I think the life tests are some of the best videos you guys do. Really enjoy perspective and it really gives the consumer justification on spending the kinda money to have Jordan's and answering that question, will they last? Dope as always. I think Life Tests are good for both retro and new shoes, sometimes the build of new shoes and modern materials don't last as long and the old school leather sneakers.

[@IntegranWo1]

I think that Air Jordan 3s made after 2013 will last a lot longer than the previous models. The way they paint the midsoles now leads to less chipping. Only thing you gotta really worry about is creasing on the toe box and keeping the air bubble windows clean with the newer models. I'm gonna have to say that they can last 8 to 10 years with moderate use.

[@bridgeportmusic4039]

Finallyyyyyy I love when you guys do life tests in my opinion it's the best segment on the whole show like fr I like when you guys show a indepth review of a show but love when you take it a step further and show us how the show holds up 🙌🙌🙌

[@phileickmeyer2493]

I have a pair of 3s ive been wearing off and on since 2013. The midsole has seperated around the same place yours have but i re-glued them. Midsoles are still holding up for now and the air units are still clear but being 10 years old it wont be long the midsole will start crumbling. Im really impressed with them and they are alot more comfy than when they were new.

[@phileickmeyer2493]

I also think that wearing your sneakers prolongs the life of them. I guess it helps push the moisture out of them. 10 years out of a pair of 3s is insane but i wear mine alot. They have paint chips, creasing etc but they still look good and look killer

[@HandionisMatos]

A month ago I copped a pair of Air Jordan 3's Georgetown from a local seller on Facebook Marketplace. They were manufactured 6 years ago but the Seller took real good care of them. There is very little wear on them and no signs of breaking or peeling. They are definitely true to size and feel a little wider than a fresh pair of Air Max.😃😃👟👟👍👍❤❤💌

[@jaygatling1977]

The fact that these sneakers can't last 10 years shows the lack of quality used in making these expensive sneakers.

[@trevorhsu-mdh-5684]

Agree. The weak spot is the soles. Really wish the polyurethane soles (or whatever they are) were infused with black and white pigment instead of paint. The paid cracked on my 2013 fire reds after 6 years of storage without ever wearing on feet. Why do they have to paint the soles? Must be some way to infuse the colors

I own the 2011 black cement 3s and the only thing I can relate to in this video is the paint cracking. I also consider them my “beaters” because I’ll reach for those whenever it’s raining or I’m going to a crowded event like an NBA game. I bought the most recent 2018 release but I still tend to reach for my 2011 pair because they just feel safer 🤷🏻‍♂️ I’ve been seriously considering having them repainted because the cracking just keeps getting worse unfortunately.

[@kAiLoNg1]

What do you think about the white cement free throw line

[@matthewbryant2972]

Life test the NikeCourt Air Zoom Vapor X shoes. They had a Tiger print color way on clearance for $90 so I got a pair and now they are all I feel like wearing... so much mesh though, it's getting too cold for those to be casual shoes in the evening; the design seems so good, they should just make an all leather version. That shoe is legit next level stuff though

[@jd88gtr19]

Most certainly those are not falling apart, that's a very simple re glue and it doesn't really even need a repaint as far as I'm concerned those have at least another 6 years. The pros of you wearing them so much means the foam in the mid sole did not have a chance to get stale as it were and it's got a crumble a lot less soon.
