I don't see these moving big numbers at all. People in the hood that just buy forces to match their gear and get fresh don't drop $200 or more on em. That's why all the "supreme" Forces that dropped a couple of years ago sat on shelves until stores cut the price in half.
People that cop foams do so because they like foams. Not ANYTHING made with foamposite, but the actual, original shoes that we appreciated for the design. (foam 1's, flightposite's, foam pros). I don't know why they think we want this mish-mash of sneakers. Maybe with creating new colorways it would be cool, like eggplant foam 1's, or something like that, but not like "Let's mix this shoe, with that shoe, with 4 other shoes...."
If Nike really reads this stuff in depth, we want 2 things, and 2 things only:
1. Retros of all the shoes we know and love done PROPERLY with at least some attention to detail. I understand that cost of materials, etc... are different today, and I don't expect an exact reproduction, but stop giving us the wrong midsole, or cheap, cracking paint, or a REALLY strange shape on the upper, etc...
2. New stuff done the right way, on it's own. A little inspiration from classic sneakers is OK to some extent. (i.e. Lebron VII's) but just make it new and fresh, not a recreation of a shoe we once loved, or combination of a couple of shoes we once loved (sharkalaids, sharkleys, Alpholutions, New Nike tennis sneakers that look like Agassi's when you couldn't even get the Agassi retros right.)
If you're gonna do something crazy for foamheads, Quickstrike (not HOH) the Voltage Foam Pros, Carbon Fiber Flightposites, Royal Foam Pros, and Royal Foam 1's. If you want to do something new, combine 2 shoes we loved into one like you did with eggplant foams. Good example would be Royal Flightposite ones like the photoshop BP did that everybody drools over once a month or so, or do a carbon-fiber Foamposite 1 so we can have an all-black sneaker we'd gladly drop $200 on. Some stuff seems so simple and obvious but it just doesn't happen. I love the fact that we get classics retroed when we do (Griffeys were done well, same with GD II's, and I'm amped to get infrared 90's again, etc...) but sometimes they just don't make sense.
My ranting is done....

People actually like, and buy, the highs, so it's not like there's a huge difference between the those and the lows. Just be glad they didn't choose the mids.Originally Posted by young hova
I don't see how anyone could possibly walk into a store that had these hybrids, and any foam one or pro all priced at $200 and walk out with the hybrids over the other options.
Not that I agree with the idea Nike, but if your going to do a foam x af1 why pick the highs over lows? From what I remember, there are no low top shoes with foam material on them. I'd consider the foam maxes like a chunky mid. Outside of that, you've given us foam boots, which although is a boot is comparable IMO to the shoe in the post. Another thing, you can't just throw a clear sole on anything you trying to push hard just to get people to bite on the idea. You might fool some people, but you def ain't foolin me.
