Fake Website Tip, Sneakers Ziplocks & Silica Packs

[ExtraPimpSlap18]

what i do is put ziploc bag but keep a little slot open for the shoe to get some air, but honestly, your advice is good bro

[MrMetaphorick]

Ziplocks dont help shit! The shoes are gonna yellow no matter what so deal with it! They dont look bad yellowed....

[srhs74]

I SERIOUSLY NEED HELP. SO HOW WOULD U KEEP ICEY SOLES... ICEY LIKE ON 5s, 6s 11s ect.. SO HOW SHOULD JAYS BE STORED? I DONT WANT MY SHUT YELLOWING. LET ME KNOW

[414edhardy]

Thanks for the great info

[kaveman525]

wat do u thinka bout puttin all suede shoes like the wolf grey 5s in zipocks

[jordan404]

good info

[blzegod950]

hey wut do u think bout putin the sneakers in open top plastic bags cuz the leather can still breathe while dust doesnt really catch onto the icey soles or the shoe itself at all??? i want ur opinion!!!!

[cheng269]

hey yall is top brand club a real website

[NFORCR389]

If I zip lock my air forces after wearing them everyday, what will happen to them

[jstar25]

@NFORCR389 Defeats the purpose if you wear them everyday. Nothing will happen to them, you'd just be wasting a couple minutes a day. People ziplock when they want to keep the shoes fresh for years without wearing them, that's a no no as mentioned in the video. -Peace

[WuKicks23]

@derrickstrange2009 yes

[123PEULH]

This guy is the Master Yoda of the Air Jordan Fake and real Battle!!! Be blessed master! May Jordan Force be with you.

[UPTOWNMOVEMENT]

@BurntLaces Never worn.

[ipodtouchbuddy1]

good vid man keep it up!

[kingdmv94]

lol @illskilled1 your stupid why would you ask that? smh

[sarababe2010]

Thanks for the tips, i was putting my kicks in zip lock bags

[jer5454]

Say homie, what's your advice on how to keep the space jams bottoms from yellowing? Its too clean of a shoe for me not to wear but I don't want to ruin them and have a pissy yellow bottom.

[clebud420]

yeah man my cousin had some og 2's and had them in a ziplock bag for like 5 yrs without taking them out,he wore them once and they just started falling apart once it hit the fresh air

[StupidBoi015]

Umm im just wondering if its ok to ziplock my Cool Grey 11's. Its not made of leather.

[jstar25]

@StupidBoi015 Patent leather is leather... Not to mention the upper is also leather... Not to mention drying out the glue that holds the shoes together is not a good idea. So I'll say no. Cop them to rock them. -Peace

[illskilled1]

how bout putting them in ziplocks without sealing them, wouldnt the shoes still be able to breathe?

[jstar25]

@illskilled1 Seems odd to me. Let's cut out the door on your fridge and hope the food stays fresh... LOL. Had to say that... To funny of a thought not to.

Seriously though, you could do that and leave them in the box away from direct sunlight and you should be good. Ziplocks to me are not worth it unless you pull them out for a few hours every couple weeks or so. -Peace

[illskilled1]

@jstar25 lol thanks, also thanks for your quick responses, your one of the few if not the only one that gets back to people with questions in a very timely manner when they need/want answers.

[mailmanstancan]

@ jaystar25 what do you think of Jordan flight 9s

[Ballin24JAlvaran]

is this a real web site ?

retrojordankicks

[jstar25]

@Ballin24JAlvaran FAKE

[Ballin24JAlvaran]

@jstar25

ight thanks alot

what about coolshoeshine?

[jstar25]

@Ballin24JAlvaran I have a website called SneakerShoeBox google it and check it out, you can find legit sites there. -Peace

[HolaBabyMilo]

could i put my foamposites in ziplocks since they arent leather?



[SCSNEAKz13]

Is Sneakerhotline a legit site?

[jw7361]

thanks for the tip,i have friends doin the bag stuff,i never do that.

[bubblez311989]

hey where u get all this information from??? lol juz askn nd i thought that tha cool greys comn out in december???

[jstar25]

@bubblez311989 Did this video 6 months ago, actual release dates were NOT confirmed back then. Cool Grey are December, Flint 13 are November. -Peace

[EZL80]

Thank's for the tip about the AJ 23 premier's to show if a site is fake. It was helpful because i saw a site that had some real looking AJ 1's for 45$ i was thinking it's fake then i checked your channel saw this vid and knew the site was fake.

[kennyzk]

i got some 11's and i wanted to know how can i keep my soles as icy as possible? i know it impossible to keep the perfectly icy weather i wear them or not, but how clean can i keep them... and is it true the cool greys are reseling in november again?

[jstar25]

@kennyzk Yes Cool Grey's in November. As for your shoes, just keep them in the box in the closet when you are not wearing them. Clear Soles will yellow it's the nature of the beast. If you want them more clear later get some Sea Glo and use that on them but do your homework on that product before you use it. -Peace

[xMikeyMike24]

Can someone help me?

I just got CDP retro 3s and i don't want the soles to crack, so i keep my 3's in a thin plastic bag (The bags you put fruit in at the grocery store). I also put two small silica packs inside the box. Is this method good for keeping my kicks from cracking?

[jstar25]

@xMikeyMike24 Just not wearing them is enough. They crack when pressure (weight of your body walking) gets to them. They ain't going to be just sitting there DS and decide to crack unless you leave them in direct sunlight and high heat. I can't stress this enough LEATHER NEEDS TO BREATH why would you dry out leather? That will for sure increase the chances of them cracking and crumbling.

Take a picture of them for memory sake and rock them while you can. -Peace

[dipsetbichcj]

nice tips homie like what u saying in this video. check out my channel

[vRSPSCG]

Yo man thanx for all the videos you post they are really helpful. I've been collectin for a few years now and im still learning some new stuff from your videos. BTW thats a fresh shirt u got in that video. I had that same shirt back when the fire red III's released but i lost a lot of weight since then so it fits me waay to big now :( lol

[LAACAPULCO]

WORD....

[tdwade3333]

hey j, i jus got ziploc and silica tday for my 09 jams, but then i saw ur vid. Wud u put ur jams in a ziploc with silica? if not then wud jus silica in the box, near the soles work? i wud really appreciate a reply. thanks.

[tdwade3333]

hey j, i jus got ziploc bags and silica to use for my 09 jams, but then i saw ur vid. would u put ur jams in a ziploc with silica? if not then wud jus puttin silica in the box, near the soles work? i wud really appreciate the reply. thanks.

[Lemke68]

i know that you are supposed to keep sneakers in the box in a cool place, but would a closet work? how do you store your sneakers?

[permita23]

what do you think about buying J's that are used on ebay? i just started my collection and sometimes, they can get pricey. so far i've picked up 3 that the sellers have used only once (3 flips, 14 final shots & 7 citrus). all three are legit. by the way, thanks on the vids...really helped me out on a couple of bad investments...keep it up...peace!

[jstar25]

Gotta do your homework before shopping on eBay but I don't see anything wrong with copping NDS or VNDS sneakers. -Peace

[namebeBuddha]

wat do you think bout puttin shoes in siram wrap? cuz i do that with some of my icey bottom shoes

[jstar25]

Never done that, I've seen sneaker spots do that with the J that is on display in the past but really I'm not the kind of person that gets all uptight if my clear soles yellow, I knew they would yellow before I bought them so if I want them icey again I'll sea glo them.

I guess if it works for you go head, just stay away from drying out your shoes for long periods of time. -Peace

[MJJforever100]

can you make a vid of all your shoes

[westmoor83]

Thanks J! Again, as always very informative. Peace

[REALNOTFAKE23]

i stay keepin my 5's and 6's in the ziplocks.. no yellowing of the sole

[SERG1320]

Man i order from Kixclusive like a week ago & my order has still not shiped...i reseached & a lot of ppl say that they take up to months to ship out...they dont reply to any email...I dont knw what to do

[GunGemini]

my friend told me to add a de-humidifier to my closet..

Is that a good idea?

[jstar25]

I wouldn't do it, but I live in Chicago so it's not like it's mad humid here like it would be if I lived in Miami or something. Guess it depends how the environment is kept... if you set in you house and bust out sweating for no reason... then yeah go for it... LOL. I'm sure you know what I'm saying. -Peace

[EmperorJBO]

Damn it man,yeah I just bought those 2 1/2 gallon zip lock bags. I guess I better take them out of the bags. Would it be a bad idea to use bubble wrap on on the bottom of the shoe box(I guess u place your shoes on top of them)?

[dimedropper1992]

Fuck i tried on the google translater for tihs vid and when you said

"shoes are for sale"

it translated

"Jews are for sale"

tahts fucked

[jjjumpman23]

dopee!!!!!!!!!! 5 stars

[Doeboiifreshhh]

yeah i just bag mine up for a week then air them out and repeat

[no40]

If China or any other country did not have to deal with poverty and the restraint from its governmental hierarchy, fake items such as sneakers wouldn't be so rampant. Then again, there are people who would do this just to further their financial gain.

[NJWTruth201]

you should make a video showing your sneaker collection

[sdonovan74]

Don't y'all know that the people that work in China manufacturing these Air Jordans steal the molds the manufacture these shoes ? In reality, the so-called fakes are made from the same molds that manufacture the "REAL" Air Jordans. The only differences are in the unreleased colorways, and aesthetic quality as far as stitching and details.

People in China are underpaid manufacturing these shoes and they need a second hustle.

[jstar25]

It's more than just visual differences. -Peace

[TheNabizzy]

I have that shirt lol

[jwr1776]

Good info Homie!...Keep Schoolin' these Cats!!...YUP!

[illskilled1]

what about silica packs in general? i dont ziplock mine either but i keep one or 2 small silca pakcs inside the box, will that damage them as well?

[jstar25]

Yeah that's cool for general storing like your shoes in a the box in your closet but don't over do the packs. -Peace

[johnnybannas1990]

whats up jstar as you've seen i'm a big fan of your web site with all the post i've been doing.But theres only 1 problem i have with the site is that you don't up date the blog on a regular

[jstar25]

You are right, just a busy time for me but I need to write up a little something on my thoughts for the KO's. I'll try to get back on it just all over the place lately. Thanks though for speaking up, I need that from time to time. Matter of fact we need to hit up some Sneaker Spots in Chicago now that the weather is breaking. I'll message you on that in a few. -Peace

[johnnybannas1990]

thats what i've been thinking of because there are a few cats here on youtube that stay in chicago or near it.We could make a video of us going to sneaker spots and shit like that

[Coolers12546]

wth is near deadstock ? i thot deadstock is never worn so its close to never worn ? i dont get it...

buh yu fresh tho lol, is seattle all i see people wear is northfaces mostly...

[jstar25]

VNDS = Very Near Unworn (basically worn once or twice.

NDS = Worn gently and still in great shape.

Thanks for the compliment I wear a lot of Ralph Lauren and Hilfiger personally. I do have a NorthFace somewhere though...

[cmgduce83]

I hope to see some size 13's on your site, because your prices seem great so far. -Chris

[jstar25]

I'm working hard to get some size 13's in of the Anniversary's and a few others. Stay tuned. -Peace
