Dubizzle's AJ I - XX3

[dubizzle]

So about 6 months ago, the wife game me the ok to start collecting after I finished paying off my school loans. I decided I wanted one pair of every model from the signature series. Being based in the Middle East, its been tough (and somewhat expensive, but thank god for freight forwarding services!) to do, but 6 months later I've got my 23 pairs. Huge thank you to the many members of the NT fam who've sold to a newbie.

Good job, man...I like how every color you've obtained was one of the original colorways too.

Nice work man.

 

[Kev93]

Nice stuff man those stealth XX's are

 

[dubizzle]

Individual shots - only disappointment is that the XVIIs were advertised as DS and clearly aren't. If anyone has an OG XVII, would love to replace the horrible CDPs with the OG version.

Thanks for the kind comments guys, appreciate them.

Nice 1-23 collection man. What happened to the tongues of those 23s though? Just wondering.

Known issue with the patent leather on the tongues yellowing.

I had no idea. the only 23s I've owned were the "stealth" 23.

No problem. I think the all the models with the white patent leather tongues are susceptible to yellowing. You can slow down the process by storing them in the box after each use - although these have age now, so it's inevitable.

Anyone know of whitening techniques that don't compromise the integrity of the tongues?

If you're referring to the XXIII - I'd leave them as is. You risk damaging the laser print on the tongues with any 'whitening' methods.

Figured as much, thanks for confirming!

 

[putting in work]

Pretty good!

I remember it took me years and years to get all 23 models... I missed out on the 18's and 19's, but did get them in the countdown packs.

Not a problem bro!

 

[jordanscrub]

Awesome collection,

I don't even have a pair of banned 1s yet

 

[shoeheadjeezy]

nice job

 

[dubizzle]

Thanks SHJ!

Managed to cop a DS pair of OG XVII WReds to replace the CDPs above. Unfortunately, the entire collection is now packed waiting to be loaded on a boat to the UK ahead of my move there. Will update once I'm on the ground.

Any London NTers around?
