Yellowing is caused primarily by oxidation, UV exposure, heat, and environmental contaminants.

To slow the process:

✔ Clean soles regularly.

✔ Store sneakers away from direct sunlight.

✔ Keep shoes in a cool, dry environment.

✔ Use sneaker bags or boxes for long-term storage.

✔ Avoid excessive heat and humidity.

If your soles have already yellowed, our Kixs Life Sole Sauce can help restore clarity when used correctly with a UV light or natural sunlight, following our Sole Icing Guide.

Store sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity.

For the best long-term protection:

✔ Clean your sneakers before storing them.

✔ Insert shoe trees to maintain shape.

✔ Keep pairs in breathable storage boxes.

✔ Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.

✔ Never store damp sneakers.

Proper storage extends the life of both the materials and the structure of your sneakers.

Minor creases can often be reduced using a combination of shoe trees, controlled heat, and patience.

We recommend:

✔ Insert shoe trees or crease protectors.

✔ Lightly dampen a microfiber towel.

✔ Place the towel over the crease.

✔ Carefully apply low heat using an iron or heat gun (never directly on the shoe).

✔ Allow the sneaker to cool completely with the shoe trees still inserted.

For deep creases or luxury sneakers, we recommend using our professional restoration service to avoid damaging the material.
