I had a pair of Jordan (Crumble) 3s, bruh that shit fucked me up I'm at the dentist and my shit just started disintegrating... I said never again and made it a mission if they bought they getting wornThat was literally the WORST advice.
Wear them if you want them because if not, the fall apart.
I call old Nike’s “The Crumbles”!
The best sneaker story from PJ was the story of how he got some Melo PE editions... My dawg had Melo and MJ questioning him on how he got his hands on a pair... If I remember correctly, he said MJ was annoyed
I had Jordan IV’s from 99 that did the exact same thing! I didn’t notice until 2015 or 2016. I had three pairs and only wore one probably in 2000 or 2001.
I had to get rid of them, had a couple other pairs that crumbled too.
I still have entirely too many
Yeah I've gotten to the point I'm started to buy casual kicks, like polo's and Gucci's - only cause I'm getting a playa hookup and I'm just tired of buying Nikes, I got all the ones I want essentially... I just get enticed by new colorways on the silhouettes I likeI had Jordan IV’s from 99 that did the exact same thing! I didn’t notice until 2015 or 2016.

Got an embarassing shoe moment for you. This is about 4 years ago - late-July of that year - attending a cousin's 20th wedding anniversary. They hosted the fam' for a deluxe brunch at one of the big hotels in their city. We decided to walk down (15 mins) as it was a beautiful day. I'm sporting these dress shoes I'd had for years ... only wore them occasionally for stuff like weddings and funerals. They had clearly disintegrated. As we're walking back later, I'm about 2 mins from the hotel in a busy crosswalk and the right shoe's sole 75% peels off and I stumble and luckily didn't faceplant. I'm pissed off and fortunate I didn't fall. I take that shoe off and realize I can't be walking around the city with 1 shoe on. So I play it cool and walk around with my dress shoes in my hand ... sporting my black dress socks like it's no big deal. Hot pavement.
Caught some looks.
The fucking hotel below ...
Im on the lookout for Adidas patent leather Top 10's and adidas Concordes.
Id be thankful if anyone has an onlime source.

Oooooweee bruh you a G for enduring the black socks on the concrete... Luckily you wasn't far far, but I'm sure those were 2 long minutes...Got an embarassing shoe moment for you.

I had some Nike Prestos I absolutely loved, pretty much my workout shoes... My lady wants to play tennis one day so I'm like cool, I'll wear these cause they super comfortable, flexible, and will allow my feet to breathe... Bruh... Not too long after we started playing I'm running for a cross court shot, I step into position to make solid contact - my gahdamn toe breaks straight through the shoe... This was recent, I haven't had the will to throw them hoes away yet
44 pairs...and least half i dont wear, i have a few pairs of air max 95's & 97's,, a few pair of fila's old school f-13 mid tops and high top adidas top 10's that get the fat joe treatment never been on any ground so you can lick the bottom of them...

Damn - you're lucky you weren't injured on the play.
Yeah - that pavement and asphalt was hot, for real. It was actually about 13 mins walking in the socks, haha. The shoe 75% fell apart about 2 minutes after leaving the hotel. Was so glad to get home and immediately shower at the fam's house, haha. Embarassing.
Ohhh damn I misunderstood that... Fack! In dress socks?!
Yeah bruh - I immediately shifted my weight, that shit was a injury avoided
Yeah - I was between a rock and a hard place. Either in socks or barefoot, lol. Barefoot was gonna be worse.
When you mentioned your tennis story ... I thought about Zion's shoe giving out early in that 1st quarter of the college game. Glad you didn't get injured on your game there.
Sounds like you’re on the right path and I’m tired of buying and not being able to buy specific Nike’s too.
Too many, more than I will ever wear, but I have been a hobbyist/sneakerhead since elementary school. I never missed the money though.
I’m at 40+, a good mix of sneakers, Cole Hanns, Ferragamo and slides. Most of them I try to wear at least 1 a year, there are a few on ice though. After hearing some of the stories I don’t want to stumble down the street cause I thought shoes I bought were too cool to wear. I buy 4-5 pair a year, but I grew up poor and wear a 15/16 so there are some availability issues…. If they are available, I buy them! But I FUCKING HATE the SNKER app. Fuck dat hoe! LoLz!
^ What he said.
I have about 20 pair of shoes/boots. I've never owned a pair of Jordans. I've bought them for my sons, but I've never owned a pair myself. When it comes to sneakers, I buy the classic Chuck Taylors or Shell-Toe Adidas.
I have one pair of Doc Marten's. I have dress shoes made from deer, stingray, alligator, caiman, and ostrich. The best way to keep your shoes up to par is to invest in cedar shoe trees. All of my expensive shoes have shoe trees in them.
Wear your shoe, wipe them off and/or keep them polished; and when not in use, store them in the box/bag that they came in with shoe trees in them.
You'll have your shoes for decades, and they'll always look fresh and new.

SMH! BGOL millionaires doing it big.
I wear every pair of shoes I own. I played ball with my son in some J3's this past weekend. I was at Walmart and bought my baby son some Shaq's and decided to get myself a pair. It's crazy that now that I have a little bit of real change in the bank/ investment accounts, IDGAF no more. lol!!
