Wore my pair maybe 3-4 times and still icy soles. Deadstock pair is icy as well with a hint of yellowing around the pods on the sole. Barely noticeable unless you look closely though.

mine are DS and a tiny bit yellow around the pods...
but i've been told if you dye them over and over again with the blue rit dye (b4 you unDS them, basically), it will keep them icey much, much longer...
is that true?

My pair is still DS and yellowing slightly around the pods. No biggie. When I start rocking them to death and they turn piss yellow is when I'll worry.

^^^This 100% agree I've been saying this for a while now ...Nike/JB need to get back in the lab instead of just designing lighter material

my pair started to yellow around the pods slightly but retrobrite took care of that. they now can pass for DS, the soles still have that greyish blue tint.

yellowing is inevitable it can only be slowed. most are probably yellowing a little even if ds

i took my paper out after like 3 months after release..it was speeding up the yellowing. I store em with a few silica packs in my closet. they look good last time i looked which was over the summer.

It does actually.. for those who actually wear their shoes, you'll notice that the yellowing doesn't SPREAD, it only stays in the area that consistently is touching the ground / dirt. For those that have theirs DS, the only thing that you have to worry about is around the pods because of the glue under the sole I think (which has nothing to do w/ the blue tint).
Wore my pair again today and the outer sole that is actually visible when looking at the shoe is still blue and icy.
Oh yeah..............HA.

I have a deadstock pair that has never been tried on or worn. It is sitting in the box in the closet away from light, heat or extreme cold and the bottom is slightly yellowing. The soles are pretty terrible imo with the CG XI.
