Heres my method on how to keep soles icey.
Ive had my bred 6s for about a year and 4 months now and they are still icey.
Copped them 2 months after initial release.
Materials: Sponge and heatable container of water
Directions:
1. Heat up the bowl of water..for like 4-5 minutes until its real hot
2. Scrub your icey sole...removing all dirt throughout the soles. Also scrubbing the soles so
the embedded dirt can escape.
3. Then finally once you feel you have done step 2 completely and correctly. Dry them off Thoroughly.
Drying them off is the most important step. Failure to do that completely makes them yellow even more.
If you follow these steps after every wear, your soles should stay icey for as long as you want them to.
It really only works when you just got them or they're still icey. If the soles are already super yellowed..method wont help much. After seaglow if wanted, start the method up.
I have provided pictures of my soles to show to that it actually works:

appreciate the info. how many times have u worn the bred 6s?
I say 15 atleast.
I quadruple ziplock my black / varsity red 6s, they'll b 2 yrs old in Jan. & looking pretty damn good probably helps I've only worn about 8 times & i clean extensively after every wear
make a vid
Not to be rude...but dude was nice enough to offer us his method, gave exact details on what to do, and u still ask for a vid..don't even say please or thanks...show some appreciation and common manners to the dude and ask nicely and the reason why you can't follow 3 easy steps in English. No hate or disrespect but try to be a little courteous to a fellow sneakerhead and guest on my site, thanks fam.
Do you know any places that still have Oreo 6s in nyc

Is there any way to clean foams cuz i got some hot sauce in my sole,please help
Is it stained in the sole? Maybe try mr clean magic eraser
Hey Def, I'm a huge fan of your work and I appreciate this post, but I was just wondering if this method would change the blue tint on the sole of my foamposites or any shoe with a tinted blue sole for that matter. thanks.
What do u mean exactly by change?
thanks for the response Def and by "change", I mean fade the blue tint to a lighter shade.
No I highly doubt it will change the shade of blue tint on the sole, I know rainy/ dirt water can change the color of the sole to a yellow slightly green color
Thanks again Def I really appreciate your input. Also do you recommend any other methods for keeping soles icy? Sorry if I'm bombarding you with questions, I just wanna play it safe when it comes to icy soles.
Ziplock bag and silica gel packs helps also
