Review on Skechers Mens Skech Atlas Sneaker by Phillip Johnson

I love the look of these shoes and they are cheaper than the Nike Vapormax. My main problem with them is that after about a month the sole of the blister ruptured and now they creak annoyingly with every step. I've seen other reviews suggesting this isn't uncommon for this shoe. I've tried modifying/cutting the sole where it cracked but it still creaks. Not sure if these are old shoes (manufactured by Skechers in 2018) and the aging rubber/plastic on the outsole is part of the problem? I like the look but due to the squeaky outsole it's a waste of money.
