2000 - 2001 retros wearable

[firmeporvida]

I'm looking to pick up some 2000 retros, specifically DS or VNDS Concords, and I was wondering if they would hold up if I wore them.

Any thoughts?

I still wear my columbias, space jams and cool greys, it really depends on the shoe, not really whether its DS or NDS

Same here. I still wear my XI's occasionally. They hold up pretty good.

Even OG XI's are perfectly wearable. So Your 01's should be fine.

I also agree. I rock my OG Columbias from time to time.

This depends on the shoes, and more importantly...the person who previously owned them and how they were stored.

People can say that XI's hold up, but there's been at least 2 stories on here where somebody UN-DS'ed a pair of XI's and the whole damn sole came off.

We've also seen pics of VIII's snapping, IX's breaking, etc...

Nobody can really say if a shoe is "safe" to wear. I personally wouldn't chance it if it's DS....it's just leather and glue, and anything from 10 years ago, unless worn, is prob.dried out.

I think the most wearable shoe from that era are the XIII's, never heard/seen any trouble with those.

Just don't get any 6, 8, or 9, because they will crack and or crumble.

11's hold up very well, so you wouldn't have anything to worry about.

be carefull and anything older than that you might want to pass, i bought some patent leather Ndestrukts DS and they were beautiful! the first wear in the mall and on my way back to my car i heard something, looked behind me and the entire sole fell off and crumbled to pieces.
