In your experience, what is the best way to clean these things?

I use Jason Markk

Baby wipes for the midsole after each wear. Upper you can just blow lint off with air. If very dusty you can use a microfiber towel that. Actual scuffs and stains on the upper may require a simple suede brush/bar cleaning kit. Maintenance on these is quite minimal and doesn’t require much to keep clean. Mine still look brand new after a handful of wears.

My 2012s haven’t been rotated out for my ‘19s yet at all.

My 2012s started cracking after 5 wears and looked ashy af…

 

[WASHED KING]

I still haven't worn my '19s.

Going to break them out this week.

2012’s that Ebay sent me for campaign. They were discolored when I got em and but they looked DS. After only a couple of wears the midsole started to chip but I dont mind, gives it some character. Wish it had the Nike Air but whatevs, beaters anyway.

 

[pwguy]

Sorry man, but those are awful. With '19s out there, not sure I understand why people would want to acquire these.

 

[engineer]

Seriously. 2019 pair is bad enough but that 2012 pair has always been inexcusable. The cracking paint feature was completely unnecessary.

Good thing they were free.

Aint a big deal to me in any case, like I said beaters, no one check out my feets cept other dudes anyways.

Im not one to be picky about shape, this and that like some people are, nor do i baby any of my kiks. They get worn to the ground, obv would want them to not chip but kinda like the chipping anyways since they are, adds some character.

 

[pwguy]

So long as you're happy, that's all that matters, and free is definitely good ;-). I don't give a crap about what others think about my shoes; it's just the cracking drives me nuts (free or not), and the other characteristics. For me beaters are pairs I enjoy wearing but no longer care when they get scuffed up or dirty. I still clean them occasionally, and avoid mud though...heh.

Cracking is one thing but these are just chipping. Now if it gets alot worse than these then I def gonna retire them cause theres a line between worn and having some character to straight up looking beat the **** up.

I enjoyed mine. Beat them till the upper was cracking and falling apart. No one around my way cares either way. I actually have some memories with family wearing those. What I thought was beat, most thought were new. lol. I was good with the chipping. But when the sole separation was too much along with the suede cracking, I couldnt do it. Wear the F out of em. Who cares?

damn...y'all can tell them apart when it matters?; on feet!??...

 

[perfectchaosrei]

not that hard when one has nike air and one doesn't.

Yes!

 

[pwguy]

I honestly wish I couldn't see the diff between various versions, but I'm into details, so I notice where most other people wouldn't see it even after pointing it out to them. It's a curse really!

My 1999 everyday pair on feet.
