I've been buying foams since '97, when i was 14 and got that nike postcard in the mail that change the way I looked at sneakers. I made my parents drive to a mall 2 hrs away to buy the original Ones for $119 after they sat for months. They were the only store within 140 miles to get them.
Now i'm 29 and the last 6 pairs i've bought were thru ebay. Today i said what the heck and decided get up 3 hrs early to save what $30? What a joke.
I tried to get my 12s and failed once again....Footlocker's got this 'wait just a minute' bs...
I always knew foams would eventually get the respect they deserve but this is just ridiculous. If every big name shoe is selling out in 3 seconds MAKE MORE. I originally bought my foams to play in; wouldn't nike like to see entire high school teams sporting these?
Not gonna happen when the only way to get 15 pairs is thru ebay for $300+ a pop....sneakers are utlititarian first and meant for collecting second.
