I just wanted to hear people's opinions to get a feel of what others may do...

I have the 6/11 DMP package from 11 years ago and was thinking about wearing one or both the 6 and/or 11 for the very first time

They have never even been tried on yet alone been taken out but 3 times since I got them

Would it make since to wear them now or keep the value and keep them DS

Just wanted to hear what people had to say

Thanks in advance

You lucky son of a

Love that package

If you want to wear em go head, but wait until someone chimes in on if they will hold up or not if worn, im not sure if they will

6s are getting to the point of "risk" of midsole crumbling tho I haven't seen it happen yet. They are about 10 years old now or so.
11s are wearable.

That said, it's up to you. Your shoes.

Value is dropping on those. Wear the 6s the 11s can be reglued if anything.

I believe it was Fat Joe wore his VIs and they crumbled.

Either keep for collection purposes or sell to buy something you can actually wear.

The XIs are wearable but air/zoom bags can dry out and pop.

Wear them, or why else did you buy them? I feel like if you bought them to resell you would've already. Time to wear em

Reglue/sole swap them and rock them!

The process is not that hard really.  Just takes attention to detail.
