Someone mentioned that the non foam parts of the 16 and 17s crumble as well.
Either way, buying a 13 year old shoe isn't a wise choice if you plan to wear em.
Phylon/EVA and rubber hold up well, so Jordans 10 and up are good to go, as well as 1s. A lot of old trainers were EVA. Huaraches and such.
7s were PU encased in EVA so the interior crumbles. That's what happened to my OGs, they look fine but when the sole separated, the air bag fell out cause...
From my experience, you're lucky to get more than 10-12 years with polyurethane midsoles. Phylon/ EVA doesn't crumble, sole separation happens but that can be fixed.
Jordan 1s are rubber, they're good to go. Jordans 2-9 are polyurethane. 10 and up are phylon, also good to go.
People say you can take codes from wherever, it's not working for me.
It worked once but I wasn't able to check in. Now it won't let me switch back to my local stores. :angry:
The 3s need some work on the elephant print and the overall shape.
The grey on the print isn't dark enough, the "veins" should be dark grey instead of black and they should be thinner. The black cement from 2018 are ok if those things don't matter to you.
The 4s look like a fat guy sat on them...
The 2015 are closer to the OG Bordeaux.
They improved the shape of the shoe, the shape of the side panels, they fixed the shape of the vamp by the toebox.
The only nitpicks i had were there midsole was too dark and the grey on the underlays should have been a bit darker.
The Bordeaux 7 was...
