Space Jam XI '09 Yellowing

Thats A Pretty Decent Trade On Your Part... Dont Even Have To Deal With Yellowing On The Bred 11s An You Got The 8s As A Bonus...

You dudes need to stop crying rivers because your jams are getting yellowed.


It doesn't matter how less or how much you pay for a pair of shoes with clear gel bottoms, they WILL turn another color due to oxidation. It's simple physics.


UNLESS you find a way to trick the natural occurrence. For example, by blue dyeing your bottoms like I did.

Simple solution, difficult task if you aren't patient and careful.

i think people are "crying" because they paid $200 to see the sole turn yellow. the 2000 retro's are a different kind of rubber and do not yellow as quick. so yeah, im crying too. i have shoes that are over 10 years older than these and arent even that yellow yet. ok shoes are going to yellow but it would be nice if they would do so after a year............or 10.

I highly doubt your shoes didn't have a hint of yellowing after at least a month of wearing them. UNLESS you live in a region where the humidity and overall moisture aren't existent or very little. It doesn't matter which retro you own. They're going to yellow according to the environment you're in too. Like I said, simple physics.
If they were "cheap," then how come they don't come yellowed already after being in a warehouse for MONTHS?

I'll tell you why, because those warehouses are climate controlled. That's why every shoe stock room in every store is COLD. Most warehouses are COLD.
