You need to 'charge' them in some form of light source. All GITD products contain phosphors. The Kobe and LeBron ASGs this year contain only zinc sulfide while the KD ASGs have strontium aluminate...
Nerd Alert!
How did you know about the chemical composition though? Does that explain why the KD4s glow brighter?
As for knowing the compositions, I just deduced the hues of the soles themselves. Strontium aluminate gives off green & aqua hues while products containing zinc sulfide are usually diluted with other substances to be more cost effective. That's why you can place all three in the sun for the exact amount of time and the KDs will out-glow and outlast the other two...
