U got any other pics of those 5s thats showing the whole shoe if u don't mind sharing. I kinda wanna see how they look after being an everyday shoe
Ya, Imma take pics and upload them tomorrow. You really got me worried, guys. I’m flat footed and apparently this causes my uneven wear. This is my first pair of Js so I thought it would be different, but they just lasted a little bit longer than the Vans/Adidas shoes that I used to wear. Maaan, it sucks that I only got one year out of these joints, took me a while to collect the money to get them.
No, I don’t, but apparently my flat foot causes me to walk on one side of my foot more than the other. This is the third pair of shoes (Vans Sk8 Hi and some kind of Adidas) that get a hole at the same spot: outter bottom corner of the shoe. Frequent wear just contributed to this. I plan on copping a pair of 4s for the winter (is that a bad decision already?) and stuffing in some orthopedic soles, hopefully this fixes the issue.
You gotta get a rotation going man. If you primarily wear just one pair of shoes, I’d say a year is about all you’ll get out them. Your flat feet won’t matter if you’re constantly rotating shoes.
Yeah, I know, though atm this ****e is kind of out of my reach. SATs, TOEFLs and application fees as an international student crush my dreams of having a sneaker rotation.
You can find some nice Jordan’s at the outlets Try to go on the weekends when they have 20-30%off the hashwall Or during F&F pass Actually found a pair of BM5 at the outlets for $126 on the hashwall few months back $180-30%= crazy steal
Once you own about 50-80 pairs like some of us clowns, your shoes become eternal from lack of wearing them.
Haha straight facts Plus dude is young When I was around his age I only wore one pair of shoes everyday Sun, rain, snow..... I’ve worn shoes more beat than that I would only buy new shoes only when the outsole would tear and rip or get holes
You should start looking at jordans like a nice watch or jacket etc. If you want them to last anyway You wouldn't wear a nice watch all day everyday, but you have an out fit that it goes perfect with or for special occasions. Or go buy some 1s and dog those into the ground. You should see another year out of those.
@tonytobacco Sorry, but I beg to differ. I bought these as sneakers, yes, they are nice, but I wouldn’t treat them as a trophy or a gem. I bought these to wear them. I am looking at Oreo 4s or some casual 1s that I can wear casually, but comfort is important because I walk a lot(evidently,lol). In the end, I really fell in love with these and although I’ve been following the sneaker culture for three years, last year was my opportunity to buy my first of Js. If I’ve learned anything from you guys, the sneakerheads, it’s simply WEAR YOUR KICKS! Hopefully I manage to cop another pair of these in the future. Till then, I’m looking for some durable Js guys, I walk 5 miles + a day. Take a look for yourself, I’ve been chased by dogs in these, I went to the bar in these, I took all my exams in these, so this will be a special pair for me forever. Spoiler Suggest me some new kicks to get for the winter, please.
@Ivan99 on social media just make sure you follow sneaker sites and sneaker deal sites to cop all types of shoes for 50% -70% off. Ive seen plenty of retro J's around $100 and even some under $100.
Get timbs if u live somewhere that snows. Wearing js in the snow is no bueno Maybe get some 12s and avoid nubuck uppers
That is a crazy deal for real; haven't seen these go for less than retail anywhere. *Edit* Repped for the Midnight Marauders Vinyl.
@mossman1975 you have great taste in kicks and music. Wish my local outlets had that deal, would've tripled up.
