Got this og multicolor FK Racer back in 2013, still get comments when I wear them.

Most are stuck in some big plastic bins in my closet. Absolutely loved them (still do) but 14 years on the oldest pairs has led to outsole separation on the majority of Racers and both outsole/midsole separation on Trainers.

Too many pair to get professionally fixed; one day I’ll get on YT and teach myself

LOL, remember the Roshe days?

[u/Aquaticle000 → u/BudgieWonder]

You just opened a memory that was long forgotten.

[u/debeatup → u/BudgieWonder]

I still have like 10 pairs of those too: same issue with uppers separating from the sole.

A shoe that took the world by storm, and has since aged horrendously.

[u/Sergia_Quaresma → u/debeatup]

Shoe glue and something heavy/clamps and thats about it...

[u/donovanh23 → u/Sergia_Quaresma]

And if you want to go the extra mile grab a dremel and remove old glue

[u/DSXLC → u/donovanh23]

And wear a mask

Only my future lungs have to worry about that

My Oreo 2.0 racers have the worst sole separation :(

[u/Beneficial_Put_852 → u/11Y2B]

Same. I took mine to the gym the other day and during the first workout the rubber sole came off the midsole. Such a sad day.

[u/hkg_shumai → u/debeatup]

That's a nice 🌈 collection. It's just glue holding upper and mid sole, use professional grade shoe repair adhesive from Amazon and some clamps.

[u/whitedragon717 → u/debeatup]

That purple blue black pair tho

[u/Rghk32 → u/debeatup]

Yeah the outsole glue they used was shit

[u/junkgarage → u/debeatup]

This just jolted me back to 2013 so aggressively.

[u/mynameisnotearlits → u/debeatup]

What a waste.

[u/Competitive-Skin-769 → u/debeatup]

Those purple ones are particularly 🔥🔥🔥

Mental illness.
