Pear Foamposite Pro turning blue?

[zsmagh10]

Hey guys just looking for some help and all is appreciated. About 3 weeks ago I pulled my Pearls out and noticed that part of the sole and areas around it were starting to turn blue and I have no idea why. I just store them in a plastic bin. Any ideas as to how this happened and/or how to stop it?

does the bin you store them in have a blue hue to it ?

 

[zsmagh10]

The lid is blue but the plastic has a small tint to it

 

[dankenstien88]

all I can assume is the lid is bleeding onto the shoe

unless the black lining is bleeding from the inside out.. ? ... I dunno ? o0

Id rather the soles turn yellow that part of the sole and shoe start turning blue though

Yeah try and get clear plastic containers with white tops. I think the container is def affecting your shoes.

if anything store them in their original box or a shoe net(like the ones provided by the XIX SE or XXs). You gotta let the shoe breathe to protect them from getting yellowed or in rare cases like yours.

That's beat...wear them now

Why not just start wearing to avoid the blue sole. Im sure it will go away...

Ive been wearing them, I dont let them just sit in the box, but appreciate all the help guys. Already got them out of the blue tub and going to get a new one

Why are they in a bin instead of the box?

I picked em up from a consignment store that didn't take the box with the shoes

I actually saw a sz 13 pair os pearls before with the same exact blue color on them.
I would think it's part of the chemicals used and some separation happened.
Visually not nice but functionally ok.

Ah ok. Best bet, get a complely clear bin and put it in a cool dark corner to slow the yellowing process.

Luckily its just that one spot

just use another nike box. these shoes need to breathe people.. thats why they crumble when you try to wear em years later

I read this topic and thought he was calling the gym greens pears. Never can tell anymore.

I have no clue why it changes. I have 3 pairs all kept the same way and only one has the blue on it. They are all stored in plastic sneaker boxes

 

[nikerider]

As I mentioned earlier, I have seen this blue on the Pearl foams.
Probably a manufacturing error. There are all kinds of chemical stabliziers, dyes and other chemicals added to the soles.
Maybe a reaction to the glue?

I actually bought a DS pair last week and it had the same bluish stain on the same exact spot! The shoe was stored inside the original shoe box so i have no idea where it came from.

I'm about to take the sole off and dye the whole shoe
