cant wear or the same thing will happen. this is the shoe that pulled me into the shoe game back in 95-96. it really sucks
i was 2 or 3
Ok....sure buddyOriginally Posted by aphexacid
unDS'ing XI's at this point will 90% result in some separation. I was told by a shoemaker/repair man that glue can only hold onto a smooth material like PL for so long before it separates. Its supposedly because the surface is so smooth. I also asked if wearing them made the situation better. He couldnt really answer that, but i told him about my experience throughout the years, and he said it makes sense.
This happened to me on a DS pair of Jams 2 years ago. i didnt even make it out of the house. I took them to get professionally repaired, and you couldnt tell they were repaired what so ever.
wear you shoes man!

and a new pair shouldnt cost you $400-500. from a couple of months of searching for some jordan xi concords or dmps. came out witht he conclusiion, for size 10 at least, the average price range is $275- $400. most common was around $350 though.
at first wantd the dmps since theyd have more icy soles and probably easier to find. but with ridiculous resellers-- usually asking for concord prices and sometimes higher, i finalyl decided to cop these>>>
$300 shipped
