i still wear my 2000 olympic 6s, everything you said is 100% spot on except the air unit, i mean my air bubble on the olympic 6s have been foggy since 2006-2007 and kept getting more foggy but still are wearable.
If the black isn't chipping, leave it as is and just do the white. If it is, then scrape it off with a sharp metal edge. I will show how to do that in an upcoming video!
I have one question. I've just copped a pair of 3s fire red from 2007. The condition is vnds (based on the seller's info). Will it crumble if I wear it now?
My 2003 white cements have a Completely fogged air unit and I walk around in them just fine. And I am also. 250+ lbs ad 6'2. And they still did not crumble.
Bro I just got some 2000 midnight 6s that were tried on a few times but the thing is that one of the air bubbles in fogged up and the other is clear. The midsoles feel good and firm, they look and feel 100% wearable. I even compared the midnight 6s midsole to my 2014 carmine 6 midsole and they feel almost the same ( carmine midsole feels a little more firm). You think I should take a chance on them or no. I have a review vid of the 6s on my page if you want to take a look at them for yourself.
I have a pair of 01 Mocha 3's and they have foggy midsoles but they have a Firm midsole can somebody please tell me why that is and if they are wearable?
Alright thanks a lot. I tired that on my personal pair and, it worked but, I accidentally cut little holes into some spots on the midsole while doing it. It worked but, you could still see some of them. Look forward to seeing the video. Thanks again
Nice vid man. Was hoping you'd get into the type of midsole (polyurethane) and more tech and materials of the midsole in correlation to others. Overall. Great tips. I follow the same.
I coped some 02 cool Greys 9 . They have a very little bit or some sole seperation in the middle . But none in the front or back .but the sepetation is about as thick as a finger nail ? Hit me back .
Hey man, quick question. It's not really related but, its pretty important and, I figured that you would be the person to ask. So I'm repainting the midsole on a pair of 2011 bc3's and I am having a hard time removing the black "paint" off of the midsole. The white came off no problem but, the black isn't even paint and I'm having trouble with it. Please get back to me with any suggestions. Thanks
If I bought a DS pair of Jordan 3s from 2001 and I'm just displaying them with my other OG Jordans they won't crumble as long as I don't wear them and their merely a display piece, correct?
To specify for the people that aren't that sure on foam, jordans 2-9 and shoes that use that foam is called "polyurethane" and that's what crumbles without wear over time. As for 11's they use Phylon which is a more modern foam and that doesnt crumble. Great video though!
SneakerHeadInTheBay I found a really good price for these lebron 2s they are a deadstock pair my question Is a pair of deadstock lebron 2 that came out in 2004 wearable?
Sam they're brand new deadstock. I just had them for awhile and wanted to start wearing them. Paid around $400 when they were hyped and don't want them to just spoil and not wear them
I have a lot of air max from the early noughties. Some I wear and they're fine. Others are still brand new in the box with firm midsoles but I'm still scared to wear them. Some have clouded bubbles, but I wear them and they dont break. I guess its just luck lol
Hey bro, some rubbing alcohol got splashed onto the patent leather and near the jumpman on my bred 11s, i;ve tried cleaning them with no luck. If you know any way to get it out please let me know. Appreciate the help.
I was goina cop a deadstock pair of the "Air Jordan 13 Wheat" from 2005....good or bad idea, I'm just concerned that once I start rockin em, they'll fall apart in a month....any1 got some advice
my 06 metallic 5's have had foggy air units for years now. i wear them every week or so and they're still going strong (despite the sole needing a paint job)
Aye bro I know this would be hard to do but if you can do it can you make a video on how to put a paint splatter like on the Oreo 6s or the White Cement 4s. Thanks bro and nice video right here you doing it good for the bay.
Hey Bro ! Can you make a vid of how to clean icy soles ? I know you made a vid of that already but can you make one more in depth showing how you do it etc ? Thank appreciate it ! Would love if you used foams while cleaning .
i need your help bro! i have a completely ds pair of 01 bc 3s still factory laced and everything! the air unit is see through completely and super clear! you can check out my video on them if you wanna see! are they wearable tho? do you think so? please let me know! thanks bro! btw dope videos! keep it up
Just squeeze the midsoles a little! I would keep yours ds cause they're so clean dude... Maybe try them on every once in a while inside so you can keep life in them.
I am thinking about buying DS 2001 Black Cement 3s but I'm not sure if they are wearable, the air unit is a bit foggy and I cant tell if its major or not. Please let me know if its a shoe I can wear if I purchase it. Thanks :)
the first sign a shoe is not wearable is when your sole is 10 feet behind you during a walk.
lol 😂
i still wear my 2000 olympic 6s, everything you said is 100% spot on except the air unit, i mean my air bubble on the olympic 6s have been foggy since 2006-2007 and kept getting more foggy but still are wearable.
What does it mean when they "crumble"? Like that of a cookie when it crumbles?
yes, exactly what it means. They will literally fall apart. It's tragic.
That's wack. Now we have to wear our shoes, just can't keep them sitting around SMH.
Yup! I started back in middle school dude!
If the black isn't chipping, leave it as is and just do the white. If it is, then scrape it off with a sharp metal edge. I will show how to do that in an upcoming video!
good stuff man, i always wondered about some of this stuff and pretty much confirmed on it, esp w/the midsole aspects... thanks for sharing!
Do u think ds stealth 5s from 06 are wearable?
yes
I got a pair of 2001 bc3 with semi fog but the soles are super SUPER firm firm and I've worn them like 2 times with no crumbling
What about a pair of 2002-2004 orange box dunks?
Thanks for helping me answer some of these comments.
I have one question.
I've just copped a pair of 3s fire red from 2007. The condition is vnds (based on the seller's info). Will it crumble if I wear it now?
It could check the midsole
No problem!
No prob! Glad you can use it !
Unfogging units does not do anything. It's a temporary fix for looks. Just walk around in your 3s every once in a while.
Would u wear some 2009 Jordan 1s that are great condition
No problem Jason!
All I had on was some sandals. I've been chillin lately. Haha
Thanks for the clarification. I did not know.
My 2003 white cements have a Completely fogged air unit and I walk around in them just fine. And I am also. 250+ lbs ad 6'2. And they still did not crumble.
would ds '06 black metallic 5s be wearable today? Not very familiar with older shoes
Yea

Sound good to wear!
No probs!
I have a pair of 01 Mocha 3's and they have foggy midsoles but they have a Firm midsole can somebody please tell me why that is and if they are wearable?
They should be fine fam my bc3 from the same year still have A LOT of life in em even though the fog
Like I said, they can still be wearable with fogged units. Just know that they might crumble in a year or two.
Do you know of any professional sole swappers that you can ship to?
Quick question, which is better to cop to like make as beaters or just wear the shoe in general 2001 bred 11s or 2012?
What about the new Jordan's will they ever crumble like the new cement 4 or the new Bordeaux sevens from 2015 or the new fire red threes?
Alright thanks a lot. I tired that on my personal pair and, it worked but, I accidentally cut little holes into some spots on the midsole while doing it. It worked but, you could still see some of them. Look forward to seeing the video. Thanks again
Nice vid man. Was hoping you'd get into the type of midsole (polyurethane) and more tech and materials of the midsole in correlation to others. Overall. Great tips. I follow the same.
If the midsoles crumble can I repair them or out something in the cracks to repair and paint it or do I need to sole swap
Sole Swap.
I coped some 02 cool Greys 9 . They have a very little bit or some sole seperation in the middle . But none in the front or back .but the sepetation is about as thick as a finger nail ? Hit me back .
No prob!
Thanks for the clarification!
Would DS Jordan 6 dmp be wearable? I bought a pair and they midsole is clear
11s do not crumble at all. They are just as durable as the 1s.
Hey man, quick question. It's not really related but, its pretty important and, I figured that you would be the person to ask. So I'm repainting the midsole on a pair of 2011 bc3's and I am having a hard time removing the black "paint" off of the midsole.

Good info bro, I just bought some Jordan 3 lab 5 infared, they were DS so I was a lil skeptical about them. This video helped a lot.
I'm a new suscriber : your tips are so helpfull, it's gold for the new heads generation like i ;)
Keep it up man! Thanks 🙏
I'm considering buying a DS pair of Fire Red 5's from 2006. Should I be worried about not being able to wear them?
Gabriel Molock they will certainly crumble, just had it happen with some Carolina 5s
i have ds cool grey 3s you think they are warble
If I bought a DS pair of Jordan 3s from 2001 and I'm just displaying them with my other OG Jordans they won't crumble as long as I don't wear them and their merely a display piece, correct?
Not wearing increase the chance of crumbing unless you use a 3m bag to preserve them
To specify for the people that aren't that sure on foam, jordans 2-9 and shoes that use that foam is called "polyurethane" and that's what crumbles without wear over time. As for 11's they use Phylon which is a more modern foam and that doesnt crumble. Great video though!
SneakerHeadInTheBay I found a really good price for these lebron 2s they are a deadstock pair my question Is a pair of deadstock lebron 2 that came out in 2004 wearable?
Justin DiNapoli wear them just walk casually until it hardens up
The midsoles on those don't crumble.
Thanks for the support homie!
I got a pair of nike nrg 1 "galaxy" from 2012. Are they wearable? Or will the paint crack and will they crumble?
adrian I got the same question but for a 2013 fire red 3 pair
Pedro Velazquez you should be good, just be careful for the first 10 wears or so the foamll toughen up, 10+ years is when youll have to start to worry
adrian you should be okay as long as they've been taken care of, they're only 6 yrs old shoes typically start going at like a decade or so
Sam they're brand new deadstock. I just had them for awhile and wanted to start wearing them. Paid around $400 when they were hyped and don't want them to just spoil and not wear them
Just copped a pAir of metallic fives 07 deadstock wish me luck. I dint like the 2016 pair. I wanted these instead.
I have a lot of air max from the early noughties. Some I wear and they're fine. Others are still brand new in the box with firm midsoles but I'm still scared to wear them. Some have clouded bubbles, but I wear them and they dont break. I guess its just luck lol
Hey bro, some rubbing alcohol got splashed onto the patent leather and near the jumpman on my bred 11s, i;ve tried cleaning them with no luck. If you know any way to get it out please let me know. Appreciate the help.
I got offered prices ranging for $450-650 for my pair.

Awesome video dude. I just sed this video on my 99 fire red's... they weren't wearable. I took the midsole apart yesterday lol
If the shoes are deadstock can I still wear them and see if they can still be wearable ? Plz reply
Jesse Perez every shoe is different... DS shoes crumble faster than worn shoes... the moisture of your feet helps keep shoes wearable
Aye bro how would you reglue the toebox tip on Jordan 11's ? That's the hardest part. I looked everywhere and I can't find one. Help?
Nice to see someone with their own GOOD tee! 👌

Thanks bro, this was really helpful
Really?! My bad! Thanks for the correction!
very informative. everything is correct besides the air unit. nice song selection also haha big tymerz-still fly haha
I thought it depends on how much you wear a foam sole sneaker whether it falls apart or not🤔
Same thing as the rest, except you clamp it with your hands until it dries.
