What's good Def? Man I put ALL my shoes in Ziplock bags complimented with the Silica packs and it seems that some of them shits still seem to yellow,or atleast get a slight tint. Whats good with that? Are some kicks more prone to yellowing than others? Cuz I have the same models of some shoes and some of them bitches is crystal clear and some are yellowing.

Def i'm kinda new to the sneaker game i only been collecting for about a year or so now and i was always wondering what is the purpose of using the Ziplock bags and Silica Gel Packs?

@Greedie, have you walked in puddles or water with ur ice soles, that can really mess em up...also it depends on the climate of the room they are in, also ive had my space jams at the very top of my stacks to the ceilings and farthest away from my radiator because my radiator is near the floor in my home.

@Syerso, it helps preserve the ice soles to keep them from yellowing faster, it wont completely stop it but it will slow down the process as much as possible.

@Anon, the boxes you want are you trying to put a few shoes in them are just 1 shoe, because that box is pretty big and i believe is frosted so you wouldnt be able to see directly through the box if thats what ur trying to achieve, if u can show me the youtube vid where u replied trying to find out about it, maybe i can help u out a little better.

@Anon, I'd like to believe those are the 6 quarts boxes...id order one or see if maybe u can go to a walmart or a kmart and bring a pair with you to test it out...i believe the boxes he has only work for low cuts though

do you open the silica packs so that there are beads in the the zip lock? or do you have the shoes sitting on top of the packs?
