I clean my shoes when they get to a point that I decide I want to clean them. Could be after three wears, could be after 20. Totally depends on what mood I'm in and how they look. But I can't imagine cleaning every pair after every wear, every day. I don't have anywhere near the motivation or patience for that. I like keeping my stuff in good shape but ultimately they are still shoes. And no way I'm bothering myself with scrubbing the bottom of soles every day, just so they can get dirty again the minute I wear them outside again LOLWhen I was in HS and only had like 5 pairs of kicks.. I would clean my shoes after every wear.. now that would make me feel like I'm running a sneaker cleaning business lol. I just take care of them when I wear them and I have so much that they pretty much always look good.
I will wipe some stuff away but I'm not cleaning soles. To add on to this, whenever I sold shoes on eBay I would get praises about how my description was so accurate that at times people thought the shoes in hand were even better than I described them.. that is to say that if I wore them 2X's .. I didn't hide it because I never clean bottoms. (Doesn't mean that I think anyone who cleans them does BTW.. dude with the III's is doing an impossibly impressive job).
good point. i guess exceptions can be made for those clear soled jointsI typically don’t clean the bottom of my shoes but in the case of the Concord and an Infrared 6 I cleaned those to help minimize the yellowing effect on those soles. Otherwise dirty the sole up.
Just for fun: wasn't looking to revisit the "what constitutes a real Space Jam 11" discussion from a few days back. But I happened to see this new @MJO23DAN vid. Check it at the 5:08 mark. The only thing not making the 2016s 100-percent Jams is the number on the heel. That's IT. The 2000 and 2009 pairs are just a made-up colorway inspired by the movie. But they're just wrong, frankly
2016s are definitely the '95 PEs. But they are also by far the closest retail release to the shoes actually worn in the damn movie. Can't wait to hear the arguments LOL
Mind blown. That vid really does give the perspective of who is really into this genuinely. This hobby is not about the stunt, or the buy/sell. Its about the true passion people have about the shoes, and memories wanting them. The stories behind getting them.
A pro hooping in the concords. I just can't stop admiring these on the basketball court, the way the arena lights reflect off the patent leather. It's like shoe porn
that yours?
Yeah. My pride and joy. Worn by MJ in game on November 25th, 1995.
How did you get them ?
