Honest Opinion On Yellowing?

[hannn]

If the sole starts to look like cheddar, its time for a sea glow treatment.

I have yellowing (slight) on the cement 4s...goin to try some bar keepers friend...mint condition shoes unless u wrapping and displaying them in a museum is useless...especially for the prices we pay - #wearemproud

As we all know yellowing occurs on everything clear on Jordans, whats your honest opinion on this? Do you think it adds character? Is it ugly? I just wanna hear some opinions... 

it depends on the sneaker if the sole is icy and it turns yellow then i feel like the sneaker is straight trash. but if it was a pair of air jordan 1s that turned yellow then i wouldnt mind that vintage look

i love minor yellowing on XIs and love yellowed 1s 3s and 4s

 

[norcalhussla]

its not a good look...plain n simple...

 

[bobthemilkman]

my 11s are yellow. play football in them. the sqweek anyway

 

[captainjackson]

you can try your hardest to prevent them yellowing and all of those methods people claim works, but you can't. still gonna yellow no matter what.

I recently sprayed waterproofing stuff on my V's like I do with the rest of my J's.  Will that kind of moisture from the spray cause the netting to yellow earlier?  I didn't realise it until after the shoe dried.

it depends on the shoe. if its a pair of air jordna 1s then i wouldnt mind. but once a pair of foams get yellow i use them as beaters

Personally I don't like yellowing on any shoe, IMO it just makes it look dirty.  I know yellowing is inevitable, so that's why I take certain measures to slow it down.

 

[jordanhead718212]

I hate it

 

[de la sole]

Embrace it, man. The yellow, creases, overall wear and tear. Put away the cleaner, toe shields, etc. Enjoy them and then retire them. Re-cop. The next retro is always around the corner.

Its kinda like when dudes get gray hair lol

You dont want it at first but its inevitable.
After a while you get used to it.

I find myself wearing my beat Vs more just to separate myself from the current crowd.
Id rather people think ima average cat with good taste rather than a "sneakerhead"

I only do that wit vs tho.

But at the same time i always think icy royal foamz>>>>>>>>>>>>>>yellow royal foamz
All day.

It definitely adds character. I unds'd my 2011 Metallic 5's earlier this year and there's was a drizzle that day. Wore it three or four more times after that. The picture below is how they look now. I still will wear them, and I still like them.

[marco23]

Like yellowed soles. It just looks better to me

 

[ialwayshadswag]

really dislike yellowing makes me feel like my shoes are dirty but what can you do about it, its natural

 

[ao10]

I don't like the yellowing but I feel jordans look better with a clear bottom than the icy blue so ill deal with the yellowing

 

[AWOKEN CHARISMA]

Oxidized clear soles are Ugly as sin.
Blue clear soles are ok, depending what c\w is on the shoe.
