I'm willing to trade my VNDS Dark Armies 7.5 and my VNDS J.Kidd flights for a pair of Galaxies 7.5 through 8.5 VNDS or DS . PM me if interested . I prefer NYC meetup

Don't do it. Jkidd and dark army are a lot harder to come by then these galaxy

Agreed. And those J-Kidd flightposites blow these joints out of the water too, IMO. That was a shoe that would have merited a ton of hype, but they kind of flew under the radar because that was before the foam madness.

Thats your opinion but I agree with Maximilian when he says these will always be remembered as one of the biggest releases in Nike history and they look great!
I cant believe you would say the foam 1 isnt a top 10 model in the history of Nike basketball....top ten Nike's overall might not be the case for some but top 10 nike basketball sneakers is a no brainer IMO

Waiting for people to wear these a couple of times, have another hyped shoe come out and then see pairs for sale at more reasonable prices.

this. especially the kidd flights. still reminisce about my pair that i sold about a year and a half ago. armies as well. don't miss the armies nearly as much as the kids. those kids are insane. don't do it!! BUT, i gotta be honest... as far as actually wearing them i'd rather have my galaxies, but that's just me.
also, it's all opinion, but i'd have to agree that the foam one in general would have to be mentioned among top ten all time.

Of course I meant Nike Basketball Top 10, since I am only familiar with the Nike Basketball section!

I wouldnt trade straight for my armies... JKidds and armies, you'd be a victim of the hype.

Aight im gonna take you guys advice and rescind my offer

Well, I'll say this - and I know this is only my opinion, though I know I'm not the only one who feels this way - even with the Foam One in the mix, pound for pound, the Barkley line > the Penny line.
It may or may not be a top 10 Nike Basketball shoe (it's definitely not if you consider original runs of Jordan sigs "Nike basketball," which they were as per the original catalog categorizations - but I understand, that's a bit of a bait and switch in the context of this discussion).
Still, I don't think it's a slam dunk. You still have Command Forces, Air Force Max, 180 Air Force Max, 180 Max pumps, Air Pressure, Godzillas, CB34s, Flight 89s, Penny Is... There are a lot of other strong contenders - that's all I'm saying.
I don't expect most people to really understand the significance of shoes like Flight 89s or Air Delta Forces if they weren't even alive in those days. But, for those who experienced it, every one of those shoes made a bigger impact on their day than the Foam 1 did upon their release.

You sure that's the word you're looking for?
As for me, I don't think these look all that but Royals aren't the only c/w that look good

For those that are still looking for the Galaxy Foam, there's a 10.5 left. :http://www.rif.la/show_item.php?id=60674

Truth. Royals are definitely classics, but so much other hot CWs. I think what drew me to the Galaxies was the GITD sole. The print itself is ok, but you throw that GITD sole on any of the other foams and it would make it twice as sick, IMO.

agreed. that was the finishing touch that made this sneaker so hot. it was the cherry on the sundae

I wouldn't drop more than retail for these, they have 0 durability. If you scrape your feet against anything, say bye to the screen printing

I've worn these 3 or 4 times & ehhh the thrill is gone. Still going to keep them in the collection but nothing that I would miss if I did get rid of them.
