This is a wise man.

They still look good yellowed. The only way to keep them icy is to never wear them and keep seaglowing, but what pleasure is there is not wearing heat?

Before checking the thread i had looked at my pair and thought to myself i wonder if this is happening to any other of the 09 space jams and then i checked the thread to see i'm not the only one. Looks like I'm going to be unds the cool greys before they turn yellow anyway...

If dat makes sense the shoes are just laying on the paper...

This is what I do.  Don't know if it's right or wrong but the only shoe i have serious yellowing on is my fire red 5s. 

The CG's were made with that blue tint sole i think they will always look brighter then the SJ's.  The comparison pics make it look like serious yellowing but they were never the same color to start.

they look slightly yellow, but hey it's gonna happen. That's why I wear them.

i'm not hating on the yellowing of icy soles. it's gonna happen inevitably. what i'm hating on is the quality of JB these days.
after one year of it's release, wrapped in plastic, silica packs in the box, un-touched and un-worn, stored in a dark closet...

^^ That's exactly what happened to my pair after being deadstock for 5 months with 1 wear. That's when i decided to rit dye my joints now people stop and stare at my SJs. I've been hit with "those are HOT BUT.... I bet they're fake" a couple times from the haters, but i love the look on they're face when they realize they're REAL..LOL priceless
