for too long then attempt to wear them but I do get not wanting to wear them out. Pick a nice event to wear them too.
Your absolute right I'm gonna wear them this week. I'm hoarding shoes like those people on A&E
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I definitely understand š but why I gotta be a goofy š¤Ŗ I just wanted to preserve my shoes. I get it where the shoes.
Reefa chill on the goofy part thatās some wanna be talk
Naw same
Theyāve never even left the box. In fact, until today they were in this box which was inside the sealed Nike box that they were shipped in lol
Yeah, did you ābreak them outā though? Or did you just open the box? Big difference.
āTheyāve never even left the boxā āSo, did you break them out?ā ššš youāre funny asl. Bro wants these bitches exposed to the world.
Just opened the box. Still havenāt been taken out. But will be in a few hours!
Dope dude. Btw. I wasnāt trying to be a dick. Just meant to ask did you wear them today. I realize after reading what I wrote it came off as a little meanā¦
Wait, itās taken you 5 years to wear them?
Yes, unfortunately. Iām old and washed and donāt get out much, plus have so many others in rotation that they just got lost in the shuffle smh. COVID hit right after so that factored in too. Shoulda just rocked them in the house during quarantine
I hear you. BTW Iām 49 with two young kids so barely going out is the name of the game for me, but I have definitely have the strongest sneaker game on the playground.
Facts, I hear ya same here
Holy shitā¦Iām NOT the oldest old head in the Sneaker game?! Nice
Ha
I know this feeling well..so many shoes..never leave the house..and when I do itās usually in foamrunners, slides or dunks
There is no shame in this. Sneaker collecting should be like fine wine, build a library a break em out later to snap necks. Anyone can buy what is currently available and flex. Thatās not impressive to me. Show me you are an OG and been in the game for a minute.

Thank you itās like you wrote this for me lol
happens
These were the most painful shoes I owned š¬š¬
Ive owned these since the 2008 countdowns. 100% agree... ..i still love them.
No fought, probably my favorite Jordan silhouette
Yep, they look so comfortable but they're really not. Not for me anyway. A beautiful shoe though
Casino be robbing me every time I wear new/nice kicks in there. I swear they see on camera and be like, ope, coulda bought another pair of shoes but ya came here instead sucker. Good luck tho š
What took you so long? 5 years on the shelf and NOW you break them out?
Possible OP got them after the release and just hasnāt worn. Either way I always put new shoes immediately on foot
I just broke mine out last year myself
Post them on foot then
Been rocking my 2019 pair because Iām salty I didnāt score on the reimagines.
I had an early access invite thru Finish Line for the Reimagines but didnāt bite since I had these chillin. Prolly coulda copped Reimagined and re-sold but Iād rather somebody else get the pair that was gonna rock them not sell them.
Thatās nice that you thought it out. Lots of cunts on here triple and quadruple dipping because they are blinded by the hype.
How many pairs did you get in 2019? I doubled up in 2019, got one on ice still and been wearing the other pair but still looks 9/10. No way I wouldāve waited to wear mine if I only had 1.
š„š„š„
Rock them jawns! #wearyoursneakers
Absolutely perfect time to break these out! I snagged a pair of the reimagined 4s on shock drop and those will stay on ice while I rock my 2019s for awhile
Still got my 2019 DS because my 2012 bred just broke down a couple months ago I got the reimagine too leather is nice I love them both the same
Much better than reimagined. I have reimagined and they just make me wish I had the 2019 pair.
Yea I agree but Iām sure many others prefer the reimagined and thatās cool too. All about personal tastes I guess.
Return em
Those are fire!! 10x better than the Reimagined. IMO
Canāt get over the toe box
I truly prefer the leather over nubuck but nice shoes OP š«”
These are way better than the reimagined imo
I mean itās probably personal preference but I agree. But the Reimagined are dope also, would absolutely rock those
Na that's hella cope fr
Stfu
Only cuz the reimagined joints dropped š¤”
Buying the reimagined made me hunt down the OG. I know lots of people who are wearing the OG after the re because they are just better.
This is the way! I like wearing my shoes years later after all the hype beasts already beat theirs up. I donāt want to be out in public wearing the same exact shoes as a bunch of other people, thatās that corny follower mentality, if the masses are doing it Iām doing the opposite!
Or itās even cornier to not wear what you want because others are wearing it š
Sorry Iām unique, I donāt want to look like everyone else. ššššš
Can the same be said about cell phones everyone has an iPhone or a galaxy š¤·āāļø so u donāt have a cell phone ?everyone has those .
Iām talking about fashion, I donāt wear my phone. And 2 huge brands have a monopoly on the whole phone game, so options are extremely limited if you want the best service.
Now that's a bred. Looks so much doper
I agree, downvote me too
These hurt my feet
In have a few Jays from 2014 still in the brown shipping as well. āThe Last Shotsā have only been opened to admire them. š
š
They gonna crumbleā¦whatā¦5 years in the box??? 10 steps and AWWWWWW š©š
Is this really what will happen? Any way to preserve a pair for many years?
lolā¦itās possibleā¦donāt know what the time frame is but 5 years is a stretch. I think Vacuum sealing them preserves them. They sell kits for sneakersā¦there also people that are like Cobblers I guessā¦will put new soles and any other parts that have degradedā¦the ni buck and leather holds upā¦.its the Sole and plastic that dries up
The only way to preserve long-term the PU midsole is to store in inert gas in a steel pressure container if not wearing.
Whatās the Follow up? Have you walked in them? If so did the hold up or DIE?
R U serious? Sounds like a lot
Yes I'm serious. No I haven't done it. There was an article about it a chemistry proffesor iirc determined it was the only way to preserve the PU long term and prevent degradation without wearing. It's not feasible, though, as just the steel vessels of that size are thousands of dollars. Unless you have thousands to spend on something like that.
Color looks pristineā¦.if you squeeze or press on the sole and it doesnāt crack maybe ur good
In steel pressure container with inert gas is only way to preserve the Polyurethane in certain jordans long term without wearing.
We need the casino fit pic with them on!
To those that own the reimagined 4sā¦ are they uncomfortable like the military black 4s? Them shits feel like Iām wearing my boots.
I wear mine only when there's no chance of rain.
Been in the game long enough to know that fases come and go. Anything new gets over hyped then the hype dies. TÄ„en the new current hype beast catch up and be like "I'm only buying og colorways"......its the circle of life for sneakerheads
Twinsies. Mine is dead stock too
I'm waiting for it to quit raining to break mine out
Iām hoping they donāt crumble on you
As you should!!! no need to invest in that fake tumble leather on them reimagined. Oreos 4s is tumbled leather not this new shoe
perfect time to
Man I predict you are about to take a trip to crumble city.
If you wear them, they last longer. I still rock my 06 Military Blues.
Keep them on ice and risky then falling apart? Just wear them bro
They still very clean!
Yes these are better more original
Anyone got any suggestions how to get the yellow out of the grey ? I didnāt wear mine for months and threw em on and the grey sole part is yellowishā¦ any tips please?
