Asics Love?!? Where is it?

[168720]

 
people really iron their asics to get rid of creases? 

 

It seriously pisses me off. I've only done it one other time on a pair of sneakers and it worked out fine, no more creases. 

My Medics get so creased after taking one step in them. Guess I'll leave them creased.

I hate dents and creases on the mudguard but creases on the midsole!!!! I don't get it...

Really? Every asics shoe that I've had and everyone that I've seen that's been worn has creasing on the midsole area. It's unavoidable, not sure how you don't get them. It doesn't matter how much you weigh either, they always crease

Does anyones GLV's/Medics crease a lot at the midsole? My Medics came pretty damn creased and even after the ironing technique, they still crease like crazy after one wear. 

Wait.... you ironed the midsole?  What the hell is going on in here?

My bad. I don't like it because it makes the shoes look like crap and makes them look cheap.

To me it's not a big deal at all... The mudguard is my main concern with Asics...

Given all of this recent Gel-lyte Speed hubbub, I figured I'd post some pix of my lone pair.  Got these circa 2010 if I remember correctly.  Really like this model and am excited to see it making a comeback of sorts.

Does nobody else think sneaks look better worn? I love the look of a worn in sneaker, shows a story of your strides

 

[thecheef]

All these shoes are cheap whether they crease or they do not crease?

Does nobody else think sneaks look better worn?

Yes and no for me. I like when they reach that "i don't care anymore" stage, but I kinda cringe the whole way there. Like "They are never gonna look new again, but soon I won't care." If that makes sense...

 

[-murkystilo-]

Ya im definitely not talking beaters level here, but a nice worn look makes the kicks unique to you

Agreed. I think me and you are the most OCD people on this thread when it comes to sneaker flaws but creased midsole doesn't bother me at all. Shaggy suede, bad perf, toe dents and toe box creases. That's another story

Anyone have any info on the dessert rose drop? Asics IG said 7/18 but can't find anyone who is releasing them, thanks!

Cold, damp towel (whatever really) over the midsole and put an iron onto it. Midsole expands removing creases.

This is too serious haha.  As echoed above midsole creasing is inevitable with wear; toe box creases/dents on the other hand that appear without me even putting the shoe on make me want to rage.  Sadly complementary toe dents seem to be becoming more common place too.

 

[thejacobsharp]

Show me what you mean by "creased" midsole... you mean where the foam begins to compress after wear?
