Spiz'ike Midsole Cracking?

[maximo1986]

I have the Black/Red/Green (2nd OG pair) Spizikes, and ive had em for years, worn them like sum 30 times in all kinds of conditions and they still look fine only sum yellowing on the side pannel netting. Maybe its because i've also Cleaned and Conditioned them with sum Leather CPR every once in a while.

When will you guys learn that Jordans with foamy mid-soles are like gremlins they cant get wet. Moisture breaks them down the foam.

I did the same thing to my pair. Prepped the whole midsole with acetone. Painted the midsole using angelus leather paint. After a couple wears the paint started chipping again. Did I do something wrong?

My true blues are cracking horribly.

Basically beaters now.

that has nothing to do with anything.....i have 01 black cement 3s and there is no paint chipping at all.....my friend has 03 8s that he beat to the ground yet there is no paint chipping on those....it has nothing to do with water.....its the way jb is painting the midsoles.....no one is talking about the foam breaking down

My King County Spizikes are cracking on the midsole but my true blue and cement spizikes are fine.

Jason: Hi, my name is Jason. How may I help you?

Tony Joseph: Hi Jason. I recently wore my Air Jordan Collezione 3 for the third time, and i've noticed the midsole begin to crack very quickly. Is this normal? I really expected these to last really long before this happened.

Jason: I'm sorry to hear that. Did you get them from Nike.com or a store?

Tony Joseph: They were only used for normal walking. I paid $340 for these!!!

Jason: I'm sorry to hear that. Did you get them from Nike.com or a store?

Jason: Hello?

Tony Joseph: yes

Tony Joseph: footlocker

Jason: You will have to contact our Claims Department at 1-800-344-6453. They are open M-F 7am - 4pm PST. They will be able to help you return your shoes. You will need to choose option 9 to speak with an agent.

Tony Joseph: well is there anything i can do?

Jason: No, sorry. You can return them or keep them as is, sorry.

Jason has disconnected.

I was cracking up when I read this because Nike is ruthless with their products, honestly they really dont care. Like for real, return them? A year and a half later?

LOL

[dakid2301]

[jwalker123]

[kopnkicks]

Rock 'em till the paint peels off.....they are only shoes!!!

 

[backyardrsx]

I have the White/cements and the black/red/green spizikes and none of mine are cracking yet. I have these shoes in rotation too.

 

[sofargone510]

I wore my cool grey spizikes alot. And they are peeling and cracking but what's new

 

[calsfinest22]

they used the same cheap a** paint on AJ retro 3, 4 and 8 midsoles.

 

[wrukus]

had my cements since they dropped.  it took a long time, but sometime during the last 2 or 3 wears they have started pealing.  its minimal, but i know it will get worse.

 

[pdot87]

I have the white and orange ones witch I play ball in and those are fine.. my iii's cracked a lot to but I put a lot of wear time with those.. the quailty is getting bad with these over priced kicks.. were sneaker heads so no matter what we still buy them..

Paint chipping is caused by they flexing of the foam parts. Once the foam "breaks down" and the paint has nothing to adhere to. I know I said Jordans at first but in reality this goes for any shoe with a foamy mid-sole. If you step in and out of moisture the foam will gradually absorb moisture. To be honest they will aborb moisture in the air.
