Im not so sure its a "worked" in issue. I have some other non jordan nike retros from 05 that I just wore for the first time, and theyhad the paint start to crack. then I try another 2000 pair brand new broken out a few weeks ago and they are FINE..Originally Posted by woody23
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 monthes and 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 think its all about the era in when the shoes were made
I bought some 06 retros first in line, worn right away back in 06.. you cant get much fresher than that, and the chipping was there. I think the 03 cements arejust better quality all around
