And it got worst once I told him the price. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Where I came from, you didn't wear this shoe unless you were a fan of Penny, a legit hooper or a dope boy. So the understanding of buying a shoe looking like the way it does, for the price it's marked at - some people may never get it.. 

I have Eggplants, Coppers, Royals and Pearls and have only worn the Coppers 1x.  I've seen 2 guys wear foams in socal... one was waiting in line for the XI re-release a few weeks back but he must have been an east coast guy because nobody from socal wears gigantic snow jackets when it's 60's degrees outside.

As for the Electric Greens, I'll definitely be wearing them as soon as I get them...how can anyone keep a shoe like this in a box?

They are not hyped in Cali, becuase when they came out here we didn't support Foams back in 97. We let them sit on the shelves and rot away. DMV & NYC scooped them up and that is why they get so many shipments. DMV & NYC are notorious for buying Foams. Cali will always have Foams sitting on shelves while the East coast will buy asap. And i wouldn't consider them hyped in them areas, it's their nature to buy them. I'm glad nobodies buys Foams in Cali

when the Royals released, I was the only one that was waiting for them at my FTL...everyone else was waiting for the OC Kobe's.

Like i said, we are a small market for Foams.

i expect all ya shipments of foamposites going right back to da east coast as via a transfer as usual.

yep.

i remember da first 2000 retro of da all black pros that dropped with da space jams...pssh if you had da foams you SHUT DOWN cats with da jordans.

IMO, it's wack when they make an all black foam then just make the sole another colour.

Yup around that time is when foams really became a prominent shoe, for every 10 cats rockin space jams and/or 15's, there were 2 or 3 cats with the foams on that had headz on smash. Most cats I knew were hoopers but you could spot a lazy hustler with these on from a block away. Matter of fact, when those exact black foam pros dropped is when foams became the urban classic shoe.
these electric green joints get no love out here. uptown cats aint even messin with them lol
