anyway, the other day at school one of my students asked me what was my most favorite pair of shoes that i own. I replied "spacejam xi's", and went on to tell him the story of how they were our senior year hooping shoe (2001), how they came out during the movie "spacejam", limited run, taught them the definition of an "icy sole", basically all the basic info of the jordan xi, etc... he then asked me to wear a pair to school.

so this morning i get ready for work, open the box up, vvvvvvvnds spacejam xi's which i wore once or twice tops, lace em up and head to work.

period one - "nice kicks", "whooa, are those the ones?"

period two- i notice my feet start to hurt a little

period three- man, these are not feeling right (i own many many pairs of XIs)

lunch- as i walk up the stairs i feel a lifting on my toe

period four- trying to teach a class while in the back of my mind i cant help but worry that my spacejams are gonna de-laminate mid step

period five- sitting in my classroom, in disbelief that this is the result....

lesson to my youngsters....

hype all you want over a pair of shoes. if you don't plan on wearing them, you are only fooling yourself. its cool to keep a pair of kicks on ice for a little while, but keeping a pair of shoes on ice for pure bragging purposes, or just for the self reassurance that you have "shoe game", or that you're a "shoe head" is just another way of clowning yourself that your not a hypebeast. WEAR YOUR KICKS! ENJOY THEM!

RIP SPACEJAM XI's ON ICE SINCE 2001

please keep the flaming to yourself....

such an sad story =/; only wore 2 times also makes me think does age of the show make the quality worse

 

[sneakernoob791]

How did you get home? tell me you didnt walk in them after they started ungluing?

 

[juni0rthe0ne112789]

well i got a pair size 7.5 still icy pm me =)

 

[mikkol109]

Bring it to a shoe repair shop and maybe you can get them to glue it back to you or do a sole swap!

 

[Chamelio Salamander]

rip.. i offer my condolences. i found myself contemplating the subject of keeping your kicks on ice and i definitely cosign on wearing your kicks..

 

[mtangfw]

the same thing happen to my XII's

 

[jlm83jays]

like others have said rock them indoors on the carpet to keep them durable

Or, you could just wear them period.
