Cameras cannot capture the bright cactus well and make it look more yellow than it is.

^ I saw the all the black foams samples at the start of the year for $300.00 with the smoked soles and they still look as cheap as the released pair.

These are fly. I really like the fluorescent yellow on these, it really brings the shoe out. I'll cop a pair soon sometime. But I have the 8's on mymind currently.

I'm wild disappointed on how both of them came out. I don't normally complain much but translucent bottom would've made the cactus joint at least ano brainer. But this wack color green, solid bottom, and the fact that the upper is just mad dull is no go. Same goes w/ the all black foam one's. I'mglad I still have a good pair of pro's.

Between the sample pic, and the general release pair, the difference isnt THAT major...only a shoehead would see the difference if you were to see someonewearing the sample, or someone wearing the regular release
in all it is a good shoe, we have to take what we can get from nike though....foams wont be on nike's retro list for ATLEAST another 5 years
