I dig these off-whites, but the majority of these new Nikes are not going to age well. If you like wearing your shoes, that probably doesn't make a damn bit of differenve, but if you're into colleting to stock (or hoard) - keep an eye out for the clean pairs. The messier they are the worse they'll age.
These glue stains are nothing short of horrendous and we're seeing them on virtually ALL pairs of the early Vapoaxes. This DS pair was graded a 7/10 due to the severity of the production flaws. Glue here, glue there, inconsistent construction. Lemme repeat - all of these early Vapormaxes (off-white or other) are COVERED in glue and crazy air bubble clouding or scuffing flaws.

#thesneakersavantrecommends :
To rock: wear these early and don't let them sit for long periods of time unworn. When shoes aren't worn the glue breaks down.
To stock: look for consistent glue stains (it would be a miracle for you to find a pair without glue stains) and look for crystal clear air bubbles. The more glue slathered on the air bubbles the quicker they're going to yellow prematurely.
