It really does make a difference pulling the paper out.
The paper has chemicals that aren't good for your clear soles

Ive had my pair of Fire Red V's from 2000 in the box with the paper since January of 2000. They are still icey. Ive always had them in a cool dark closet, and always stored them at the bottom of the closet. From what I understand the air is a little cooler at the bottom. I could be wrong about the air, but I still do it anyway.

Really? It hasn't been really hot in LA lately though, its at a cool 75 right now, I didn't know that the soles might separate even if the shoes are DS. I was told I can seaglow them even if new. Hmmm, now you got me thinking, soles don't look yellow from side view angle but if you see them from the bottom, then damn...here's a side view angle....Originally Posted by Sneak King
IF you seaglow those joints outdoors during this Blazing summer, go ahead and run to Home Depot or Lowes to grab some contact cement. I seaglowed my 2000 SJ's and there was MAD sole separation. contact cement works wonders though. I've used it on those and my 2001 Black Cement III's (Nike Air Bi#%es!!!!!!) as well as the SJ's. Solid as they were when brand new!!!
Kind of off topic, but so are SJ's in the Concord thread.
So for all those who are experts on seaglow....NO SEAGLOW on DS 2009's or YES??

I want to wear them, but I still got my other '09 pair, not brand new but still wearable. I was hoping to wear my DS pair whenever I have a kid in the future, since I too bought crib size Jams....

If your outside temp is 75 degrees, you should be golden! I'm in Dallas and when I Sea glowed, it was at least 92 and I let them sit out there for about 30 minutes too long. (Damn COD!) But I'd say you should be good...and I KNOW dudes were seaglowing the SJ's while DS. That's how half these cats ended up with blue tinted soles. Go for it. But if ever you DO see sole separation...Now you know what the cure all is. Good luck!

Same here, I've never had issue with the paper. Who came up with that theory by the way? Yes the paper making process involves chemicals, but has that really been proven to yellow the sneakers?
2001 True Blue, 2001 Black/Cements have been stored with the paper for over 10 years now, and they still look new.
We see people showing off their shoes like display pieces, and shoes are all out in the open taking in sunlight, moisture, and dust. That's what's yellowing your shoes faster.

i'm still trying to wrap my mind around how paper causes yellowing...
especially considering the yellow color change is caused by oxidation..
my dmps and cg's show no yellowing, both just left in box with paper..
i definitely dont see how it can change clear soles...white soles perhaps, at which point it would actually be staining the shoe considering the color of some of the older jordan and nike paper is a beige look. as far as changing the icey soles..ehh

Isn't this a forum about Concords? Why are we talking about Spacejams?

I have been wondering the same thing as well...there's NT'ers on here with DS pairs that has yellowed or some yellowing already. I mean the tags on the re-stock says 2009 but yet it still has a STRONG glue smell and super ICY bottoms. How are they stocking their pairs to make it look so crispy and smell so new compared to the pairs we have here in the states? I really want a pair of Jams but this re-stock is suspect to me. Like someone said on here...isn't there a code on the tag where you can hit up NIKE and ask them if the pair is legit? I guess my question is...was this really made in 2009 and kept ICY since then or did they just make this and slab a 2009 tag on them. If someone could help me answer this question it would be so helpful as I'm planning to get some Jams and was wondering to get it from a re-stock or look for a DS slight yellowing ones as far as legit factor go's. Thanks fellas!
As far as Eastbay or my local NikeTown having re-stock on Cool Greys and being so icy, I can believe that. those were made last year but the Jams?
Sorry if it's not a concord related question and spacejam topic is long gone and i really didnt think i should make a new topic for one question.

Very good point topnotchflip. My Jams are also DS but have some yellowing on the soles even though there is no paper inside the box. How can sites like SDS and AR have super icy shoes that are almost 2 years old? Even if they are legit, it still makes you wonder.Originally Posted by topnotchflip
