I would suggest that YOU DO NOT place the silica IN the ziplock bag. Silica packs absorb moisture which will help the Yellowing problem, but, your kixwill turn into powder instead.Originally Posted by trevor25
i have a pair of DS DMP XI. I have them stored in the box in a closet away from sunlight. i heard to prevent them from yellowing i should put them in a zip lock bag and try to remove as much air as possible. is this true?

Not unless you're going to put them on a shelf for the rest of the time imo.Originally Posted by spoonmanofthehour

so is it even worth using seaglow in the overall picture? i have some spacejams that are in great condition. the only problem is the soles did turn a bit yellow.
