So Ill be traveling to Rome, Paris and Barcelona in a couple months and since Paris and Barcelona have 1 House of Hoops each I was wondering what shoes should I expect them to have? Do they sell foams? What are the prices like?

I wouldnt get your hopes up too much.....foams have a very limited distrubuition in europe and mostly sell out pretty quickly. Expect nothing limited in normal footlockers. they carry limited amounts of basketball stuff especially now HOHs are around. Plenty of air max though and especially stuff like TNs and 97s in italy. I warn you now though, silver is a very popular colour in italy!

U never know depending on your timing i'd expect barcelona's HOH to have the barca kobes but in what quantities who knows......

And euro prices will be expensive

Both citites are meant to be cool places though

Footlocker in Sweden are limited in bball kicks, they usualy have like Kobes and Jordans high priced. If I were you dont bother because the dollar is so low. Unless you see something that isnt availible in the US. Europe carries different styles of nike shoes that USA doesnt.

yeah, dont expect much. what they mostly have in the netherlands are your basic basketball kicks.. jordans, kobes, perhaps lebrons, some hyperfuses and the lame team jordans/spizike combo's .. that's about it, unless you have money, there is a store in rotterdam that sells nice ones..

I don't think Foams get a euro release at all really.

Prices? Can be steep.

I suggest you check out the sites instead of wasting your time looking for euro exclusives. Everything is so globalized that can you practically buy everything via the internet. I was in London and Paris during  05 and 06 and didn't really pickup much of anything, except for JD Sports (which is based in the UK) Remember futbol is king over there! The US dollar isn't going to carry very far either. I suggest you keep your receipts so when you get to the airport you can get some money back on your purchases. Enjoy your trip!

If you're in Rome and can swing it there's a new House of Hoops door opening in Milan very soon!

Also, you may still come across Pewters in Barça, but I don't think you will in Paris.

what country's still have cool grays ?

holland is the best from what i know for jordans and basketball shoes in europe

when i used to travel to amsterdam almost once a year the footlockers by dam square had jordans for months on end

i got a pair of OG white/blue 12's from amsterdam way after the US release back in 1997

i also got a pair of black/red 7's two months before the release back in 2002

i remember i got a ticket for taking a piss in the streets and had to pay a fine a day before i left so i could not get the black/red 16's back in 2000 when they sold out in the statessmiley: roll

i also remember seeing a mismatched pair of OG space jams and the manager would not sell the shoes to me 2 years after the release

my last trip to holland in 2009 i saw a bunch of 11/12 packs only american tourist where buying jordans

i almost got a pack for the hell of it but i was too much to carry back on the plane

To put it into perspective, buying Jordan's there is like buying Gucci, Louis Vuitton here. 

Nike outside of the US is bound to be expensive because it's considered "imports"
