Weird I have never had any issues with any of mine. My Air Max have had those issues though with shit just falling apart. You'd think for as much as Nike charges they could get a little tougher on those kids in China when it comes to quality control yeah my fire reds lost the heel tab at a show earlier this year but that took well over a decade of abuse before it happened. this was the 2011? black cements that i'd worn maybe 10 times ever

I'd flip the fuck out if a $230 pair of shoes just fell apart after 10 times wearing them

fuck no i shoehorn myself in as carefully as possible. the flap is what just magically fell off. i looked it up and it looks like eventually the glue just wears off and then the plastic just... falls apart.

crazy. i've been wearing the 3s for my entire lifetime and that's never happened to me. glue chipping off is mostly what happens to me, and the obvious yellowing.

i had no idea it was a thing that could happen until it happened to me and i looked it up. i was just sitting here at work, looked down, and the part above the stitch was sitting in the floor. at least they're black so eventually when i stop being annoyed about it i should be able to come up with a solution that isn't super obvious like it would be on my white pairs (which i guess i'll never even look at again smh)
buying jordans is so stupid i'm glad i haven't done it since 2011.

I think you should write Michael Jordan a strongly worded letter

tbh one of the best parts of being veg now is that i don't buy a bunch of stupid bullshit like shoes or outrageous burgers anymore
of course i have yet to buy any new shoes and just go through the million pairs i've acquired over the last 15 years or so but whatever i'm not switching to ugly ass vans slipons

the paint always chippies off easily on the 3s yeah when i put em on i was like "fuckin thing, gotta repaint these" and by the end of the day i thought "fuckin thing, gotta glue this back together" Had a pair of the 07 reissues sitting around for a few years and the sole practically fell off within like an hour of me wearing them.

How did Crocs become so popular? like 10 years ago they were considered the nerdiest lame things you could put on your feet but now everyone wants a fucking pair of them. I know they're comfortable but they're ugly as shit so it's a strange turn They were hip ten years ago. My friend had crocs with flames on them. You are all just old.

pretty sure the wikipedia page details their constant rise and fall as trendy footwear over the last 15 years but i am not checking it again after doing it the last time this argument came up on board

I fee like millennials definitely adopted crocs and gen z carried it over into mainstream. circling back to this, Narc is right, I definitely recall crocs having a moment in like 2012? Uggs were so 2005-2010

haha we filmed a 30 minute segment and I'm reviewing the footage and just realized the camera glitched and there's a bunch of frames missing + the audio isn't synced. Legit might do seppuku over this.
