From what I heard from someone who I consider to be an expert, keeping shoes in their boxes is fine, w/o the paper.

Nike boxes are NOT acid free/ph balanced.
What about PE collectors? I see your point but thete is a genuine need for sneaker preservation.

^^ Yea, good point. I just like wearing my shoes. Id rather wear them and have them fall apart after years of use. Not crumble after years of just looking at them.

That's fine, to each their own. This thread clearly wasn't intended for a person like yourself.

there was a post with some cleannnn looking plastic shoe boxes if you wanna go all out for collecting.. they seem to hold up well for preserving and keeping shoes fresh and slowing down the yellowing process..
i say go with those bags you posted and ONE silica pack per box outside of the bag.
i also recommend the product damp rid or a closet dehumidifier.
i have this product in a dark closet i always keep closed..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/...d_r=1WSPYA4M7ET4EBE9TX2C
costs about 4 bucks at wal mart..
but the shoes do need to breathe so break em out every once and a while and wear them around on your carpet or something haha

I have pairs I dont plan on wearing either............U MAD BRO???
The stuff I really like (VI, III, XI etc) I buy 2 pairs. One to rock and one to stock for years down the road when I wear the hell outta the first pair........GET IT?!?!?!?!?
So yes some us buy shoes that we put in our closets never to be worn or to be brought out for the most special occasions............not to mention that some ppl get their kicks autographed.
I guess what Im trying to say is, everyone has their own prerogative and some of us look at sneakers as a hobby or something to collect..........some of us think theyre just shoes and yellowing "adds character"

Nope, the bags that came with the 6's were not meant to prevent yellowing. It was just an added detail to make the package even better.
