i use zip lock bags and i double bag them with a footaction or nike bag. this method tends to slow the yellowing down.

i put silica packs in my varsity red 6s and they still havent began yellowing yet, didnt take the paper out tho. i feel like that is useless but yea silica packs work replace them every month or so. honestly i just find silica packs at any department store they put them in all the clothes and shoes, but i guess u could buy em too

This is a old school method that works. Another way of preventing them from yellowing is to maintain the shoes in an area of the house where the weather does not effect them. If you are lucky I would recommend you to keep them in a moist free environment. Get yourself 2 gallon ziplock bags and do not close the bag. Leave it open so the shoe can breathe. Place some large silica packs near the opening and you should be good to go.

(These shoes are sitting at the same level.)

where were u when they Bordo's droped? that was the easiest release of the yr.

The madness wasnt that bad when the Bordeaux dropped. It wasnt that long ago, but it feels like 10 years have passed based on how hard it is to cop shoes these days. I remember copping 5 pairs just so I would be able to pick the 3 best and returned the two I didnt like.

Returned mine to nikestore yesterday, same day they were delivered. Idk what I was thinking. Thought I'd try out a white sneaker for once but wasn't for me. Black grapes will be doubled up on though. These weren't my grails or a must cop. Just idle hands and disposable income led me to purchase these. I'm an air max guy who occasionally cops J's and Foams.

They even skimped on the lacelocks. Damn JB what happened to the Jumpman?
View media item 405777
But like I said in my first post I should've already known that it would be like this dealing with JB.

good comparison, very nice pictures

This is the best advice, although I say skip the bags altogether. Any type of bag will increase chances of the leather drying out. Just leave them boxed with a silica pack or two, without paper, in a cool dry dark place.

 

[mjshoefanatic]

Great comparison up there. Me personally I'm satisfied with both versions.

Lol

 

[thuglife67898]

man since they used leather instead of cloth for the tongue the mesh gets all F**** up now. Why do these things JB why?!!
