I've worn my Vlados everyday since I got them back in November, and they've become considerably worn. Mostly, the fabric has become really faded to a grayish (white in some areas) kind of color, and the fabric itself is coming out of the gum. I suppose I wear them quite a lot, but it's only been about two months. Has anyone else had this issue?
RechargedMy black pair is getting faded in spots as well, Fabric is kinda coming up out of the gum in front but its not too noticeable. I wear them to work almost everyday he past 4 months.
RechargedYea, they do fade. I have the red ones, and after rainy days or washing the colour fades significantly. The materials and sole are good tho.
I would consider them not a every-day shoes, but once in a while. They look dope.
I try to clean them minimally and put care products to protect them from rain, mud etc ;)
RechargedHad this issue as well. My biggest gripe was how quickly the fabric developed holes in it. Even while I was paying considerable attention to keep them nice and fresh. Would not recommend
