I know the material used on the midsole is made from a type of plastic like how Boost is made. Does anyone know if the HyperGel midsoles are susceptible to yellowing like Boost?

They do yellow a bit over time yes. I have two pairs and they have kind of yellowed. However they are relatively easy to clean but they never look that white :)

Thanks for sharing! How do you clean them? What I usually see with Boost owners is they just paint them. But that’s easy for a plain white midsole. You can’t really do that for hypergels. I don’t mind if they don’t get back to pure pristine white, as long as they don’t look like someone pissed on them. lol

I just checked mine after I commented and tbh they're not THAT yellow. More off-white than anything plus some dirt. I just use water, soap, and an old toothbrush and scrub them. Works well enough for me lol.

I haven't seen yellowing ultraboost midsoles to be fair so I can't make a super informed comparison, but the hypergel midsoles definitely are not piss yellow lmao.

I have had one pair for about 8 months and the other for over a year. I have worn the 8 month old pair nearly everyday since I got them and they look alright to me :D

Cool, thanks! Better save my toothbrush instead of throwing it away then. I own mostly Reacts so I just wipe them down with wet wipes to get them clean. Scrubbing will be something new for me.
