Water and oxygen have long been known to hasten the yellowing process, that is why so many people wear beaters on rainy days or "rainy day shoes" and only pull out the "heat" on sunny days. Probably don't see to much people wearing shoes with translucent soles,etc. on rainy days like 11's or 6's.

Good reminder though.

one of my tips i tell people.. if you can prevent the ice from getting dirty with a protection layer.. it stops the oxidation process by a long shot.. but if you havent.. once every year even on a ds pair you should RB it to get it back icy.. my all white foams that are DS i have to  white them up because of that..
 
From what ive seen they say use a qtip and angulus leather paint to fill in/cover small scratches applying in a circular motion. There maybe a better solution i dont know
 
I know this might not be the right thread, but I recently purchased plastic shoe containers and I don't wanna throw my old boxes away. Is there any technique on folding them and storing them?

  If you fold them might as well throw them away, they'll be ruined. I just store my boxes in my shed.
 
does anybody have an 8.5 Jordan 4 I can buy I really need a midsole I can't find any cheap ones on eBay...

I don't know why or how this always happens, but...alcohol should do the trick, right?

those are 01s right? & if so what color paint did you use and how many coats did you put on it I might paint my swooshes on my 01s.
 
going to be a long shot but whatever, anybody have advice on "saucing/seaglowing" jordan 6s specifically. i restore other shoes with clear bottoms no prob but jordan 6s always suck for me. i've tried a lot of different methods (retr0brite, salon care, salon care x oxy clean) etc results have always been minimal. Or what do you guys think some of the bigger restorers use (fabes sole/restore my sneakers/god of soles) i'm sure its just 40% creme developer but they must add something because i've seen fabes sole post restored 6's god of soles too.

any help appreciated pm in needed
 
From what I see on a few videos they use acetone and qtips to make sure all dirt..etc is off before de yellowing the soles so the sauce actually penetrates them and doesnt just sit on surface.
