Already

It's fukkin' crazy. Dudes really don't take care of theys kicks.


Several months down the line and they looking like cake beaters already.


Like a pitcher after a game... i stay keeping my shiit on ice (until a later date of course... just waiting for the kids to wear them out first. heeehee)


I remember back in january 15, just 2 months after the release of the Infrared 6... i was at the rental car return spot in Sac town and the chick who was checking out my rental at Avis was like, "Oh dang, your 6's are mad clean!" I just said thanks boo. In my head i'm thinking, "Ummm... these just released two months ago... big deal."


But that had me in epiphany mode... as her comment was just a testament to how people just tend to fukk up their kicks so abruptly. It's not like i walk like i got a phallus in my ass or with crease protectors; i step to life's beat like any normal bi-pedal human does (only difference is that i don't choke the shiit out of my lacing like most awkward newbies do... but no chastize, more power to you if you do, i just prefer my shoes to stay fresh for as long as humanely possible --- and i clean the bottoms very frequently).

Sneaker maintanence isn't really an art... you just have to be mindful of these puppies of an investment and treat them the way you'd like to be treated. Acccordingly.

Spoiler

And they should treat me the way i deserve to be treated. Like a delicate thug flower... Umph.

 

[Ohene]

already told myself when i bought them that i'n not wearing my elevens until i get around to buying sole protectors.

same with my 12s...want the carbon fiber to stay fresh

as far as ppl dirtying them up...i've seen dudes on the bus in them and shyt...mind you this is during a canadian winter.
but some people might not have any other shoes like that. its annoying to look at but you cant really fault them...its their money let them do what they want.

 

[Larry]

nah we say that cause we see the same people doing the same shyt fukking they shoes up. if that's all they had was one pair why not take that $200 and buy 2 or 3 cheaper pairs?

Never forgot 2 weeks after taxi 12 release in 2013 nikka shyts was fukkED UP.

I used to beat the fukk out of the Jordan's I didn't care about but kept my white cements in prestine condition (played ball in em once) while my black cement 3s are getting restored. Revamping my sneaker closet was a great way of starting over none of my new joints are beat now

 

[Romey Rome]

So I might go for the cp3 13 china exclusives. What's a decent price to pay for them ?

EDIT: duke just hit me saying 400 shipped. I'm not trying to spend that much on a all white shoe I'll wear 3-4 times tops. Y'all think I can talk him down to about 350?
