Take this for what you will, but i was recently is new jerk sleazy (smaller city than i expected) and asked a nike id employer at niketown and was given a "no time soon" response to that very question.
One must also consider how costly it must be to be able to paint all those various foam molds, seeing as how foams are certainly one of (if not the most) expensive shoes for nike to produce.
Also there arent all that many pieces to that shoe to color in comparison to say a spiz'ike.
My guess is it nevrr happens, unfortunately

A local spot by me still has shooting star foams. I shudder to think how much they are

I have to slightly disagree with you on that one. Last month ( or November ) nike put the Chuck Posite up on ID for a limited time. And that shoe is constructed fully with posite material. In that regard I don't think it's a production issue.

they dont wanna do it because Nike fears that we will make better foams than they would...

Make no mistake about it , foamposites will always sell. Maybe not as fast as they used to or as frequently as they are released. But regardless of the color they will sell. Nike is still making over 100% profit on foams even when they hit the outlets.

Very true in fact nike makes more off whats sold at the outlets then in full priced stores.
Since 85 % of outlet product has already been paid for.
nike did good with the weathermans tampons spiderman and asteroid foams
You see people who paid at box or way under fir them
the only people who didn't do good on these foams are the mom and pop retail stores paying 55 percent of 250 and i know a few stores that are still stuck with them

I miss the old days of foams.. 2007-The Year Before Galaxy Hype.. we could go late and still get them.. i think the only foam that had people going crazy.. them eggplants.. whew!!

Weathermans sold well its just that nike flooded the market with them.

One could make a case for the Concords , seeing as how they are still on the shelves at the outlets. But all the Thermals ( I don't like referring to them as tampons ) sold out once they hit the outlets ( I was present at the new Orleans outlets when they put them out on the shelves and I called the next day and all they had were 2 pairs left ) , the weathermans sold out quickly , the silvers camo's sold out at the outlets , the asteroids sold out , the safari's sold out, and i'm more than sure the knicks and volts will sell out as well.

I don't mind paying 250 for a classic cw. Gimme blackout pro's with a gum bottom. Drop stealth ones again and I'd pay 250. I'd have paid 275 for shooting stars if Nike wanted to do that instead of the pack. But I won't pay $10 for a wack cw I don't like. Id rather have chipotle over tampons or weathermans.

weathermans sold out on the leg of people trying to make cash off of the After-galaxy Hype

your statement has a huge astericks. they did not sell out instantly... they sold out once the price got to that good number and i personally know a lot of them get purchased by bulk buyers.

^^^ good stuff

But they still sold. And nike will continue to make money off foams. But that goes back to my original point that foams regardless of undesirable CW's they will sell. Be it bulk buyers , campers , outlet shoppers ( like myself ).
