Disappointed with GPS durability after just two weeks

I’ve been wearing my shoes for two weeks now. The upper material of my right shoe started flaking already after a few walks. 2 weeks later and big chunks have fallen off already.

I’m really curious if this is just me and a few others, or if this could be a bigger issue. Were all of them produced in 2022? Could that be causing the problem? Are there pairs with a later production date that don’t have these issues?

Thanks a lot!

Wanted to post difference in deterioration between left and right pair after 3 days of wearing them brand new for holiday.

A lil’ storytime, bear with me - I was one of the few who won the MY3.0 allocation in September (not pre-order).

I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the e-mail come in, considering I had been away for travels and didn’t exactly rack up a high score during summer camp. That was the moment I thought I’d lucked out with the year going so well, and the Mars Yards have always been my grail. I remember resale prices being 5K USD for the earlier versions. I promptly paid and had my order canceled due to the forwarder address. Had a lot of back and forth e-mailing TS Store, even had help from people in the US to call them to get them to respond to my e-mail. Many links were resent but they just couldn’t seem to work.

I never gave up contacting them, even though my friend in the US has given up calling the store and suggested they’d probably sold my pair. Up until 2-3 weeks ago, I had been e-mailing them every few weeks to follow up. Lo and behold, finally the link worked and I decided I wasn’t going to risk it. I’d pay extra for direct shipping to my country and even bear the taxes. Shipping was $50 and taxes roughly $45. Only took a week via FedEx.

Just wanted to share this really special moment with all of you. Super happy to finally own a pair of Mars Yards. Amaze amaze amaze!!

Edit: I also saw several owners recommending going TTS, so I was worried going half up would’ve been too big but after trying them on, I’m really glad I went half up.

Real or Fake?

Marketplace these are the only pics they provide I’m assuming fake but I don’t know much about these. I know they’re commonly faked. 2.0s btw at least they claim that

Replica chess pieces

I am not able to travel to see the Furniture exhibition so thought I might replicate some of it for my own collection. Not 1:1 accurate but that’s fine. A fun and fairly simple build.

Worn twice. What is going on? That “skin” above the midsole is cracking and will start flaking away pretty soon.

Anyone else seeing this issue? Absolute dog shit quality.

Shoulda got the bead. That’s it..
