Well for the sole, there are 2 ways to take off the yellowing, Using Angelus Paint or Sand papering it off, BUT if sand paper is your last resort you mightwant to keep in mind that you will lose the texture of the sold and it'll will become very smooth and not rough.

For the tongue: you can use Lincoln EZ cleaner, RIT, or Bar keepers friend, which all can be bought from your grocery store.

I need help with this statement"1) Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Keeping them out of sunlight and dust will help you maintain the shoes lookinggood for when you're ready to wear them. There's nothing worse than opening a box of shoes you had been storing for a long time only to find outthey've yellowed due to the fact that they've been dried out and stored next to the heater!". Is he talking about the soles or the actual shoeitself? My 5's and foamposite soles are starting to yellow and i havent worn them . any ideas?ziplock bags? they are stored in my room which is normalhouse temp.,, thx

he's talking about any part of the shoe that's been yellowed or could be yellowed. once they are yellowed, ziplock bags are useless, unless your goingto use it to prevent anymore yellowing. i dont really know much about foamposites and where they yellow at, but as for your Vs im guessing your netting isyellowed? so the only thing you can do is seaglow them.

mmm for storing i would say cool dark place and put them in a ziplock bag.
for wearing dont wear them on hot days.

and apply seaglow after every wear if you had already seaglowed them
