Good stuff guys , So should i expect yellowing around the pods regardless of which way i store them with paper? or without ? I usually store my kicks away for a year or year and a half tops. since the legend blue soles are Tinted blue do you see them yellowing while in storage ?

Also for the oxidation vs acidity of paper debate
When paper is infused water it tends to yeild a slightly acid moisture. Sulfuric acid due to the pulp of a tree being acidic in nature.
That sulfuric acid will in fact give up its hydrogen group willingly cause it's a strong acid.
So for a shoe to yellow it needs a oxidation which is caused by moisture H2O, but in the presence of a acid it is inhibited because the hydrogen group will in fact bond to the oxygen group tying to oxidize your shoe
H2+O=H2O
in other words that O group stays away from ur shoe and stays water
So that mean overall they would simply produce more moisture or cycle current moisture untill the acid in the paper runs out but sadly it is so small that can not inhibit the redox reaction. And oxidation takes place anyways
Now this is true if you store your shoes in normal enviornent meaning that it will take time for all these thjngs to play out
Also, the acid in the paper is so small that any inhibiting of a actual redox reaction will prob not occur.....
Just stated to to prove that @The7onius is right it's a myth and not a good one at that paper would actually help....
Long story short. Paper and acid have no effect on yellowing but oxidation does.
Oxidation is not related to paper so that means paper had no effect
Reducing moisture is ur best answer. Like sole saver and sealing shoes up reduces the amount of moisture and oxygen getting into your shoes and yellowing them.
And note paper can hold moisture so if u are nervous about that then remove it. But chemically it doesn not cause yellowing it's all about oxidation

My only caveat with sealing is the crumbling after years of no use in that bag.
Is there a correlation?

You should be a chemist man, that was amazing how you explained that!

Yeah i was talking about the LB. Legend Blues. light can do that and i know other people were having issues with different color soles.

The crumbling is prob due to the materials use to make a shoe porous so without air they simply dry out.
Moisture and air is our friend and enemy. I seen vids of dudes who seal their shoes and let them breathe or make some kind of elaborate set up to seal shoes and not let to much moisture in.
For me to much work let'em yellow it adds character.

Thanks man appreciate how you explained that. its in my basement so there will be little to no moisture down here just a matter of how much i actually take them out the box

Yeah. I just throw them in my closet and come and go.
Good info. Wish I had the focus to be an engineer. Respect what you do.

You didn't Pay attention in Class..... did you?
You thanked him for Explaining it but still didn't understand??
it's about moisture not paper

Metallography and minor in chemistry.
We mostly test plasma sprays and treat and maintain over 50 chemical baths for a 24-7 plating and repair operation.

Interesting. Figured it had to be in a chemical field of some sort. Working on mechanical so my chemistry knowledge is minimal

I would def be swimming all up in dat. Any1 who says they wouldnt just cause of hair is lying. Anyone whos had sex b4 knows once it goes down, hair is definitely not being thought of lol

Visually seeing her take a shower, I'd wager that I'd be eating the butt.
