So, I got my kicks (they were "Knicks" MF Doom x Clarks Wallabees- pretty original, I'm a big fan)- I posted on foamposite cause I know it's active.
Apparently, the UPS guy just thought it would be cool with me if he gave them to a neighbor and told him to bring it over. Uhm, ok bruh.
But, the neighbors are cool and took care of it. Still on the fence about copping online again. Like what if they were Fragments or something and they picked the wrong neighbor?
Also, those Volt foams look pretty sick on feet. Add some versatility to the collection, not bad.

All of the best Foams, minus your galaxy/paranorman/supremes were one color. Pine greens, anthracites, stealths, royals, dirty coppers. Very rare that a foam looks hot with a pattern.No amount of celeb pics would get me to cop the volt pros

But, I love my volt/metallics because the volt pops and the pattern is subtle. Volt is a loud color.

Nice. Power of prayer my brother. Yeah if you don't live at my address don't give my stuff to anyone else. Exactly on the limited subject. People are really in this reselling business for the long term.

I work for FedEx and they encourage this, all they care about is "service" which means getting the packages off the truck. They tell us to find a neighbor that knows the person and leave it with them.

Lol and what I said went right over your head. I quoted what the sneaker stores reasons for not carrying foams. You my friend are NOT smart, report that.

Finish Line and Champs don't carry Foams cuz it's not offered to the buyers. It has nothing to do with "that crowd" nor is it a hard concept to grasp.

That was mentioned before. And finishline themselves mentioned "the crowd"
The same reason they cancel orders left n right on new releases and jordans, but u can use the same CC and buy some beaters and socks three mins later.
Finishline is grimey and does play games.
And i refuse to believe foams just arent available to them. Like nike isnt gonna offer a top selling line to a top chain store?

I'm not a fan of patterns/prints on foams either besides the "yeezy" which I don't really consider a pattern/print like the other foams from last year.
All those colorways you mentioned(excluding anthracites because the whole shoe is one color) have black tongue, eyestay, lining, swoosh(Pros) and a different color sole.
The only foams IMO that look good completely one color are the anthracites. Dark army foams had a black lining, eyestay, tongue, etc. so those don't count.

I think he's referring to the entire shoe being one color, not just the posite.

I remember that FNL was supposed to start carrying foams again back in 2012, my manager told me one day when I was working. Never happened though, gotta find out why.

Foamposite's are the worst shoes to wear when committing a crime.
Unless your just posted up.
of course these comments are only a guess

Foams in a robbery lets people know that you robbed the store "like a sir".
You didnt need the money you just wanted it because you were too fly to walk in the grass to go to the bank because your foams gotta stay icey..
Foams are cleaner when you walk on tile so thats why he robbed the bank..lol He didnt want to walk in the grass to take money out of his bank account..
See if he had sole savers/protectors he could have walked in the grass and didnt have to rob the store to get some money.. you see how much sole protectors will save you now?

Stickup Kid probably needed the 'guac' for dem DB Foams/Paranormans/Galaxy Fund.

Please post where they said this. I don't think any shoe store in their right mind would turn down a $200 shoe that they know would sell.
