these cool greys have blue bottoms which means they wont yellow as fast or as bad. i iced the soles of my space jams and anniversarys and WATER was used during the process. (OMG!!) both those soles show no yellowing anymore. they showed more yellowing while in the box laying DS than after the customization.

besides i have many pairs of these cg xi's, so if you THINK for any reason that my shoes are ruined after taking this pic then not only are you horribly mistaken but i got back ups anyway. so, either way......

What do you mean you iced em? I have cg, anniversary and dmp 11's. How can one ice em.

although i dont remember exactly where in that thread the actual instructions are to the process but i remember a kid doing a video and i just typed out a explanation to fellow NTer bigbizur which goes as follows:

"all the information is in that thread. i read that thread and did it.

i guess you don't wanna go thru the thread to look for it so all you need is blue rit dye. RIT is the brand name. you can find it at michaels or any craft store. i don't measure how much really but i put about maybe a tablespoon in hot water and stir it up. then you get a brand new paintbrush (which you also bought from the craft store) and you just start applying the blue all around the sole. it looks really weird and doesn't cover well so that's why you should do at least 2-3 coats depending on how blue you want them. too much is no good because you'd get a royal color rather then a ice color. i usually do the first coat and let it "dry" for about 15 min. then i run it under cold water with a clean rag to get the excess blue off. you'll see it come off. then examine your shoe from a distance and determine how many times you want to repeat this process. it is actually pretty hard and sometimes some sections come out lighter or darker than other parts but it isn't really too noticeable when you wear them. good idea about making a youtube video though. i should do that." "you can only !$#% it up if you rush. dont rush. the overall process takes about 2 hours. if you get any blue on the white midsole quickly sop it up with a q-tip. i didnt use any seaglow. only use seaglow if you make your soles royal-navy blue."

That's what I've been waiting for! It looks like I'll be scooping a size 10.5 in the very near future

Prices have come down big time. I am glad this happening to resellers. This person almost got them close to retail.

prices havent't come down. that guy just got screwed. it happens on ebay. bad timing perhaps. maybe the people battling it out all gave up and the winner caught a steal. it happens with auction sites. price will not be coming down on these. history repeats itself.

you must be a reseller huh

I got mine today, no need for pics but I love them. I got a half size bigger than the space jams and they were comfortable, space jams and cdp were both too small. But these fit great, can't wait til spring to unDS them

They are coming down man no need to be in denial. In another two weeks or so people will be at the break even point once the Cement III and AllStar XIII release. There is very little money to make reselling Jordans outside of that first week of the release if its not super limited or you got a good #%! discount. The game is not what it used to be. Paying retail and hoping you catch a sucker FTL.

Why not?  I got mine on Christmas eve and wore them that night...We got 6 inches of snow that night, still no sign of yellowing. 
What is a little snow gonna do?  Clean them and move on. I buy my shoes to be worn, not looked at, and I'm not gonna wait till summer to wear them either.

I guess he don't want to answer why his employer sent my boy his cool grey's in a box found laying around the warehouse.

 

[smzsmz]

i got 2 pairs from CT the other day i think it was xmas eve. but now im waiting for my other order. i use the tracking numbers and it shows no record. i even used the tracking numbers of the pairs already delivered and it shows no record of those either. im hoping ill get them within the next few days because you cant even drive down my street because of the snow right now.... anybody do multi orders and only received half???

 

[releventmuzik]

if homie wants a box for these I am sure someone would sell him for cheap. just start a wtb thread.

 

[friscojordan415]

That is unprofessional on eastbay's part. I have never seen anything like that.

I would say if you could find them else where I would be sending them back for a full refund

 

[luvtheshoe]

I had eastbay do that to me with a pair of JB brand. They just took a beat to hell box, ripped off the label and threw the shoes in with no paper or anything. Shoes looked worn also.

 

[mikkoxb]

wow thats unacceptable on eastbays part...they would lose my business if this becomes a common issue

but anyway i tried on my XIs and the ankle area creases pretty easily...
and i thought toe box creases were the only issue when tryin to keep kicks lookin new haha

He's on vacation through the new year. He stated this in either the Lebron or Kobe thread. Forgot which one...
