Foams were rocked on the east and west unless someone works for nike and can prove one city put them on the map then it doesn't matter...its just all hood speculation...

Was on The Tanks site and noticed these available for pre order (all sold out now).  He also has a few other c/w of the rookie on his site

not quite...ask someone at nike where da majority of transfers end up when foamposites sell slow nationwide.

Well... Being the most "over" populated city in America... It's evident that, that's where you would aim at, to send your "left overs".


Seems as these new foam threads are full of densed, deficient Nike "talkers"....




It hurts to even search for info in these threads.....

 

[never wear them]

With that being said... These aren't hitting the gym at all. Just got the gitd pair in, they're nice but ehh.

I think I came to the conclusion that these shoes aren't that comfortable... I wore my Binary Blues today and I must say that they kind of hurt the bottom of my feet and that is due to the lack of zoom air... This is the second time I wore them too if you count the GITD version as well.. 

 

[never wear them]

It's not bc of the lack of zoom. Zoom only gives you the responsiveness/bounce. It's a lack of tech. I'm def going to add some diff insoles.

 

[dr damon]

lack of tech=lack of zoom... if you have to put insoles in a 200 dollar shoe to make it comfortable, the shoe needs to be returned and get your money back. Nike is laughing their way to the bank on this release.

Me and my friend played in our gitd in a park gym and it was very comfortable and it didn't hurt our feet at all. I say worth the money also my ankle rolled onto someone's foot and the shoe prevented it from twisting bad and i got to continue playing so for me it was worth it. This was played for the first time this past weekend. Also got alot of looks for the glow when we turned off the gym lights. LOL!!!

I was wondering the same thing about Tanks site... but I hate taking a chance on pre-order's on stuff when I've barely heard they will be releasing certain colors.

Notice the only colors on the site are the one's we've seen here. What about the Black/Orange.

 

[witnesskb24]

The binarys are also on sneakerhead.com, they have a FSR

[willdex]

NO us13!!!

 

[KJay4]

More comfortable than Foamposites.

 

[nikedealer]

Got home and thought I knew what was in the box...... but I was wrong.. it was even better....

Not too many people are going to have this from the creator.... my man

Which means a box of Reds are SOON to arrive....

One of the few kicks I'd actually be willing to pay full price for though... and will in plenty of colorways.. Give this man his credit.

Those atlantics are by far the best looking pair out of the line so far. Congrats!

 

[witnesskb24]

Love the atlantics. Really hope they do a bigger release
