Are some OG breds still wearable? Just wondering if anyone knew anything on this matter.

i would assume so but i dont have any. of course youre going to run the risk of sole seperation but that could happen whether theyre worn or not.

Have you ever posted anything insightful ever??
OG's tend to separate from where the midsole meets the patent leather. It's always a risk wearing them.

Although this belongs in another forum, I'll answer it to help you out Bruce.
Original AJ 11's will always have the tendency of separating. It could be the midsole separating from the patent leather, or the the actual sole separating from the midsole. Especially if DS.
If you can see any visible yellow glue stains anywhere around the midsole or sole area, I would think twice about buying them to wear. That's your first indication.

Everyone above is correct. Also, it depends how it was stored. It's always 50/50 with OG DS pairs. If you got money to blow just to find out, so be it. Haha.

Like others have said you have to worry about separation, that can be fixed though.

For me it's simple, I wear retros when I'm going to be out all day and og's if it's just for an hour or two. I keep super glue in the car at all times just in case.

OG's are dependable if they haven't been worn over time.. but retros will probably hold up with a little bit more longevity..

They aren't DS, they have been worn, but they are still in pretty good shape...not sure when the last time they were worn. Thinking about trading straight up my VNDS Worn 4x pair of 2007 royal foamposite ones For the OG Breds.....Is that a good trade?

^its about even.
and you have nothing to worry about. if seperation occurs, just glue them back with gorillaglue. that stuff is strong as nails
