This is most noticable around the gills closest to the toe cap in the front of the shoe.

However I must say the cough drops that released this xmas dont seem to have this problem all of the ridges on the shoe seem to be well pressed and i dont see any water mark type stains similar to what i noticed on the '10 eggs and pearls

So i guess what im trying to say is yes, there is some apparent changes to the shoe since it was moved to China, however there is hope that things can be made with a high quality of service

That seemed to be a problem only with the eggplants due to the soft iridescent nature of the colored material. Pearls didn't have that problem, but their color was the problem. Looked faded and ugly.

[asia]

I heard they are a limited GR...

 

[mrdozo]

GR=a sigh of relief.

 

[the notorious bum]

Which one is the 'first Footaction in the Bronx'? Bay Plaza? I would like to get these in a 6, so thanks in advance.

 

[blackmagnus514]

Is Sneaker St restocking? I need these in a 9.5 or 10....220 is way too good to pass up.

I already have the 07s but it came down to either these or the AJ Cement 3s...I think these'll be more limited so I'm going with these.

 

[create24chaos]

wow! this next couple months gonna be stupid for me.  With the cements on lock Ill be getting a couple of foams for the generation collection.  2 OG's. 3 07's. and now two pairs of 2011 Foams. Why, oh why! Oh well, here we go.

 

[sofargone510]

still have my 07s but one pair will do

I just hope they worked all the kinks out of the new system while they were pressing all of those pearls because nike cant do the do royals wrong, we cant have these kind of miscues lol no water stains and good molds. A general release would be nice i would like to try and get a 2nd pair on discount from a friend.

for anyone who is wondering about what i am exactly talking about with the ridged gills. you can see the pictures linked below. the white pearls are most noticeable around the top and bottom of the gills out lining which normally defines the space between the gills and the shoes sole.

yup, bay plaza always gets some heat.my homey told me thats the mother store of all footactions in the bronx. not sure if you gotta ask for them to get the size for you in advance but i know a girl who got a size 6 from there.. its a funny thing how that size 6 still looks kind of big, probably cause it was a chick wearing them... i wouls go there a week or so in advance just to make sure, or even give them a call

I was just at that Footaction today and one of the female employees was rocking the Pearls

, broke my neck though.

 

[kingofny04]

If these are anything like the Pearls I will gladly take two pairs without hassle.

Are u  stupid bro!? They are a GR, in no way will these be limited. C'mon son pay attention.
  

 

[stillmatic718]

I'll be getting them again, but I still think they released these too early. Haven't worn my '07 7 times yet. Oh well.

 

[rawairmia]

Finally these will be in my grasp!

 

[getsumbznss]

Need these in my life

Why do foams have to be so expensive?

I mean if you can justify paying $200 for any pair of sneakers then go ahead...
I want these but I can't afford them right now

I got a few foams but have no doubles - price IS a factor. I only want the royals and a white/black/royal based foam to release. All these skittles colorways I can do without.
