^^^ You know does that actually help? I do use different insoles for my BC3s and zero paint chipping or signs of it...Worn it more then 10x...I may have just answered my own question...Definitely will be doing the same with these..

I really hoped JB fixed the paint chipping issue with this retro. My CDP's ended up like that after a few wears. Game-time decision for me.

I swap out the insoles on every pair of Jordans I buy now. If you barely wear them, it helps your resale value and gives the buyer a cleaner shoe. REAL insoles limit creasing and also add a LOT of comfort. With Jordans they also often help make them fit more TTS. Pull out that flimsy foam from a pair of these IV's and ask yourself what that does for your feet. Nothing.
My BC3's have been worn 40-50 times now and have some cracking that looks similar to what was posted above. However, my WC and TB 3s have no cracking at all after 10-15 wears each and my WC IVs have been worn 20+ times and no signs of cracking on them at all. Spotless.
I have no idea other than what that guy provided, but 6'0 240 isn't exactly small for that frame. I'm 5'11 175. The more pressure per square inch you're putting into your sneakers the greater the pressure and the quicker the wear and tear. Can't say I'm worried about these cracking. They will likely be lent collectors though, despite recent photos that might make them look less ashy.

are they true to size or run .5 big? i have seen many answers but none that are confirmed. since you have actually worn them you probably have a better idea.

I'm gonna attribute paint chipping so quickly to people who are overweight.
im not specifically speaking to dude who posted pic bc he could be a brolic 240 for all i know
but i know that theresome fatboi NTers here who are pushing obese levels who should be strapping on some running shoes instead of jordans.

I just talked to the buyer for a few stores around here and he said he has 4 or 5 pairs in each size, which is a lot more then they usually get. So hopefully these are a lot easier than the Cavs were for me to get. It just sucks because everyone will already be out for Black Friday and it might bring people who would normally not care.

As far as sheer numbers go, the Cavs and black-cements are on complete opposite ends of the spectrum... The Cavs were the most limited IV of the year, thus far... The black-cement is a general release, so numbers wise they aren't in the same ballpark.

Only sneakers I wear whenever I wear sneakers now. Damn near abused both of them. No chips or anything.
This twitter RSVP thing is idiotic. Who has time to sit and wait for a tweet all day? Makes zero sense.
Hoping to get these on finishline.com or ndc in the AM

Good question. I'm in the same boat, so I don't know bro...
I know I responded fairly quickly. Literally 23 secs afterwards, let's hope that was quick enough.
Smh at this.
