I just got a pair of Military blue 4s from uptempoair, the shoes look great. However I noticed that at the back of the shoe at the heel, the rubber isshaped a little wierd, it looks almost like the rubber has been worn down. To anyone who has a DS pair of Military Blue IVs, is the rubber on the heel likethat? I took 2 pics of the heels of the shoes . thanks!

Yea, that's how they come. The shoe isn't really supposed to just lay flat on the ground.

here is a profile pic of mine when they were DS. You can see pretty clear the rear does look "worn down" and its supposed to be like that. You arecool.

The shoe has to have a little "rock" to it..

If the shoe was flat backward motion would be awkward.

yeah just checked my pair, there the same too....it makes sense bc if there wasnt that "worn down" part in the back, it would hard to move backwarson the shoe, this way it makes it a easyly adjustable to walk back...i hope i explained it right hahaha

trust me, with the leather quality on milis, you'd know if they were even caught in a slight breeze, let alone worn
