Basically, just keep them in the box, and away from sunlight or any moisture.  It's that simple. 

Oh and, don't live on a tropical island. 

Even that way they're gonna get messed up. 

All shoes depend on how you store them.  I have 7-8 year old shoe still look like new, with no defect or cracks of any kind, and I don't use any fancy gimmicks.

Those people who like to display their shoes, are killing the lifespan of them so quickly.    And the people who store them in zip lock bags, are suffocating their shoes. 

Never once have a encountered a problem with crumbling.  Shoes will crack at the paint in time, and probably come unglued, but crumbling like that? 
You must be doing something wrong.

And I do wear all my shoes, may it be once a month or whatever, it's better to have some sort of rotation with all your shoes.

just like he said...rotaion helps from the shoes crumbling and going to waste

This.

I've had 2 pairs of those Tn Air (the "sharks") for close to 12 years and the foam hasn't broken up at all (it just yellowed). I just kept em in their box and beat the $%@% out of them over the years as well.
