It's not the paper, it's not the box. Putting them in drop cases or plastic bags won't matter.

It's a chemical reaction within the coating of the shoes. It's just going to happen, some more prominent than others.

and keeping them out of the box or wearing them likely slows down or prevents the process

You can't stop it, you can only hope to contain it. #GlitterGate #GlitterTwins #TinkerbellStrikes

Your 1’s need some sun too you know.... so rock your kix regularly is highly recommended

 

[0takusamsay]

I don’t baby my pairs lol. Just haven’t worn them yet that’s all.

That's good do you still have boxes?

Y’all dudes with twinkle toe versions of DS breds better do what I did and just stockX those pairs.

I had a pretty bad case of glittergate breds back in October and I had to let them go ASAP

if the shoes are ds, and the glitter wipes off, why sell them, unless you didn't replace them and just kept the profit

Cardboard absorbs moisture, I've had old shoeboxes (without shoes in them) (particularly, my old DWades box from '06) develop thick crystallization--i.e., layers and layers of 'glitter'. If you don't keep your shoes in the shoe box then you shouldn't develop 'glitter'. Also, if you have a walk-in closet attached to your bathroom/shower (popular layout in apartments) then don't keep your shoes in that closet or keep them in that closet and don't take hot showers. Spend some money on drop-fronts, a suitable shelf, or other shoe storage unit. And if you've developed glitter, wipe the area down with white vinegar or rubbing alcohol.

is that better than using leather conditioning wipes?
or just economical?

It’s from the paper in the box

No it’s not. We’ve been through this several times. It has nothing to do with how they are stored.
You can wipe them off often or get rid of them. That’s all you can do. It’s nikes choice of paint or sealer on the black parts of the shoe.
Let’s stop going around and round on this, we’ve had a lot of conversation about it.

 

[dachosen1]

Yup! Definitely just the black leather.

 

[vzy085]

Sold a pair of breds a few weeks back with tons of glitter on them .. Person knew they had glitter but he said looked worst in person smh

 

[coach js]

so, going to Florida for a few days and trying to only bring one pair of good shoes. I kno, crazy.
is it time to unds these finally?? or trophy room 16s? decisions decisions.

 

[kobeoverbron]

The qc on these is definitely solid in regards to factory flaws. The leather discrepancy from pair to pair is quite annoying but glad i got a solid looking one

gottamb how is your pair leaps and bounds better than mine?! crazy.
the black leather used on your pair is money. mine is the regular ones.
not mad at my pair, just jelly.

Have you not been paying attention? Many of the people having the issue keep them in dry conditions with dropfront boxes. Its long been understood not to be the cardboard.

 

[0takusamsay]

That's one of reasons 1s get glitted

 

[kobeoverbron]

So is it safe to say the box and tissue is the sole cause of glittering?

 

[dachosen1]

Yeah keeping it inside the box this whole time probably accelerated the process.

 

[louytromps]

I store my 1's inside the Clear Drop Front boxes. Most of them have the glitter. No paper or anything else inside with them.

I was trolling.
guys kept "scientifically" proving it's the box when it's been well known it aint the box

 

[squatchnt]

While discussing all the different theories keep in mind that only black parts are affected. I haven't had problems cleaning it when it has happened so it is what it is meh..
