sneaker storage help

[crw127]

i have read numerous places that keeping the paper in the box speeds up/contributes to yellowing. i have also read that storing shoes in ziploc bags are bothgood and bad. the best way ive heard to store shoes in the box is by substituting the paper with garbage bags. what are your opinions? and if using the garbagebag method, is there ant specific type i shoudl use? right now i just store mine in the box no tissue, some with silica packs.

This

silica packs are also good and bad, while they do absorb the moisture which is a good thing to stop yellowing it also dries out and cracks the leather.

Wear them. Shoes are meant to be.

you can also have them chryogenically frozen like austin powers

cryogenically freezing them would screw them up pretty bad

Thats what I do

I usually fold up the tissue and put it in the sneaker with 1-2 silica packs

Shoes will crease and yellow in time. I just have my Space Jams in the box and under my bed. Might throw some silica packs on top of the tissue paper.

So, keeping the tissue paper in the box really contributes to the yellow of your Jordans? Really? I didn't know that.

I've been keeping my tissue paper in the box with a silica gel packet taped to the side of the box for years now, and all of my sneakers are still prettymuch all icy.

- This is how I store all my sneakers.

Oh yeh, I do rock my sneakers, this is just a double. One to rock, one to keep on ice.

I heard that the paper makes the soles turn yellow?

That might be true, though. Until it happens to me, I'm good with my method.

Sounds good.

 

[baby jumpman]

the paper is acidic, thus speeding up the process of yellowing.
