Fire Red III Retros Cracking (Scroll For Pics)

[mh602]

exactly why i got rid of mine, never wore them cuz i knew that would happen

. Thats not that bad but it will get much worse

 

[ryza272]

damn taht sucks. and i really wanted a pair.

 

[njstress03]

you mean this?



i might sound ******ed sayin this, but i've always seen this on mine as long as i can remember.

 

[kcjordanhead]

My aquas did that but not my 3's.

 

[onjai007]

My paint is cracking on the midsoles too. Oh well.

 

[snuggiespapa517]

mine are probably the worst

i bought them pretty beat on eBay, but its only gotten worse

Pretty much the same thing that happens to the IV's and VIII's

@ JB

 

[ntngman]

its just the paint chipping. i would of rather had JB just leave the exposed foam better.

 

[jah23]

all the paint on the midsoles of new IIIs are cheap. thanks jb

 

[ridikuloz]

nothing new... title and thread is misleading sort of.

Basically if you wear your shoes a few times right after you buy them, you will create pressure points in the shoes and they will begin to slightly bend there.Now since the shoes are relatively new at the time, the paint doesnt crack and the shoes get "worked in". Now if you put them away for a few monthesand bust them back out again, the pressure points are already there, and therefor the shoes doesnt sustain any damage.

Just a thought.

My cements still look fresh from 03 and ive worn them at least 90-100 times

. But my aquas and military's look like crap and ive only worn them 3-5 times.

I'm somewhat glad I sold my pair and copped a pair of '03 IIIs.

[yo andreee]

I was thinking about getting a pair... Hmmm....

 

[coolgrey81]

Same thing happened to my Silver Sport's

.. Not a good look

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Shame on JB quality control

 

[cherryred]

Mine are fine, that's weird.

It's odd how some stay good and others don't.

 

[sylvestermcgrizzly]

Its bound to happen...haven't got around to wearing mine but I kno it inevitable

 

[jepeh21]

yeah the midsole on mines are like those, the paint chips, oh well, its bound to happen

 

[jigga boi]

That's happening to my CDP 4's too. You can't do much about it.

 

[ilovemykicks10]

damn...cheap quality forreal.

 

[hybridsoldier23]

mine are the same way... I've only worn them about 10 times
