Hi NT fam. This will be pretty interesting.
After a long period of hiatus, I am now back in the sneaker game and I have decided to treat myself with my longtime grails.
And the list includes a DS pair of Air Jordan 4 Lightning from 2006. I don't get kicks to store and look at them with pride as they were trophies. I wear them. So I would want wear to wear that pair as much as possible. But given it's nearly 13 years old AND it's DS, I am not sure they will survive past the 2nd wear... I am afraid they will crumble. But I don't know... And I truly want them. I am also about to purchase a used pair of Tokyo 5s and I have the same misgiving (to a lesser extent tho, given they are definitely not as old as the aforementioned Lightning 4s and they have been worn a couple times).
Do you guys think it would be a good idea to get them now and will I be able to rock them without worrying much about them crumbling under my feet?
Also I would want to take advantage of the topic to discuss the lifespan of Jordans, and establish a list of wearable/unwearable Js according to the model and the release year.
Any input would be much appreciated!
