I have another pair which I have never taken out of the box since release day, and the netting is still ice.
All I'm saying is these will Yellow over time, especially of you wear them

They’ll begin the turn as soon as you take them out and wear them for any real amount of time. And by real amount of time, I mean just a few weeks.

Embrace the yellow, or whiten them up?
Man I've been wearing mine as beaters and they're not that yellow! I think they look nice as they yellow though.

My worn pair. Took a quick pic last night. I’ve got nowhere near that sort of yellowing on either of my pairs. Not sure how dudes are storing their shoes. Maybe storing them outside of the box indefinitely and leaving them on the floor? Idk. My pairs are not yellowed like that at all and Ive worn my pair a good amount of times. I also have always taken really good care of my shoes though. Understand everyone’s not the same.

Mine's just on the floor and not on the box anymore, maybe it's the humidity in their area?

Always felt these look terrible with the side mesh yellowed.

My try on whitening up the side panels failed catastrophically. I tried salon 40 and left them in the sun for a few hours. guess what, they got even more yellow!

Just checked my pair. Thankfully they’re still looking crisp. Reminded me to get these out this spring though.

Same happened to me they got even more yellow after using salon 40 and a UV. I never had this happen before I have done the grapes and other past 5's with no issues. Seems like these have a different netting material than the previous 5's which doesn't agree with salon 40.

The leather on these feels pretty nice/soft. At least on the pair I have. I was surprised.

Nike needs to bring back that OG netting that doesn't yellow. The netting and shape of the 1990's is perfect.

I've been thinking about doubling up on these, for the last year.
Its become one of my all time favorite sneakers to wear.

These may not be the easiest silhouette to wear but I think this is the best Jordan ever created visually. Such a an iconic shoe and something I will always remember seeing Jordan and Will Smith rockin and begging my mom to cop for me. The day I got these will always be burned into my memory. One day I’ll get the again.

Yup, both of those.
As well as the huge, stiff tongue.
