...I asked the associate if this was a new colorway, he said "no, its the GR navy c/w". He stated it was the display model naturally changing color due to exposure to light. I looked at the inside tongue tag and sure enough it was the GR NV4 colorway.
Have any of you guys seen this happen with NBs through the years? I know white will naturally yellow, but I've never seen a navy suede fade into grey. I almost want to do this same effect to some pairs just by leaving kicks out of the box. I found these to look kinda sweet!
Working in shoe stores throughout high school and college I noticed all suede ages and fades with UV exposure. Navy and black turn to a dark grey-ish color, orange fades to light orange or dark yellow depending on how long it sits, reds to light reds or pinks, etc.
