Still Wearing Disintegrating Nikes, Soles Falling Apart
These were one of the many pair of sneakers I purchased in the late 1990's when a sneaker chain near here folded and sold their remaining stock for a few dollars a pair. Most of them have fallen apart, but these were still in good condition until about a year ago when the air sacks crumbled. No problem, I actually find airless Nike airless air sneakers more fun to wear. Actually, after a few minutes I don't even notice the difference.
Anyway, the soles had started to crack. Then I wore them to a trade show, and the heel of the outersole on one sneaker came detached from the air sack and was dragging on the floor as I walked. I had to borrow some duct tape from an exhibitor to make a repair. I intended to glue the heel back on, but I've worn these from time to time since, and the duct tape is still holding.
