UPS just showed up. very relieved that they're in great cosmetic condition. no excess glue. no nothing. they're perfect. my parents got me the OGs in '97 on release day and they actually got me the 2007 retro for my birthday that year, so this is actually the first royal foam i've bought for...
Went to the Altamonte Mall in Altamonte Springs, FL today. Footlocker still had royal Foamposites in stock in sizes 8.5, 9, 9.5, 10, 10.5 and 11.5. My size 12 from footaction.com is supposed to arrive tomorrow, but if the mall had a size 12, I might have doubled up. This was the first time I'd...
Those complaining about price should just buy less. It's supply and demand. Nike pushed Lebron elites up to $275, people stopped buying, so the next year they were $200.
Think foams are overpriced, stopped buying as many and the prices will fall.
Same thing happened to me. Stayed up all night. Was ready the second the button changed. Had my gift card pre-loaded into my account. But then got an error. Then tried again several times and kept getting out of stock.
After ten minutes of that nonsense, I randomly went to footaction.com and lo...
thanks so much for the info. best of luck to everyone attempting to get these today. as inconvenient as the date switch is for me personally, hopefully the short notice switch will make these an easier pick up for those aware of the change.
a lot sure has changed since these dropped in '97...
i don't usually go to bed until 6am. i was planning on spending the next week adjusting my sleep schedule so i could wake up in time for the release next thursday.
just as i start to do that, i find out the release has been moved up. oh man, i am soooo tired but have to find a way to stay awake...
royal foam is my favorite shoe of all time and my '97 & '07 have been beaten to hell & trashed over the years. didn't buy in 2011 so i'm actually desperate for the 2017 version. but other than that, there's no foam i'd want more than a black pro. i've seen the rumors about copper & eggplant...
ya it's definitely the foam pro i most want to see retroed. hoping for the 20th anniversary that they'll be retroed for the first time.
but i'd even settle for any black/black foam pro. prefer the icy sole, but i'll take what i can get. i don't think we've had a black/black foam pro since like...
Great info. Thanks man. Honestly back then I had no idea there were two different black/black/white pairs. So you may be right. I only found out years later that the black/black/white and black/black/white/silver were actually different colorways, even though honestly I'm still not entirely sure...
No, please, chime away!
Is it possible the order was Pearl, Black/Black, Voltage FTA and then Black/Black FTL? The only reason I ask is because that photo I posted with the FTL exclusive . . . the item description makes it sound like it came out way later. Like almost a retro later. So based...
big j -
sure, someone can have an OG pair of dooms, but that doesn't mean the dooms are an OG colorway.
so when the other user said 2016 was a good year for foams because OG colorways were released, and the dooms were listed as an example, that didn't really make any sense because the dooms...
i know it was 20 years ago, but do you happen to remember if it was the last foam pro that was released?
also, do you remember if the black/volt came out before or after the black/black/white?
which would mean every colorway ever is an og colorway . . .
that's not what og colorway means. og colorway = non retro colorway.
does anybody here happen to know the exact order the four OG foam pros were released in? i know pearl was first, but what order did the black/black white...
okay so these were footlocker exclusive:
were any of the other foamposite pro OG colorways exclusive to a specific retailer?
EDIT: the black/volt were footaction exclusive i think right?
no an OG colorway is a NON RETRO colorway. the jordan 12 had five colorways back in the day. any colorway created later is a "retro+" i.e. retro of a shoe, but in a color that didn't originally exist.
but while we're talking about OG foam pro colorways . . . does anybody here remember which of...
