It happens to every sneaker after a while but it's a shame to see these falling apart.

A Japanese sneaker designer that worked on the first Air Max put on his original pair last year and the whole shoe separated and fell apart on him. They won't last, unfortunately.

So the people paying $50k for a pair of rare shoes are pissing their money away? Collect coins people!! They last longer -- nm - Bacon Jul 3, 15:18 1
- Basically. There will come a point they won't be wearable. The rubber dries out and the foam hardens. The glue dries up and the upper will separate -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 3, 15:33
