I must say though, 2 things... Yes I like my 02's and the OG's better, well because it was the benchmark set for all retros.. But these are really nice in person, under bright light they aren't all creamy looking like in pictures or darker light. You can't really transcend through the computer how they really look. My sole also isn't bright blue, like in earlier pic's either..
Last but not least, to anyone who wore them already (wore one of my pairs to the gym) , out of ANY recent retro in the past few years, do you notice how comfortable these are??? They feel more like my OG Royal's, soft around the foot and while walking in them, softer foam, not all stiff and brick feeling.. I have worn several Foams from 06 to current date recently, and I did notice that. But after wearing my Original Royal's today, and then throwing these on, they felt just as good surprisingly.
On another note, my one pair was flawless. I didn't bother looking at my second pair until I got home, has glue stains on the suede around the lace holes, and on the foam :/ Going to exchange them tomorrow!

the pearl coating gives the foamposite pro a more "sleek" look rather than the 02's coating, more stylish and it sticks out....judging by the pic's online of course.
but like how it always goes with the majority of sneakerheads, the shoes that came out years ago will always be held to a higher standard for some reason, main reason is because the quality has took a step down....but in this case, the quality is the same....just diff colors.
2010 pearls>>>>>>>>
still not copping though, funds are near extinct, plus my love for them went down as the months came close to release date.....kind of was waiting for the royals until they got pushed back to next year.

still not sure why these are compared to the 02s other than the fact that they have the same nickname.
2 different colorways altogether.

Yeaa, still up today. It's been making me contemplate getting another pair. But since it seems these are overly mass produced, they may hit the outlets and I can pick up some steals

Definitely feel you bigj. Thats why I didnt want them at first, they werent a viable replacement for the originals. The 02s are white; these 2010 are more of a cream color. Either way, its a nice colorway, I seen them on someone yesterday. So uhhhh, check ur pm's bigj.
PS. Cuz that I seen them on must've been too pressed. High schooler, had on a lime green polo, skinnies and the 2010 pearls with his spiral inhand.
