Why would you want that?

While we're at it, anyone knows a method to prevent yellowing or even reversing it? I assume you could bleach them somehow but that would probably make them corrosive.

I bought these AF1 ages ago before I started thinking about how I dress. The material is like a canvas-nylon sort of thing. Can anything be done to these as I really don't like the colour way.

Alternatively; does anyone want to purchase these relatively cheaply?

"These are kids' shoes, but I buy them for my mom, a senior with some mobility issues (she uses a walker or a cane). These shoes are comfortable to wear and give support to her ankles, so she tires out less. The velcro strip at the top not only helps with the snug fit, but also hold the laces up so if they become undone they won't trip her as she moves about. "

Air maxes and high top AF1s were my jam since elementary school. Intentionally wanting to oxidize the sole is funny though. Could try scrubbing it with peroxide + bleach to get that effect. It happens gradually as you wash and re wash the sole on a normal basis anyway.
