as far as their OG inception foamposites have long been manufactured in tawian, where da general consensus is nike has its superior factories over there
its only until recently that foamposite are done in mainland china...

whoa....this was soley because there shipments were late, NYC heads were hunting these down and wipin em out left and right.
my local VIM got a restock once they sold out on da first day and people were unaware that more pairs arrived after da initial bumrush.

lol just found a guy selling a 07 pair for 160 and a brand new pair for 240 with people saying the mold on these is similar to the reretro of the eggplants i may just go with the 07 but you can never go wrong with a brand new pair especially with a swoosh price tag

production numbers are higher with these foams compared to the 07s.
plus 07s were a QS release where these have a set release date.
these will move but i highly doubt they selling out with the quickness.

ahhh blow me!! its gonna be more then enough to go around point blank the a GR at the end of the dayOriginally Posted by Iamdavidcha
Don't believe ignorant posts stating that 160 pair are arriving at their local store. That is way too much money and space for a store to tie up into one release. Even niketowns won't get that many pairs. 160 pairs means that the store is getting 20 pairs in each size...impossible. The guy who posted was probably given false information from an employee..
The 07 royal thread had only 30 pages so with 175+ pages now, there are 145+ more pages of hypebeast idiots who swear they know everything foam. Ignore these pansies and secure ur pair early if possible because they will be more limited than we're led to believe. I got my pair last week at 245 and they're alllllll gone at that price-glad I ignored these morons. I swear nt has become a wasteland of wannabe stand up comedians and ******os.
It's sad to have to shuffle thru 20-30 pages in order to find pertinent information. These idiots newbs are killing the shoe game.i'm sure all the true shoeheads agree.
Okay here's my info on comparison of 11 and 07 foams. The 11s have a smoother foam material. Both my 07's have granier foam when u look at it closely or in the light. Color is a litttttle bit lighter on 11s but not as noticeable as some pictures have shown. The grooves in the 07's are much deeper but not a big deal. Other than that and some weird scratch on the sole carbon fiber, the 11 is an amazing release. Easily worth the retail+25 bucks. That's why I'm sure nike won't release these in crazyy numbers-they are tooooo nice. My 07 pairs can stay ds and 11s will be worn!!!

Slimdunkin don't be mad that i called u out about 160 pairs releasin at your local footaction. Dont be salty cause u feeding people lies. I got raped for paying 25 over retail- but to true shoe heads 25 bux extra for a grail aint ishhhhh. Before u spew misinformation, make sure your 411 isn't ******ed. Like i said 160 pair wont even arrive at ntla.
And u are a perfect example of a hypebeast.talkin about the other foams sitting in stores for weeks. This may be true but no other foam are historic like the royals.
I got raped by royal foams and lovvvvedddxxx it!!!well worth 25$
Oh...and you cant blow what isn't there...so your request for me to blow you is impossssible...
Generally, when a thread eclipses 150 pages on nt, the shoe being discussed sells out quickly. So sleeping on this release bc of something you read on this site is a mistake.
The reason these are selling out at 240-250 is cause this is a true grail- (u can keep your yeezys kids)
If cool grays can sell out, these have a goood chance of selling out too. Dont compare these to any other foam releases cause its not the same.

^While NTLA might not get 160 pairs, I would bet money that stores out east will get that many if not more.

Iamdavidcha - ur assessment is wrong.
1. times have changed. a lot of shoes that SHOULD sell out dont now. it could be the economy and it could be because nike is overproducing every GR release now. And IF they do initially sell out, Nike just reproduces more or restocks. Look at the recent trends. Even the Cement 3s are restocking weeks after release.
2. you cant really compare the cool greys to these to be honest.
a. holiday releases sell much better because of obvious reasons
b. the Jordan lovers outnumber the foam lovers by far. As a shoe head, I would imagine you would understand.
My footlocker got like 180 pairs of silver 1/2 cents when they 1st dropped AND they werent giving employees discounts initially. Guess I am a liar also huh?

shipment came in today? anybody else' local fl just now getting their pairs? my local one doesn't have any pairs yet. i was getting kinda worried cause it seemed kinda late to still not have pairs in yet. seems like most gr releases usually come in 2 to 3 weeks early (at least at fnl). hopefully they're gonna get them. they got the previous 4 foam releases, but they didn't sell well. i figured it be just my luck they dont get the one cw that i really want.

stores got partial shipments because of the snow storm and rumors of a potential push back of the release date caused me a lot of discomfort.

yeah, i'm in indiana and we got hit hard. our mall was closed down for 2 days. weather probably has something to do with it. it just seems like a late shipment even with the storm hitting. the day our mall closed due to weather, we got our (fnl) shipment that had the 2011 jordans on it and they come out a week after the foams. keeping my fingers crossed.

Correct me if im wrong, but HOH NY had 300 pairs of foams... eggs, and coppers if im not mistaken.
And I dont think payin 25 over retail for Royals is gettin raped at all...
