Man, that is cool. I bet he's had some huge offers on that. No doubt it'll finally get sold and broken up once he kicks it. 8)

As the article shows, the problem with 'sneakers' is that they disintegrate over time, it can take as little as 5 years for the foam to turn to dust (much like the Dagobah play set!)

People do collect them and sell them for a lot of money, but it's a bit of a waste of time as you ultimately end up with a box of yellow dust :lol:

One style crumbled but the majority don't.personally I'd put more money into leather/rubber lasting than the plastic bubbles of MOCS. A pair of Adidas shelltoes will last way longer than a moc Rancor keeper IMO

The rubber and leather do, but it's the foam that falls apart which most trainers have in the soles. Take a look here:

Come on Edd, this was a great thread until you brought Nike into it :lol: :lol:

Interesting that hey replace the soles, I wonder if repro's might become an issue in the long term... or maybe a solution?
