Space Jam XI '09 Yellowing

Same thing happened to mine. I really couldn't stand looking at my 09 Space Jams. Shape was just horrible and the quality was even worst. Glad I sold them.

Mine are like this, probably worse! Either way, it's inevitable with these clear soles. Not so much with the Anniversary XI or certain VI's, but shoes like the Space Jams that have that pure clear sole is bound to happen.

Happened too mine before I even wore them and extremely sooner then I thought...Bought em on RD and by March i started seeing small parts of yellowing...Wore em about 5 times total and starting to yellow more on the bottom part of the shoe, not really the side part of the sole...Oh well what can you do , shoes are shoes I'm just a sucker for clear soles

Where are you guys storing your shoes? I've had mine in the closet for a year and there is no yellowing on my soles. Unless there is, and I am not looking as close as you guys. I also have a pair of NDS concords from 2000 and there had been NO yellowing. I put them in a plastic bin in my closet, nothing magical about how I store them and the integrity of the shoe is fine.Besides, it's the sole of the shoe! Fellas, it's not that serious. I can't believe how people are going crazy over a part of a shoe that no one sees and gets dirty anyway. Also, does anyone notice that these soles are super clear in comparison to the soles from 00-01? It seems like those soles weren't as bright and naturally the newer soles wiil look worse when they yellow because it is super icy. I don't know. maybe it's me.

You guys know why they start yellowing from the edge of the BLUE PAINT? Its oxidation or...color fading!?

i think its just oxidation,  id trying waiting a while before you seaglow them again because it could make yellowing worse

trust me bro, I do too, but I bought 2 pairs of XI's one to rock and the other to rock way later but it looks like I might have to rock them sooner than i thought because that's what I do...haha. 

I wouldn't mind trading them for a pair of CG XIs
