Bit late back to this. Been catching Joe up turning 40 and recovering from the process. I bought these Griffey's in 96
These 95's in 97
S'pose these are snides too. I got burgled in the late 90's - got my entire stash stolen - only left what i wearing plus a few pairs kicking about the house (#csb). Both these are completely wearable in terms of the materials. Any use of natural elastomers/rubbers is always gonna cause probs in the long term due to their crumbling/oxidation. Man-made polymers, etc are obvs way better. The thing that irritates me most about shoe construction is that it could be done so much better - painted midsoles the worst culprit.
