although that might help to slow down the oxidation...that'll cause a much bigger problem by drying up the materials.
cool, dark storage and cleaning them after use is the best and also the most practical way to keep 'em clear as long as possible.
doesn't seaglow makes the soles slippery? (from what i've heard....)

I've seaglowed several shoes and I have not had a problem with the soles. I just make sure that I clean off the seaglow when they are done. I am,however,hesitant on seaglowing my Foams.

I'm scared of the soles coming off, lol.I guess I just need to put some type of tape on the Carbon-Fiber. I'm eager to seaglow my 06' Foam One's.

if you're using direct sunlight to do it then yea you'll need to worry.....but if you've got an indoor system set up, you shouldn't worry at all.

Unfortunately, I have to resort to direct sunlight with my kicks. I may have to invest in a indoor setup.

you can wipe the soles down with seaglow after each use and there's a sealant that helps prevent the oxidation too.

Fact is they will crumble and detoriate regardless of the storage method. Ozone is the culprit and where's it found? - correct, in the air.
So sealing them airtight with silica gel bags will be your best method of storage. Also, avoid sunlight and excessive heat and you'll be golden.
I hope no one listens to this. The main problem that happens over time is the glue for the carbon fiber. Drying them which this will do, reduces the glues adhesiveness. What you're doing is speeding up the aging process.
