Jordan XI Heads: Is this normal yellowing?

[nikeaircobraben]

too much

 

[nickmcclure]

Yeah, that's fairly normal. Did you see this post from a few days ago? They are Columbias but I found it amazing. I still can't believe they are real.

[rudy]

[saymoregotsole]

Yup normal, my cords came a little yellow, some RIT and elbow grease makes em good as new.

 

[othelloxtwon]

they are legit....but who knows where the guy stored them

 

[blco02]

Buy some OG's and you will never have that problem.

 

[shoeheadlao]

Never seen that before, but they look legit too me.

 

[the j collector]

"barkeepers friend" will bring them back to life....... This is yet another reason why ppl shouldnt bother stocking majority white J's,
buy, and rock....
Dont waste money on joints that will rott in the box before you even un-d.s. them .....(Im speaking in general)

 

[brooklynnyc3000]

- Damn, did the seller did a terrible job storing those.

Any who, they look legit to me.

[optimusp517]

I can vouch for everyone else Bar Keeper's friend did the trcik for me

Looks like brand new

^ Barkeepers friend works on the patent too?? or just the straps....

 

[moneylicious]

Bar Keeper's Friend and RIT will work on the upper/mesh area. RIT > BKF when used correctly. RIT will actually stainthe mesh if done wrong.

Seaglow will work on the soles, but it takes aloooot of applications and time.

And there is no hope for yellowed patent leather.

 

[blackmambakb24]

its normal.

 

[luvtheshoe]

Mine were purchased from eastbay and came like that.

 

[pro11]

Never seen it before

 

[jordan23head]

Normal but can be cleaned

 

[ultraman71]

[airjordan7237]

[vsano]

Those yellow thing looks like molds creeping on the shoes....

 

[chriso89]
