Um, that's a curious request. Offhand, no. It's gonna require regular wear and exposure to UV from the sun; ya gotta EARN that worn look ;D
As for what kinds of Paints can do this, I know that Acrylic Fabric paint can do this, my 20 year old large Operation Ivy patch was done with Fabric Paints (Folk Art brand if I recall correctly [don't quote me on that, I don't have the tube of paint in the house as it's in storage.])
I agree with previous commenters but this idea just bumped in to my head, maybe it could help to achieve the effect; print thick as hell, dry the print for a long time under a hot lamp and let it visit the dryer.
Thick plastisol print + cure for less time than usual + wash hot + hot dryer = cracking / flaking. Water-based inks are much less prone to crack, though it sometimes happens with cure times that are way too long. As for discharge prints, forget it -- they virtually never crack unless the ink hasn't been allowed enough time to really sink into the fabric.
I hope you are not planning on selling new boots as old haha. Regarding the topic i know that people who relic new guitars use cooler spray to get the nitrocellulose laquer to crackle, so maybe in combination with the dryer trick it will get you there.
That being said i agree with the statements before, just "earn" it by wearing it for years!

I'm glad that's the case.
Love this one, the shape reminds me of a sports pennant and the colors are unusual for patches of that era.
where did you find this?!
Thanks man- a rare one im stoked to have
Well damn that's cold, I haven't worn it. But Yes, there's even a group on here with other shirts.
Thanks my friend \m/
This has been a lot of fun, huh? But it still has some life left.
I’ve always hated printed box shirts; however, I see a certain charm in this one.
Simple, but nice.
Nice and simple. Do you will consider to trade it?

Regular wear plus running it through a dryer on hot could help to achieve this.

The best way to recreate the cracked paint effect you can look online for a Photoshop brush set. Here's a company that makes em.https://simonstratford.com/shop/textures/vintage-plastisol-cracked-textures
