Isn’t it amazing what happens when you actually wear your shoes every day?

Super cool man. Keep it going. Did you reshape them? Can't tell since the sneaker had a cool pointy shape as is, but yours look like BULLETS.

Dude they’re not even that yellow.

posted recent pics of them in the FR V thread. If we’re talking about soles, the same thing happened to the OGs back in 1990. Now, the yellowing netting is a different story. That’s a problem retros have had for a long time that the originals generally did not.

Knew about the netting, of course. Knew about the OG's too, that pair on the "sneaker related crimes" cover for the Times magazine even had some bit of yellowing. But didn't think this would happen in such a short span of life.Dude they’re not even that yellow.
Edit: They ain't as oxidized as I remembered, and that was Sports Illustrated instead of the Time.

said he's worn them almost every day since they came out. That was almost eight months ago. That's how we all used to wear shoes way back before this thing of having a million pairs in your closet and babying them all came to be a thing. And in that context, I was actually surprised his pair didn't look a whole lot more beat and yellow, honestly. When it comes to wear and tear on shoes, I think we've lost sight of reality sometimes. You used to be lucky to have one let alone a few pairs per year. Especially if you were a kid and had to have your parents pay for them ...

Confused retail $220 with special box, feel like Jordan's been that price for the regular box. Meh.

I definitely really like the shoe but damn I dont know I'd be able to pull it off. I'd rather have the Black and yellow pair.

Hey man I feel what he is saying though. It's one thing to be Positive but it is another to be a realist lol. With the market the way it is and Travis Scott wore a pair of Yellow shoes once in his life all the hypebeast are going to try.
