How did you store them? I can already see a little yellowing on my lows from last summer. I wear them often also.

nothing special but i put the paper folded up and on the bottom of the box and keep the house doors and windows closed so the humidity isnt insane and keep them in a closet at room temp

I will say this fakes or not that bottom looks better than the 01 retro. But does not resemble the og. They're inching closer. Maybe they'll get it right in 2019

you think it looks better? i was just about to say thes does look very good. the 01 and 96s were clearer. this is a milky blue. that jumpman doesnt even match the blue on the toe. i hope these are bad early pairs.

Hmm... I put all the paper in a ziploc when I got them, so there's nothing in the box. They're stored in my linen closet in the bathroom. Windows are never opened... So, who knows.

yeah it might be luck of the draw but i have had multiple pairs and none of them had that khaki problem that i see so something might be done to speed it up but i dont know, if i did i would sell the method to yall

lol i truly believe the PL oxidation is from storage because my 01 columbias had minimal to no yellow in them and i wore them many times as well.

This. I've had mine since '03 and all I did was put it in a dark closet in the back in a big plastic bin. It's not rocket science. I think it also depends on where you live.
 
When I was purchasing my 2nd pair few years back looking on ebay. I noticed how yellow some PL's got, especially from a seller in Texas and Florida. I'm from the Bay Area in CA and at that time my pair had no yellowing. Climate/storage differences
 
well knowledge is power homie...taobao is not the only place taobao and everybody else gets them from the factories that nike pays little to nothing to produce...the factories gets sent the material from nike for double the amountof shoes thats actually needed and they make more and sells them to resllers...and by the way i was told this from 2 different nike reps that reps my local champs and footlocker

Many factors go into this from wear, plastic coating storage, light. As stated, my 2001 pair had minimal yellowing as well.

i live in tampa,fl and our humidity is off the charts but if your house has AC and you can keep them in their box and at room temp it should be fine, i think some people store them next to their air handler unit or something i dunno but its not rocket surgery thats for sure.
 
Columbia 11 is my next pickup and once I add these I'm done unless OG pickup I need or something blow me away. Thank you JB. Hope it done right

On another note I think all these pics we seeing are hq fakes from the sweat shop.
I'll wait

I'm with you a 100% its still hella early to see the final product.I just realized looking back you can't even see the outsole jumpman on these new pairs.
 
These things have been in production since early May. The Gamma's had a 6 month production run last year as well.

So the chances of seeing the final product is increasing by the day.
