Would have had the blk/orange if FL didn't decide to release 2 days earlier. SMH... When you get confused just listen to the music play .... Harley's, Jack Daniels, Jordan's & Women - What a Great Life

Fauxposites, like the takedown models from when i was in HS ? I was lookin at the all blacks Its not that soft fake Fauxposite, its just incredibly hard plastic, even down by where the midsole should be. Its not Foamposite material at all, the whole shoe is straight hard plastic.... I got em from swoosh because I love the look, but even for 120 im disapointed in the quality, nevermind 200.... Heres the cut and paste from Eastbay The Nike Zoom Rookie celebrates legendary Penny Hardaway's career on the courts. This shoe gets it's inspiration from each shoe that helped Hardaway become the icon he is today. Featuring an upper made of a mixture of nubuck, leather and a foamposite-like shell for lightweight support. While the outsole is crafted out of translucent rubber for a stylish edge. Removable insole. Wt. 17.6 oz. nike got them this and that post on the same page about dudes brother buying them and not even being into sneakers really says something, i dont see many people rocking these in ny tho

Registered Member Posts: 2095 12/27/11 11:45 PM	I agree, the design is great.... The best hybrid/mashup Nike has ever done by far, the lines flow very smoothly and sleekly on it I just dont get for 200 how they cant put real Foam on it or put more then the tiniest sliver of Zoom possible.... Especially after all the other Foam shoes they have done recently at a slightly lower price point I am upset at the 120 swoosh price, never mind the 200 retail

If I buy a Ferrari at MSRP, I better NOT take it home and find out it's just a kit car, and the carbon fiber components in the dashboard are really just hard plastic. A Ferrari kit car for like 1/5 of the cost? I'll consider it. But charge me full price and then I find out it's not really what it looks like?
