bummer

hmm... take a look at the followin picture.

now, isn't it such an object of beauty? looks like its in very well kept condition too, ain't it?

but...

alas, things aren't as rosy as they seem lol. the midsole's totally wasted, in so sorry a state its beyond repair.

funnily enough, the reason why they got into such a shambolic condition is not cos of daily thrashing, but of non-usage. the airbag apparently expands slowly over time if left on its own without any weight acting on it. this would in turn push against the sole, makin it crack, which would ultimately result in pic #2.

its still lying around the place, as i still cant quite bear to throw it out yet haha. i dun think i'll be able to get a replacement, as a brand new pair, besides it prolly goin for quite a song, wun be very feasible for the above mentioned reason. and while im not averse to getting 2nd hand pairs, all i've seen so far on ebay are pretty mucked up.

and so i say bye bye to the shoes that jordan wore while makin "The Shot" part 1 against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
