^^^^^^ Those look fresh my dude....but dayummmmm $375 and they ds...you came up
IMO they are unwearable.thanks folks .. i found them on ebay and messaged the dude to see if he had a BIN and he said he was taking offers .. offered him 375 and he took it .. crazy part is when he ended the auction it was already at 360 or so with a couple days left ..
im almost scared to wear them .. they shouldnt separate or anything right? also .. should i take the tissue out or add any silica packs?

1. It's already a 13 year old shoe
2. The fact that it's DS will hurt the option of wearing them because it increases the chances of crumbling after all the years DS
If they had some wear on them then maybe you can get away with some wears
didn't really mean crumble just an exaggeration. Your correct about the midsoles separating . That's what I really meant. But I really don't think they are wearable fam. I've seen older models just fall apart.XIs don't crumble. They are wearable.
Worse case is he will have to reglue the soles or any midsole separation.
thought i would share these .. just grabbed em for 375 shipped DS

yeah that patent leather is looking nice and the soles are looking nice despite some minor yellowing. for the shoes especially at the price he got them for the condition is amazingdamn and no yellowing!?
anyway possible to message him again and ask his preservation techniques?thanks folks .. i found them on ebay and messaged the dude to see if he had a BIN and he said he was taking offers .. offered him 375 and he took it .. crazy part is when he ended the auction it was already at 360 or so with a couple days left ..

Yeah silica packs dry out the material in them if you put a lot in there so I wouldn't do that. If you are worried about them out them in the plastic container with some holes in for the materials to breath and you should be fine
I mean it depends on the shoes because 3s and 4s have a shorter lifespan than 11s. I'm not the guy to talk to about this type of stuff but I know humidity does break shoes down faster. But I don't think you will need silica packs for them personallyI live in germany where the weather is rather dry than humid. So its better to not put silicia gel packs into each box?
Because my aj 4 and aj 3 retros from 1999 and 2001 crumbled and the heel tab even cracked on my pair and i didnt use any silica gel packs back then.
damn and no yellowing!?
