Is it just me or do Dunks wear out really quickly?

    Compared with other shoes I guess. My latest pair look terrible only after about 30 wears.

    Never really had a problem like this after that many wears. But I def agree on the IVs my military one's look terrible after only 5 wears.

    Wouldn't it all depend on what activities you do in them?

    30 wears is not quick.

    It also depends on the material and quality of the shoe.

    Which dunk are we talking about?

    It's not so much that they wear out quick, it's just the design on the bottom because it is so fine and not very intricate wears down to smoothness quickly. That happens on alot of Nikes and Jordans now a days, does that bother anyone other then me, having a little wear down on the back?

    what's your definition of "terrible?" creases?


    my daily's are white/gum soles (with the perf'd panels. kokopellis or whatever).

    they've done well. i turned them into daily's early this year.
