Another yellowing thread (Jordan 23 All-Star)

[philaflava1]

Am I the only one with the yellow tongue? It's ONLY on the 23 thumbprint tongue part. Everything else is perfectly white. I'll post an image if you want but I just wanted to find what the hell is causing this to only happen on one specific area of the sneaker.

I think it's the black paint fades there.

that is probably a fading color thing....maybe that part of the shoe is in contact with fabric more than the other parts? Pants, etc.

Not sure if it happened to all though

Nah, you're not the only one. Mine are like that and I've never worn them. Even worse though is that on pairs that HAVE been worn (Moderate-heavy usage as I've noticed), the top of the toe box where the shoe is perferated yellows as well.

I had to sell mine for dirty cheap even though they were DS because of the yellowing tongue. I think it was something with the patent leather and the gold paint from behind bleeding through. It is a very known problem with this particular model of XX3. No other ones had this problem since none of them had a patent tongue.

I was real heated....

Not true, the white/stealth/black 23s have the same tongue, no yellowing

Yeah it must be the material used because the All Stars are made out of a shiny almost glittery material and the white/blk/stealth XX3 looks more like regular patent leather.  My only complaint about the XX3 is the tongues and toe box should have been just regular leather on all models.  I sold my All Stars as well.

Ever occur to you that not everybody is as active. I don't recall threads from last week, let alone last year and surely not everybody was even around here last year. But you're sour, so it's cool.
