I know the inner tab might crack but the carbon fiber plate won't crack will it?
Just want to be sure because I might be getting some OG 12s soon
and I weigh around 150-160 if it matters |
well my friend purchased a pair of og breds and the sole fell off the same day he wore it so idk, guess it just depend on your weight because he is 220 pounds so you shouuld be good man |
thanks to everyone that answered 
guess I'll cop and see what happens

sure it's cool having og's but what good are they if you can't rock them.

I agree with you. I'd only want shoes i can wear but a lot of people enjoy displaying unwearable shoes. Depends on the person i guess

& the midsole feels pretty soft but still a little bit firm to hold my weight for a while.
Kind of feels like hard cushion.
& I just cleared the air bubbles w/ a blow dryer.
Do I have a possibility of making them rockable?
& I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like the blow dryer made the midsole softer. iono that may just be me. |
You have any pictures you can provide? |

Those look good to me
As far as the soft yet hard midsole, it might be in your head. You need firm midsoles to wear em and i think i get what you're trying to say. Nice clean pair of white cements |
Yeah i know bro, like i didn't either to decide if it's hard or soft.
Cause i don't know how they originally feel. So i wouldn't know.
Thanks!
Maybe imma just wear them very lightly & see wsup from then.

Well you can wait for a 2nd opinion BUT I'd say they are UNwearable and if they are i think they'd break down any day because therre such a old sneaker, and air jordan 5's are one of the most fragile sneakers out there.
Although the pics when i click on them are small, the sole looks alright, there could be hairlinecracks that i can't see at the moment. The airbubble also looks alright to me but yet again my opinion would be UNwearable but you can wait for a 2nd opinion on these.

Those OG grapes are one of the cleanest pairs i've seen. Wearable? Most likely no.
Those will be an expensive yet nice add to the collection.

Question: i have white cement IVs (worn by me about 8 times, no hairline cracks) and they havent shown any signs of cracking/chipping, do i even have to worry about these cracking anymore since ive worn them so many times without a problem. (pic for help)
Same thing with my white infrared VIs, i got them over a year ago and have worn them 20+ times and the midsole is just as firm as the day i got them. so the question is, do i even have to worry anymore or should i be nervous when ever i put them on. some pics.
