I just say this because my Wool's yellowed after one wear in one spot. They look DS aside from that spot.

I may not contribute all the time but I love the pettiness!

Just for lurkers looking for deals, last one that I remember was royals on sweatshop. That's one in several months, pretty bad return no?
Now if they want 2.0 hating and JPAC vs the world free for alls, this is def the place!

Makes it much much worse. Magic eraser basically shreds the boost and eventually the area that's been scrubbed w/ magic eraser yellows way faster, I've seen pics where it made the boost an almost reddish/brown color.
The main issue is the absorptive nature of boost, magic eraser makes the boost absorb even more dirt.

According to BASF who developed Boost with Adidas (or Infinergy as they call it) is esssentially a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) material (http://www.polyurethanes.basf.com/p...mationen/Infinergy_BASF_develops_expanded_TPU)
It's likely that the yellowing is caused by UV exposure and oxidation

It's definitely not just from UV exposure.

my creams had boost yellowing in an abnormal spot after a wear or 2. Wasn't dirt or anything. Almost like I spilled sauce on it and let it stain... but I didn't.

ya I know doesn't show up well in pics but does in sunny natural light. I just don't think theres a definitive answer because its only one spot like the boost didn't get coated entirely during production. Otherwise they look DS.

When we're talking about yellowing, you all mean the boost on bottom of the shoe exposed by the outsole right?

All I know is that I only use baby wipes on my boost to get the dirt off. It doesn't make the yellowing worse but it doesn't remove it, just the superficial dirt.

Those shoes posted above have never seen grass or dirt, and I certainly never let any soak in to advance the onset of the yellowing.
