[optimusp517]

All I gotta say is the 2009 dominates the 2010. The luster in the color when I opened the shoe box is night and day!

After 10 wears of wearing them at least an hour, but if you go run 5 miles it speeds up the process

Add to that the reduced quality and you have guaranteed outlet fodder. Just give me the eggplant 1/2 cents and I'm good.

These arent gonna hit the outlets in mass quantity.

Yep, Nike sold enough at $200 to justify releasing them again, not like the Trainer SC's. These aren't hitting outlets in mass quantities, they would go down to $179 and $149 first. People act like the cactus, all black and black/reds didn't go on sale.

damn that jacket is nice

I just bought my first pair of Foams to see what the fuss was about, I gotta be honest, I really never liked the shoes until I bought my pair and actually looked at them and tried them on. I have the 2010 eggplants and I think they're dope. I now own 2 pairs of the 2010's I got them both under retail. I have to say I like them a lot, I plan on balling in one of them, and hopefully ballin in the other pair when my 1st ones are trashed.

The only thing is that they're heavy. I recently sprained my ankle playing in Kobe v's, so i'm gonna try these. I'm probably gonna be the only 1 to say this, but i'm kinda glad that the 2010's aren't as shiny as the 2009. I don't really like my shoes too "flashy'. Anyways i'm happy with my 2010's. Lookin' forward to ballin' in these after my ankle fully heals. Also lookin forward to the future releases. I finally get what foams are about. Thanx niketalk.

glad I got these under retail haha

 

[bigj505]

^^^ ball indoors in them and they structure will last for a very long time
and maybe buy an ankle support for the kobes?

 

[skratch84]

I acutally stepped on sum1's foot, that's why I sprained it. I'm pretty sure it's a highly common accident. It happened to me before. I never where an ankle support, but as i'm getting older it might be a good idea. I was never a fan of the velcro ankle support, have any suggestions? I want a thin support.

After all these years I finally see what's up with the foams. I need a late pass.

On another note, I just picked up my first dark knights...must say...they are DOPE.

Thanx for the advice Bigj505

I recently tore ligaments in my ankle because I landed on someones foot after a rebound.
It was terrible, I hated the bulkiness too, but I've been using a support that uses laces instead of velcro.
Works well for me; of course there will be a little more limitation in lateral quicks though.

 

[bigj505]

Skratch84 - no prob man.
as far as suggestions go... no clue. i dont ball enuff anymore to wear accessories. im more concerned about a bottle of gatorade than my ankles because im so out of shape

but yea the uppers will remain solid for a long time. the paint might rub off but thats expected. and u know hooping indoors is easier on the soles so thats def a formula for success.
i hooped inside in my royal foam pros for a long time and they are still solid. hooping outside in flightposite 1s = death because the sole was so thin.

 

[nerdyjw]

copd

 

[gmac32]

2 bills tho :/

 

[dneou20]

after wearing both these and my coppers... they're a lot softer than the coppers
i unds-d them with the quickness and just unds-d the coppers today
and i could feel my ankle being irritated by the stiffness of the foamposite and the foot -_-
