Who would be dumb enough to clean boost using paper towels with dye in them? I'm talking about plain white paper towels. And really what I recommended was a white cloth, with paper towel as a second option.
As I said, exposure to chemicals speeds the yellowing process of boost, that's a well known fact. There's a transparent, extremely thin layer of protective material on boost, it wears away as you wear the shoes, but also is worn away faster if you use chemicals to clean, and yes I'm counting soap as a chemical here.

I mean,
A lot of plain white paper towels aren't actually white is what I'm getting at and I've seen people **** up their boost for using that. As for the protective layer you're gonna have to provide some actual proof on that front. Again, I'm not talking about going to town on your shoes with something like a clorox wipe, but it's best for getting off small stains since you don't need to scrub.
good luck dude might be too late, even in this weather

I get off in a few minutes. I tried calling them to see if it was too late to even bother but no pick up. Not surprised though.

How do you guys feel about buying from FB groups? I joined a group recently (NMD Worldwide) and some of these guys have literally dozens of pairs (OG) on hand for sale. Then there's the question of authenticity and such...

Got through on the phone with Extra Butter right when I was about to leave work. Sold out about 20-25 minutes ago lol. Saves me $2.75 I guess.

I mean, I've only used clorox wipes on my beater pair of boost a handful of times and that's it and that was specifically after paper towels with just a bit of room temperature water stained them. As for the protective layer, I don't doubt it's there, I'd just like actual proof since I've only ever heard talk of it and my worn in boosts look just as shiny as my non worn in. Again, not trying to argue, just saying that clorox wipes have worked in the past for myself and many others I know and haven't caused any yellowing as a result of use.
I don't think my initial reply was even that harsh, sorry I offended your guys' delicate sensibilities.
Go ahead and clean your boost w/ clorox all you want. I'm just offering my advice from extensive personal experience with many pairs of boost.
And the protective layer is not some new thing I'm making up, it's existence is fairly well known. Look at any DS pair of boost shoes you own and compare to a more beat pair. The boost on the DS pair will have a slight sheen to it while the boost on the beat pair will be much more matte.

I wouldn't say I have delicate sensibilities but the amount of passive aggressiveness you're spewing upsets me in many ways.I don't think my initial reply was even that harsh, sorry I offended your guys' delicate sensibilities.

The funny thing is I agree with your standpoint on the boost baby boy.

He wouldn't be acting that way if I posted here more tbh. I lurk way more than I post and it's easy to prey on people like me that have very low reputation.

At the end of the day all that really matters is that excessive cleaning of boost, no matter what the method, will cause it to yellow more quickly.
Cleaning w/ clorox wipes is not necessarily going to ruin your boost. But personally, I don't usually use anything more than a damp cloth.

Nah I rarely remember anyone's screen names to be honest. And I didn't even look at your post count or reps till you posted that.

And I agree that you shouldn't be using anything too crazy when cleaning boost as well, which
It's all good. I mean, I agree with you on being gentile with cleaning boost as it can cause yellowing, just saying that from experience clorox wipes have been gentile enough provided you don't scrub and only wipe. You do you though, not trying to convert you or anything.
