Toebox swap. You have to buy a new pair of black infrareds and unstitch the toebox from them. Then you have to remove the old one and replace it. It is a lot of work and probably not worth it tbh.

You could try putting wax on it, I've seen people do that. If the nubuck is cracking/deteriorating, there aren't many ways to fit it.

I just picked these up.. Vnds but the guy didn't keep them stored correctly so the sole yellowed.. B4 I Try I s just wondering how much icyer they could possibly get. I will be using 40 volume cream and sunlight BTW.

Depends on the number of treatments you do..most see a drastic change within 5..some shoes take more

I know. But let's say I do idk.. 100 sessions.. Will they be back to deadstock icy or will they always have a yellow tint.

It depends. Sometimes, if you do too many sessions, the sole gets hard and starts to turn white. Almost like it was bleached. That is called "traction loss". Salon 40 works pretty well if used correctly.

DS Copper foams were stored in ziplock bag. Didn't know until they arrived and i saw the ziplock bag.. Are they safe to wear or should i sell them because PU midsole could crumble?

No, they would be fine to wear. I might be wrong, but i don't even think foamposites have a 'midsole' lol. Nevertheless, they are 100% wearable

Hope so. I never heard of foams crumbling but since i saw PU midsole when reading the tech info, I immediately thought jordan 8 lol.
Thinking about it, they have to have a midsole above the zoom unit, otherwise you would be directly on top of the zoom unit like with the flightplate in the xx8s.

They might have a midsole, I'm really not too sure tbh. Ive seen people wearing og foamposites(late 90s) with no issues, so im sure you will be fine. I dont have any foams so im not an expert on them
