My chrome 8s midsole is already starting to chip after about 10 wears from me.

my 8's are holding up very good...got the white/black/red 8's a couple weeks back and wore them a hand full of times already.

heres a pic for that guy up top asking...



and the suede on these OG raptors is pretty much done...still rock them though haha
 
these are my black cement that i been rocking since they came out in 01 i'm just scare they might crack they are already 8 years old sorry for the bigpicture

 
My retro aqua 8s cracked on me a while ago on the midsole. i know a lot of other people's aquas cracked as well. i wear them about once a month atmost--mainly to play ball so I dont know if that's the reason. The same thing happened to my cool grey 4s as well
 
that ghostbusters hat brings me back! ^^^

they need to remake that movie ASAP

let peter jackson and his team do the special effects and its a wrap!

they were ds until i rocked em and they turned out like this
 
my 06 fire reds III have started to crack on the mid-sole too, sucks because i only wore them a hand full of times...but hey wear them before you cant
 
My infrared VI are cracking on the back. The front part of the sole is coming off but I can still wear them. My Cool Grey Blue IXs are cracking too
 
I wear my CDP IVs to death. (probably about 3 times a week)

they started to crack a while ago.

but judging by how much i wear them, its nothing serious.

Its just chipped paint. Im not sure what happened to the people who have had their soles crumble.
 
no cracks on mine just paint chipping on my Cool Grey IV's but i guess you can call that normal.
 
yea i guess is normal with the paint chip because is not the same type of paint they use to used in the 80's and 90's
 
I still ball in my retro XII's from 2003 and they are surprisingly still going strong - even outdoors!!! Best $150 I have ever dropped on any shoe.

Zoom still feels like its there, and minus normal wear and tear (I only buy athletic shoes to do athletic things in, like ball shoes for BALL ONLY), they stilllook great!

Retro XII has my vote for best retro J to date. Great look, construction, and value.

i wore my black/ cement 3's and true blue 3's from '01 in the past week and have had no issues (knock on wood).

i need to break out my black/ silver 5's from '00 pretty soon though.
