I know im copping my pairs from either HOH Galleria or Northline. I was at Shiekhs earlier this afternoon and just so happens I see Michael Beasley, Wes Johnson, some Euro dude and some ugly broad walk in. But anyways one of my boys that worked there showed Beasley the Foams...he seamed not interested. But my boy did tell me they had about 20 pairs there. That dont bother me because I probably wont ever go to Shiekhs for a release.

Mind telling me how come you choose not to go to Shiekhs for a release? The one at the Galleria seemed to be the only store to carry the last couple of cmft max 11's and the staff was pretty friendly as well so I was thinking about heading there first...
Where is HOH located at in the Galleria? I always park a Dillards and walk across the street through neiman marcus I think. Still have yet to see it...

The HOH is downstairs @ the Food Court besides the GameStop. You can walk in though the regular Foot Locker entrance and go to it to your right. As for Shiekh's that location is pretty shady when it comes to major releases like this or the Jordan XI releases. Not only will they get limited stock, they'll hold back inventory from those who aren't in the circle. They were especially slick when the 11/12 CDPs and Space Jams released and there's more than a few stories about the Cool Grey release. HOH is known for getting slick too when major releases come around but they tend to get larger inventory than the Northline HOH though. If you don't have a solid hookup be prepared to either get there mega early or campout when a bigtime release comes if you're going to deal with the Galleria.

No one wears foams in Cali, i guess thats why most spots are like "Huh, i have no idea if we're getting those."

Nope, I live about 30 mins north. Cross County and Getty square are suppose to have a decent size run.

That's for sure...I've never seen anyone wear foams in LA..including myself.  I have 5 pairs and non of them have seen the nice Cali sunshine.  All I wear are my running shoes and AFI's when I go out.  Kobe's for bball and that's it.

as for other info, the footlocker at arden will get about 12 pairs or so...forgot what number but around that....not sure about others

 

[bigj505]

its like the west coast and east coast flip flop inventory numbers for foams and kobes.

east gets 0 love on the more limited kobes. west gets 0 love on foams.

i hope everyone that wants a pair gets a pair.

The Kobe VI 3D release was a limited release, so our stock was extremely limited for them.  The Royal Foams are a general release, so the stock numbers are a lot higher than what we had for the 3Ds.  You really can not compare these two releases to each other, since the Royal Foams will be available in many places around the US, where as the 3Ds were not.

they just may appear to have a blue tint because of the foam material coming through

Now i actually went and picked mine up to have a look before posting that, they look tinted to me. Thought they were doing that to all ice soles to prevent yellowing. Maybe i'm seeing things....

Who ever made up that fib was lying. Nike/JB's bluing up the sole will NOT prevent yellowing.


  

 

[nikeairon]

Anyone have any San Diego info? I pretty much called almost every FL and FA here and NONE of em are gettin the foams...Help!

 

[youngcurse]

now that i think about it didn't Nike & Penny Hardaway have a contractual conflict due to his signature line. Can someone shed some light on this?

It can't be anything that we should worry about, Nike obviously is still releasing foam 1's. That's all I care about. I actually found 1 store that ISN'T selling these. Lol. Sometimes its good to live in NYC.

 

[manslayer]

Damn, this thread is starting to pump out pages now! And it seems like the swoosh discount is flip flopping everyday, one says it is, the other says no. Maybe it'll go down to a coin flip in the final seconds?

Regardless, these will be bought.

 

[GMatt23]

Smh I unds'ed my pair today and the right shoe is squeakin in the front already.....I wish I didn't trade my worn 07 pair for a vnds dmp 11

 

[j steezzz]

[fivesixtwo]

Anyone going HoH Lakewood? If so what do you think are the chances of peeps really camping for these?

 

[jfmartimcdandruff]
