Then I wore them and 2 steps later (true story) it literraly exploded, for real the shoes exploded from the inside, the midsole cracked and turned into black dust, eventually (I mean 3 steps later) the outsole and midsole completely separated from the upper, I'll make some pics tonight when I'll get back home, you'll see for yourself, the only things I kept is the ... Nike Air insoles ... Believe me stick to the retroes if you're planning to wear, og VIII's are for collection purpose only ....

BTW Does anybody has ever heard of an og upper mixed with some early midsole/outsole (for real the og upper kills the retro ...) ?

If you want wearable, you're looking firm soles.

You must be right since mines crumbled.
Here is some pictures of what you should expect to happen if yuo choose to wear them (those pictures belongs to a friend of mine who wore them from '92till today, and yet the midsole crumbled, mines are even worse) :
