are you new to the sneaker game and worried about your shoes creasing like this trust me a lot of
people are in today's video i'm going to be going over five different jordan models that are known
for creasing soon as you wear them that way you guys have a better understanding on what you're
getting yourself into when you go to purchase a new shoe and if you guys didn't know by now my
name is dj and this is the dna show so the first thing that i need to address when we start this
video is we're always going to have the people in the comments section talking about oh it doesn't
matter creature shoes they're meant to be worn i completely understand that but on the other hand
people want to take care of their shoes people want to clean their shoes they want to worry
about the creasing and make sure that the shoe is able to last for the long haul that way they
don't have to worry about spending x amount of dollars on another new retro when they know that
they could already take care of the pair that they have so there's obviously gonna be polar
opposites when it comes to people's opinions but i can guarantee you a lot of people have
frustrations when it comes to creasing on these particular shoes throughout this process in the
video i'm gonna also be giving you guys quick tips and tricks for each and every model of sneaker
that way you guys have a better understanding on how to rock it or how to store it and prevent
those creases in the long haul so a lot of people talk about the air jordan 1 and their problems
with this shoe creasing and obviously everybody loves air jordan 1 so it completely makes sense
but i'm not really fully putting this one on the list simply because we know this is kind
of a no-brainer and everybody talks about this one but we always get the creasing across the toe cap
or the creasing on here on the back end around the heel and if you guys want me to make a more
full dedicated video around the creasing around this shoe in particular especially how to prevent
the creasing on the back end let me know and i can make a video for that also stick around to the end
of the video for a bonus sneaker on the list to see what jordan model i think is the most hated
and the worst creasing model out of all of these so i had already made the list of the
five sneakers that i wanted to present to you guys in today's video but i also posted a poll
on instagram to see what everybody else thinks as well just because i know everybody has different
frustrations and their feet are shaped differently and there's creasing depending on how people wear
their shoes and stuff so i was interested to see what everybody said on the three jordan retros
that they have the most problems when it comes to creasing so as you can see right here just
from scrolling a little bit there's definitely people having different problems with different
retros and there's a lot of commonalities as well you'll probably see some of those on this
list so if you guys haven't already make sure you follow me on ig so you can participate in
all the polls and see all the results here on the channel now let's get into the first shoe
first up we have the air jordan 11 and when it comes to this shoe it's all patent leather right
here on the upper around the toe cap so a lot of people get creasing on the inside of the foot
immediately once they wear the shoe they see kind of like a small little crease right here and over
time it can get either wavy or just crease really really hard depending on how they wear their shoe
as you can see right here i personally wear my pears super super loose that way i don't have to
worry about it creasing right here if you tie up the sneaker and it's a lot tighter around the foot
it's going to crease right here immediately and you're going to have a very nasty crease over time
another big problem that a lot of people have when it comes to creasing on the jordan 11 is actually
not the patent leather but the leather tab right here around the back end on the heel of the foot
as you can see right here i do have some creasing i wear this shoe pretty often on the inside of
the foot there's a lot more creasing than there is on the outside of the foot but there's a lot
of different factors that can cause this to happen from driving putting the shoe on too fast a lot of
different things i think one thing that you should always consider when you're rocking the air jordan
11 when you get ready to put the shoe on stick your finger in the back end on the heel right here
and slide your foot in and don't just immediately push your heel down into the leather right here
because that can easily make the shoe crease on the backing and again when you're wearing your
shoes be natural don't walk crazy you don't have to worry about the duck walk it's okay everybody
deals with creasing these little things can help you prevent those creases from looking really bad
or happening more often next up on the list we have the retro air jordan 3. i think this shoe
right here as you can see there's some slight creasing i actually have these stuffed right
now so that's what helps me prevent that creasing and get it out but once i put the shoe actually
on my foot it definitely kind of eliminates that creasing i think a lot of people see the creasing
on their jordan threes typically once they take their shoe off and they're letting it sit
while it's sitting on a rack or inside of his display case or something like that
so typically once i'm done wearing the shoe i'll stuff it like this to kind of eliminate that and
stretch out the leather a little bit just to get it back straight and smooth and firm again but i
know this is something that's basically inevitable when it comes to this shoe everything else on the
shoe sometimes you'll see creasing right here on the side of the foot just below the ankle area
but that's pretty common as well i don't think these are too bad and honestly i have worn these
a lot as well but i try to keep them clean and i try to take care of them so i think one of my
biggest tips and something that i always do is wear my shoes super loose so that way i don't
cause that creasing because when you wear this shoe tight as well your creasing is gonna be
really bad so like i said earlier one recommendation that i would always give
people when it comes to their jordan threes stuff them as soon as you get home and put them away
that way they can sit there and eliminate that creasing and then once you take that stuffing out
you'll definitely notice the difference between the shoe just sitting without the stuffing or not
i think one big problem a lot of people have with the jordan 3 in particular is when they look at
the toe down they always notice that crease line across the top of the foot but when it comes to
a natural person just walking down the street and see you rocking the shoe it looks extremely dope
on foot and they don't even really recognize the creasing i think that's something that us sneaker
heads are definitely really over critical about but at the same time a lot of people just don't
even really care they just appreciate the shoe or the colorway next up on the list is probably one
of the most important things that you guys will hear in this video and that's gonna be hitting
that like button and smashing the subscribe button we are very close to a million subscribers we only
need like 800 000 more but it's okay we're really close okay maybe we're not that close but it is
what it is we'll get there soon but anyways on to the next shoe the air jordan 4. now this is very
similar when it comes to the shape and style of the sneaker obviously there's some upgrades and
differences when it comes to the model in threes and fours but there's a couple of different areas
that you're gonna have creasing problems with when it comes to the shoe and that's actually gonna be
the back end right here around the heel as you can see there's some slight creasing and that's
from simply putting the shoe on or wearing it and driving and pushing the gas pedal or whatever it
may be that can cause creasing and another thing that a lot of people have problems with if you're
wearing like a low-cut sock or something like that this plastic piece will actually rub against your
achilles and it is not that comfortable so one thing that i always recommend for people rocking
fours always wear some high top socks because it just don't feel that good now one of the biggest
problems a lot of people have with jordan four's is going to be that same thing that toe-down
look and the big old crease that goes kind of diagonally across the middle of the toe box this
is something that is again very hard to eliminate just simply on the construction of the shoe and
one complaint that i've heard from a lot of people is the air jordan 4 fire red that recently came
out the leather feels really solid and it feels really nice but they actually came low-key kind of
creased up on people before they were even able to wear the shoe so sometimes you'll get a brand new
dead stock sneaker fresh out the box and you'll be like oh i finally got my first jordan retro for
and then you open the box and you're like bro these things are already creased up it's just
something that naturally happens based off of the materials and how the shoe is configured and we
just gonna have to deal with it my pair actually came in really solid condition compared to some
other ones that i've seen online they do have some slight little bit of creasing but i honestly got
lucky with these ones next up on the list is going to be actually a few different jordan models and i
just kind of want to bundle them all in the same category simply because not everybody even really
wears these models that much but i personally have pairs of my collection and i do have troubles when
it comes to these shoes and that's going to be the air jordan 16 17 and 19. the air jordan 16 and
19 both have very similar toe caps on them with the patent leather and as you can see on the top
right here from the toe down there is definitely creasing and kind of wrinkling on these two shoes
and that's just something that's gonna naturally happen just simply based off of the materials
and this is like inevitable as soon as you rock this shoe you're just not getting around it and
when it comes to the air jordan 17 these also have a very similar toe cap just in a leather version
and it has that same kind of issue when it comes to that so if it's patent leather or leather
whatever it may be it's still gonna crease and i know we have a bunch of hypebeast view in the
video and nobody cares about the higher numbers but i'm telling you right now these are jordan
models and we should appreciate them as well and i had to mention them in this video okay next up
on the list we have the air jordan 5. now this one in particular is a very interesting shoot
as you can see right here the creasing on the toe box is not that nice and it doesn't look too good
and typically it always happens on the inside of the foot around the big toe you see that crease
as soon as you rock them it just it's just like something that a lot of people just don't like
that or they'll have the creasing around the backhand around the heel but typically that toe
down right there around the big toe the crease is vicious so one thing that i have learned to
combat that issue over the years is getting darker colored air jordan fives with different types of
materials other than the white leather for example the black grape v as you can see right here it
blends in a lot more the crease isn't nearly as bad and you can't even really see it that much
even with this old burgundy 5 that has been worn so many times there's a huge crease that goes over
the top of the toe box and you can't even really see it that much just because of the material and
once you actually put these on foot nobody even notices but one thing that you're gonna have to do
is probably stay away from the white leather air jordan fives and that consists of a lot of dope
color ways fire red the other fire red the stealth the grape and the list goes on trust me there's a
lot of bangers with the white leather on them but i personally have never been a fan of that nasty
crease so because of it i've always gravitated to the darker colored different material type
air jordan 5. okay now on to the last and final bonus sneaker on the list and i think probably
a lot of people don't even want to buy this shoe simply because it creases so bad they get so
pissed off that they just don't even want to spend the money on it and a lot of people appreciate
this sneaker and love this sneaker but at the same time they know the struggle and that is
i know you know the outsole the air jordan 10. this shoe has a huge leather panel that goes
around the front end of the shoe and these are actually brand new dead stock fresh out the box
still got a crease on the toe ridiculous so when it comes to rocking the jordan 10 as you can see
from these photos for example there's definitely going to be a huge crease that goes over the top
of the foot and damn near makes you want to just turn them into hoopers as soon as you rock them
after the first day or you're gonna have creasing on the back end of the shoe so yes the shoe looks
amazing on foot and all those different things but people hate the creasing and again this is
white leather so what could you do to combat that issue maybe consider something like the shadow 10.
i've actually worn this shoe about three or four times and cleaned it up and the creasing look at
that these look way better than the other ones and i think it's simply because of the materials
and the shoe being darker and the suede compared to the leather and that's what kind of allows you
to see more minimal creasing compared to those big marks that go across the toe of the foot so that
was a quick list i hope this was informational and helpful again if you guys haven't already
