After the jordan 09 yellowing thread, I went to check on my DS space jams to see if they started yellowing,  yes they were.  So I went to check on the rest of my clears soles that I have in my collection ds, Foam's, V's, VI's, XI's.  What I noticed the most was the yellowing from my infrared's from the pack.  These are less than a year old and my soles are turn yellow. I bought a pair to keep on stock for later down the line and they are already turning at a fast rate...is this happening to anyone else's?


DS INFRARED

Maybe you should wear your shoes instead of creating threads when inevitable things occur.

I just keep them stored on my shelf in the bag. These I didn't get in a box. Should I take them out the bag?

I do rock my shoes, like i said i have one to rock and one to stock . So i can rock them later on.

Well now you know now that it is pointless to leave clear sole J's, OR ANY J'S FOR THAT MATTER, DS. Wear them. They will either crumble, have sole separation, or the air units will pop in a few years if and when you do wear them. They will turn yellow regardless. Especially 6's.

The best way to keep all your J's DS, ICY, and showcased, is to take some really good pictures of them when they are new or on your feet, post the pictures, print the pictures, and look back at them whenever you want. Many years from now, they will still be

People should really give up on "stocking up" on shoes with clear soles if they can't deal with discoloring....however I own a pair of infrared VI's that I've actually worn a couple of times and they haven't yellowed that bad yet. I don't keep them in the bag, in fact they are sitting out in the open.

My White infras have been worn maybe 3 times and I keep them out of the box and they're still looking as icey as when I bought them. The black ones are getting darker but cause of the dirt since I've worn them a bunch of times.

Mine have a hint of yellowing. It all depends on how you store them. Silica packs, controlled temp rooms, in/out of the box, saran wrap, etc...Many people have their own way of storing shoes so any can help, just depends on what works for you. I just rock all my J's. I take pics of them and save them to look back on how they originally looked when I first bought them
