Questions about the durability of OG Jordans

[elizjon]

1. From the Jordan 1s to the 18s, which Jordans are the most durable in terms of lasting past a decade? Do the midsoles on all of them start cracking around the same time? Or what?


2. What is the best way to keep Jordans durable? Like the temperature of the room you store them in? Should they be in lightness or darkness? What are the overall factors involving keeping Jordans in the right environment to last?


3. Are OG Jordans that have cracked midsoles or fallen off soles able to be repaired?

1. I’d say the 12s are the most durable.

2. I’m not 100% about light or dark, but they should be in a box and worn from time to time. Don’t wear them on long walks, clean them after you wear them, etc.

3. Yes, you’d have to do a sole-swap with a similar pair. There’s YouTube videos on it.

1's

Ones are the most durable because the sole is rubber. There are still og Jordan 1s from 1985 that are wearable.

Probably the 8s and 12s.
I bought a pair of 2008 playoff 8s in the 6 grade and sold them on EBay after I graduated from college.
I bought a pair 2004 nubuck 12s in 2009 and they lasted another 4 years before the sole started to separate.

Think about this

They made some product that is more expensive than any other shoe, but falls apart after several years

The extra money didn't go into quality. Its all just hype

The most expensive sneaker should last indefinitely just sitting on the shelf. Not explode into a thousand pieces just from putting them on

Baby powder under the insole solves this

Keep them shyts in the box they came with, 70 degrees in a dark room, and don’t do stupid shyt like put them in a ziplock bag they need to breathe and all that does is accelerate midsole wear
