Dunks are bomb proof whilst all my AF1 from same era with white midsoles go piss yellow from oxidisation.
The killer of old Nike EVA midsoles is fungus which will just get into it and rot it from the inside out almost literally. Thats what kills all your 80's runners and b-ball shoes when midsole starts going grey and mottled then falls apart. Nike came up with Phylon which was fungus proof pretty much but the adhesives they use just seem to be randomly resistant to aging.
