Don't the outsoles get hard with age?
I've noticed some of my older dunks make more noise on my wood floors... Some sound like high heels they are so hard
I was trying to skate some older dunks and they didn't have enough grip... Nothing like the newer dunks (I like lots of grip.... I'm old)

I think that only happens if they aren't worn semi regularly.

What's everyone's experience with midsole cracking on older Dunks? I know running sneakers and basketball sneakers aged 10+ years are super prone to cracking and coming apart if worn. I've never purchased Dunks this old but have some from the early roster that I'd like to drop some $ on.

Rubber doesnt crack like that under normal conditions

Don't hit problems like that until 20ish years

It can but they're low odds. My '01 royals become unwearable because the rubber went bad while the '94 chicagos still feel brand new

This happened to my Vegas Dunk Lows.
The outsole hardened and became shiny/slippery.
My Plums and Caves outsoles are still soft/rubbery.

Midsole separation is the only issue with older dunks. It's an easy fix tho.

well I need to figure out a secure way to attach these

Size is just right!

one is stuck pretty good to the black leather

can't get it to stick to the white

Going to have to think about this for a bit

matching socks....

(pulled the one off the black until I can figure a permanent solution)
