Shell and sole turning yellow - dual - 28-04-09
I noticed that some supes are have shells and soles that turn from white to yellow. Is there any way to fix or prevent it? I can post pics if anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about.

You not gonna introduce yourself before you start asking questions ?
RE: Shell and sole turning yellow - dual - 28-04-09
Sorry I didn't think it was mandatory. I've posted a small introduction now. I read in the sticky that the yellowing effect was caused by sunlight so I guess my question has been partially answered. I guess the only solution to this is to not buy supes that have white shells or soles.

Sunlight can do it but then so can not wearing 'em.
Don't think there's anything you can do about it once it's happened.
You could try using Cif or something similar but it's a bit harsh to use on rubber you care about really.

They look better with age anyway..

Very rarely happens on new supes due to that chemical that i can't remember the name of being removed from the sole make-up years ago
If yours are going yellow they are either old, dirty, not worn enough or not looked after

there is something to cure yellowing for icy soles like the underworld ss35 has. if i remember it right it is called "island girl" or "island cure" or something like that. but i dont know what to do on white soles that turn yellow.

A member on here had that problem with a pair of Project Playgrounds that he kept in the box for a while.

I think they might be the ones I ended up with.
There is a product called Sea Glow, haven't used it myself but lots of Noike forums rave about it.
Tippex? Just kidding
