i'm going to answer as many of these questions as possible for everyone since i don't usually check nt that much anymore for this reason or thatreason, but here goes.
-jcool813- wow those vi's are ugly imo but if you want to know how to store, most people usually take out the paper and leave a silica gel pack for anyexcess moisture. store the box in a cool dark place. as far as preventing yellowing in the clear parts, it's going to happend no matter what. just keepsome sea glow handy and use it occasionally after you notice it's not as clear as before due to age or from constant wearing.
-nyrealhiphop- if you don't want to use bkf, you can use rit whitener. both bkf and rit can be found in target, wal-mart, etc. proper mixture for bkf is apaste, not too dry or too wet. if you don't trust yourself doing the bkf, i recommend the rit. i have both of these cleaners and they work great, just bkfgets the mesh a lot more whiter.
luis og13s and majornvmminor- both of you can use epoxy glue for your problems. the epoxy should work for the back tab on the vii's. as far as the brediv's, this is only a short term solution. the shoe will crack more as it gets older due to it being dried out. so watch out for future cracking.
-yungsmoke82- use a suede/nubuck spray cleaner to help bring back the area. if it doesn't work, then get some angelus shoe dye. as far as the stitching,can't really give you any advice other than maybe some epoxy glue to seal the area from further ripping.
-j671- who told you to use gorilla glue on the soles of xi's? this stuff is so hard after it dries up i couldn't even recommend it for this kind ofwork. from my own personal experience on fixing soles on xi's, shoe goo or epoxy glue is the way to go. is mighty mend that crap that billy mays peddled oninfomercials some time back? i think he ate this stuff and that's why he passed away! but if mighty mend if similar to an epoxy or shoe goo than icouldn't see why it wouldn't work. just try a small area first on the soles and see if holds up. if it does, then proceed with the rest of the shoe.
-chief ediri- i bet that the pods are just really yellowed. if this is the case, your only alternative to this dilemma is to repaint the pods with angeluspaint. nothing else seems to work for this problem. good luck to all of you and hope this helps.

Hey guys I had to move my post into here but, anyway here is a possible yellowing solution....
Now I know this is just for old plastic, but it may work on yellowing soles of Jordans. It is the same concept of oxidation. http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/. There are several youtube videos of how people make this stuff, just type inretr0bright and you can see people restoring old yellowed consoles.

just make sure you apply in the sun, and reapply every 30-45 min for 2-4 hours...and clean sole after your done.
ebay. home depot. ace harware. lowes...
the og box? dry and dark place. NOT in the sun, damp or in dirtOriginally Posted by Israeln23

what brand of suede/nubuck cleaner should I use? Should I also get a suede eraser/brush?
- Feb 29, 2008

in all honesty i have the foam and spray suede/nubuck cleaner and the eraser. with the areas that you clean will dictate which cleaner you need. iusually use the eraser for marks like ink and darker spots. don't use the eraser too much on the same area as it might damage the texture and tear it up.as far as the spray or foam, i use the spray for lighter colored suede/nubuck like the hare vii's and the foam for darker color suede/nubuck like your cdpxvii's. it's helpful to have all of these on hand so you try one and move on to the next one if it doesn't cut it for you.
