hey im not sure if im the only one with this problem or not, but if you look in the pics below of my marinos, you can see that the toe box and the entire sole (not shown) is turning yellow.

ive worn them several times, but not in dirt or rain or anything

I just removed the paper from the box, but i dont know if that was the problem or not

if anybody has any remedies to this, please let me know

thanks
 
Haven't worn my pair yet & I removed the tissue paper from my box as soon as I got them (as I do all my white kicks) so i dunno. Hope it's not a common problem though.
 
The quality on these were iffy. The back tab of one of mine was partially ripped off the back; thinking of using glue to patch it up or bringing it to a shoe repairman.
 
I thought the quality on these were pretty good

im actually considering buying a ds pair if i cant get the soles white by using plus white
 
cool username
That username is awesome

I wore mine once, when I first got them and haven't seen them since.

Not shocked though, has anyone seen Diamond Turf I and 2's? They don't even have to be that old either.

Nike makes some of these white soles worse than clear ones

You try magic eraser?

Yea I've true it and it didn't work or maybe it did I but I can't notice the results

I did order some plus white so I'm hoping that it will have more of an impact.

I've also had this same yellowing problem with my playoff 12s 2012 release.
 
Yeah white soles on these seem to yellow quickly. Did plus white work? I'm thinking about buying.

On a positive note. I won't have to worry about yellowing on my raider speed turfs

It works, but its A VERY SLOW PROCESS. It's going to take a lot of application before it can look better.

But that maybe because I only apply 1 coat at a time
 
just checked mine and there is no yellowing, havnt worn them yet and they have been in the box with paper since RD
 
i just copped a new ds pair off ebay and it hasnt yellowed either

and the production dates dont match up on my new pair and my yellowed pair

im starting to think i may have gotten a bogus pair

could yall check yall pairs and post what yall production dates are?
