You can try using liquid RIT whitener. That stuff is designed for fabrics. I know its pretty popular for whitening yellowed mesh for the Concords. Whitens and optically brightens but not harsh like bleach to damage material. Never tried it though for a Jordan 1 Tongue

geraldg2309 do you know if you that leather cleaner leaves a glossy finish?

couple of tips for whitening yellow midsoles
 plus white teeth whitening gel : clean midsoles, completely dry, apply whitening gel, let set over night , then clean off...condition of soles might require multiple sessions. it can turn in to a week long process but results are good. 

another method, retrobrite

-1/2 cup of peroxide (can be the regular peroxide you buy at any store which is 3% or you can buy a 12% at a beauty store)
-tablespoon of corn starch
- a table spoon of oxiclean
Mix the 1/2 cup of peroxide and corn starch together, it will make a milky liquid then you have to microwave it for 30-45 seconds, it will then become a gel like substance

you then mix in the spoonful of oxyclean and it will foam up.... mix it until it stops foaming and it will be ready to go...

with the salon peroxide you dont need to add cornstarch or heat it up, if you just put it in the solution and stir it up it works fine as well without foaming up and being a pain. btw oxyclean in water makes peroxide so all you are doing is increasing the % of peroxide by adding it. hope this makes it easier for everyone

on the hunt 

seems like shadows have become the priority for a lot of ppl though

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

I'd rock those 

 

[airthompson]

coldcity no still the CDP tongue. When I do tongue swaps I like to use high Dunks or Forces with parachute tongues for donor to get the OG look, and they're more comfortable. Check your nearby thrift stores, cuz rebrightening is not an option when they're piss yellow.

True. Kid you not, I saw at least 10 wanted Shadow post this morning, and that's just LA.

Let's keep these other OG colors lowkey, before kids come in claiming these are their new found grails.

is that a custom or something? those look really new. That had to be the worst pack lol. No way was I copping any 22 and these with jumpmans for 310 was a no go. Even when it got down near 200 that's too much for any 1. especially with jumpmans.

i bought my pack for $180 & sold the 22's for $100

quality on the cdp's were not nearly as bad as people who never had or held them wanted the masses to believe

 

[tank214]

That icy sole is killing that mid for me. You think they slapped that on there to make sure they sold well? An icy sole just looks off on a 1

80 is decent for the 1s I might of thought about it if I was into selling shoes back then. I'm still not a fan of it but there is a rare case I might try to sell something.
