Can you whiten the netting?

Definitely embrace it imo. I love them like this.

I'm going to just leave it as it happens to mine, too, but dang, those 2020s already that yellow when the rest of the shoes barely look worn. How did you store those, were they sitting constantly in sunlight?

stan23 i say embrace bredgren

 

[headdetective]

Man had em sittin on his porch for them to yellow this quick

 

[checks mcgee]

embrace

 

[MJO23DAN]

Embrace it. I feel as though the chemical may weaken the netting causing it to brittle or crack over time.

 

[stan23]

If you look at used pairs on GOAT, most pairs have yellowed netting as well. I have a another pair on ice and those look fine, but I'll expect then to yellow with wear.

Netting should not be that yellowed already. Mines are nowhere near that. OPs pair is yellowed like a 2000 pair. My 2013 pair isn’t even that yellow if at all.

It's normal if you wear them.

Look at all the used 2020 pairs on GOAT.

 

[stan23]

Also for reference, my 2000 pair is way worse.

If you wear them outside they’ll yellow. It’s the UV that does it.

 

[jaynev]

Fine that way. Wouldn’t mind a used pair for cheap with it. And damn those got cheap

Whiten them up. Treat your netting as you would treat your teeth

 

[gokublack]

Salon care doesn’t work on netting

I've got a pair only worn inside a dozen times and put back in my dark closet, and they've definitely begun to yellow, regardless. Not much yet, mind you, but it's obvious they aren't the original clear anymore. It's just unavoidable with this IV and V mesh JB uses nowadays.

 

[dhtowng]

This is crazy. They shouldn’t be yellowing that fast. Let me pull my pairs out and check .

I expected it. Not the pee yellow already, but the quick beginnings of yellowing. I wore my 2016 WC 4s 30 times in two years, which is nothing, and the mesh turned noticeably yellow. I decided to just not care anymore. Not like there’s a choice
That said, I like it far less on 4s than I do on 5s.
