Ouch most of them would probably disintegrate unfortunately on first wear though the midsole from not being worn. Have you checked them?

This would be false all of these shoes are in mint condition or new. They were kept in a controlled enviorment and were treated better than my Sister in law.

The issue isn’t climate or storage related. It’s material related. The material Jordan’s are made of need to work in order to stabilize. Wearing a pair once and boxing them is the worst thing you can do for them. That’s why I say you should check them. Plenty of collectors out there pay good money for just uppers. As they anticipate having to restore, meaning replace, the mid soles. Just food for thought.

In that Youtube video,
the 7:45 time stamp is where the shoe collecting expert says that it's better to wear the shoes regularly starting from early in their lifespan, to keep them flexible.
That's preferable to getting a pair of "dead stock" shoes that have been put away for years.

--Assuming you want shoes to occasionally wear, not just sit on your shelf to show off to visitors.

Precisely. If you’re going to put ‘em on display. Which tbh the 12 pairs picture aren’t worth that. Then that works just fine. Without at minimum a couple presses to check the soles and other flexibility tests. Not to mention authenticity checks I can’t see more that 10-20 a box. Unless there’s some sort of certification process. The sad part is they’re all in my size.

If the fella was more interested in checking them instead of assuming they’re pristine we may be able to make a deal. For inherited shoes $600-1200 is more than generous.
