Just checked all my 1s. CMs and Vegas are still glittering, but can be wiped off. My banneds had a spot like on those shadows. Wet microfiber towel and some elbow grease and it's gone...for now.

No such thing as lifetime longevity on a pair of shoes. Shoe companies wouldn’t make money if that were true.

I'm sure he's saying it's a shoe that'll never go out of style, no matter if it has NA or Jumpman Air on it.
If so, I'll have to agree.

Dang that's disappointing, I thought maybe we could get to a solution with this. I wonder if the leather dye would be the same result?

We see some ‘85 pairs still fully wearable, maybe exaggerated but definitely a proven 30 yr life if taken care of
1’s are a staple, they’ll never not be in style IMO

Considering these are nothing more than rubber soles, people are wearing pairs from 1985 with ease
People are EASILY wearing 1994 pairs
That’s longevity

Yeah, as I get older I just want a lifetime supply of 1s to wear. I pretty much have that now, but I’d like them to not be glitter moldy.

Are you guys applying the leather conditioner after signs of glitter or before the glitter appears? If before, has the glitter appeared?

98% are applying after having the glitter issue in hopes it wont appear again.

Glitter-gate prevention method:
Wear them while walking the dog. My bulldog moves super slow so the shoes get plenty of time in the fresh air.

I bought a pair of sbb 1.0s. Paid $583. Came with glitter on them. Don't care and still haven't wiped clean. Can't even see the glitter on feet so what's the big deal? It's not like you got a big mustard stain on the midsole. Are your shoes falling apart? Didn't think so... even some of the people that say the more beat they are the better they look are flipping out on glitter and it doesn't make sense.
