I wear mine regularly (Royals and Breds), and leave them out of the box as well. I don’t have glitter on either one of them. I also just use baby wipes to clean them instead of shoe cleaners.

I know people have said that if you wear them they’ll get glitter, but do those people put them back in the box after wearing them?


I know we’ve already established that it’s a chemical in the leather that causes it, just trying to see if there’s a way to slow down or minimize the glitter problem
all pairs in my rotation get pretty much the same amount of wears, but my 16 breds are by far the worst inflicted with glittergate. after wear, they get cleaned with baby wipes then stored back in the box. glitter comes back full force after a day.

i have little to no glitter on my 14 BW, 16 BT, or 17 royals and they get worn, treated, and stored the exact same way.

Pretty much the same for me with pairs that aren’t affected badly. My black/reds and cyber mondays are by far the worst.
 
They have value to me and don’t have time to be hitting stores and picking up stuff I’m always on the road I shop online I’m a trucker btw I got other things to worry about like my bills my kids and my job then to be checking what to buy online reason I didn’t buy it’s cuz I still have the old pair my cousin that may RIP gifted to me even tho I beat them to the ground I still have them in my collection just happened to be to busy while these were on disco
Geez, what happened to good ole searching the internet while your driving. You could have a field day with all the time spent in the truck. :rofl:
 
got them outta the way too...im kinda hoping they dont come back out for a long time :evil:

they actually might not because those last releases were pretty close to their previous release (chi’s 2 years, BTs 3 years)

Why do you care so much that they don’t come out again?
 
Who cares how many were made or who has them or if they are exclusive or unlimited as long as you have them that’s all that matters. That’s a selfish comment...
 
my royals and banneds pretty much live outside their box now because of it. but my ds pair of banneds I pull out every couple weeks to wipe off the glitter. but no signs of glitter on my white/blacks maybe cause I wore them alot when I first got them but now maybe once a month a wear them. they stay in the box and no glitter. couple months ago I was looking at a pair of cm1s on eBay and it was a great deal but damn you could see how bad the glitter was in the pics and guy was playing dumb like he didn't know what I was talking bout so i passed. looking back maybe he really didn't and that's why he didn' wipe them down before taking pics

For those that want them, I'm fine with them re-releasing. I do hope they bring the BTs back though, but in true MJ PE (with the black tongue) form. I'm surprised we've NEVER got them (outside of the Old Love, New Love pack). As big as JB is into telling stories, I'm just waiting for the whole "this is the actual pair/color blocking that MJ wore that were too special to release *blah* *blah* *blah*."
