No look pass for me
No I'm a sucker for black based foams (black based shoes in general really

) but these are not appealing at all.
 
It's the way they strung up. Wait til you see a shoelebrity or maybe a filtered picture. Not appealing...wait to you see the ace or Rico with the Gucci press on tees. [emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji][emoji]128514[/emoji]
 
Just wondering, and this probably goes to @bigj505, since he brings this up more often, but what's the big difference in foam molds that seems to raise hackles? Wouldn't there be different molds for each size to begin with? Couldn't, say the size 12 mold be slightly different than a sz 10 mold? And when did the molds 'change'?


Just need a bit o' schoolin so I can see for myself what the complaints are about.


If I were home I would get you better pictures of what we talk about when we speak on how the molds have become worse as of lately than the "golden days".

This is a picture of a pair of my 2009 eggplants (right) next to the 2010 eggplants (left). The exact same shoe basically only a year apart. Difference being is that the 2009 pairs back then were made in Taiwan and the 2010 was made in China. Now Im not going to get into details as they are self explanatory. As you can see the difference in the "ribs", it is very different. Also the color of the 2 pairs are different, the 09s are much more pearl like and pop MUCH more.


These are my 97, 07, and 2010 Royals in that order. Like I said, if I were at home I would get you better pictures, the "ribs" are close, but obviously the 97 is very defined. But also take in account the cut around the heel and also shape. I have worn and do wear all of these. But look at the shape of the 97 and 07. The 97 has that nice coke bottle look lol. The 97 is pretty good, but look at the 2010. It just looks very thick. Not much curve. Also notice the Penny logo itself, the 97 is very bold, it gets worse as the years pass on. Look how far the cut of the heel comes down onto the polite as well. 
If you look at a picture of the side of the original (97) foamposites, you will notice that on the side of the shoe right under your ankle, there are 2 flat spots on 2 of the ribs. This was going to be used to have NIKE pressed into the shoe like on the wear/test sample shoe back in 96/97. For some reason they scrapped that idea but the mold had already been made and the molds are not cheap. But I am pretty sure that the factory that made the first foaposites caught no fire or something and the original molds were lost. At least thats what has been going around in the foam community.

To the average/casual person who has a pair or two of foamposites, who cares? Well for the guys who have been into foamposites since Jordans started to retro a lot, we were paying 180-200 for them. Now we are paying 235-250 each release and they're only getting worse. This is why this subject keeps coming up, especially in this thread. Hope this helped you understand a little more 


If I can get lucky and get a pair of mirrors for retail I won't complain.
Ive got my flame suit on but I always felt the 2011 Royal foam was truer to the OG in shape and details to the 97. The pull tabs are long on the 97 and 11 and not so much on the 07. Ive had all 3 pair. Lost Ogs in Katrina :frown:

Im not saying the 11s are bad. I still like them and looking for a second. But the 07s to me are very nice. Don't seem as shiny like the 11s, so I tracked down a second. Just showing the guy that the shoe changes each time they release.

I will say that the shape of the 11s vs the others, the 11s are no where close IMO
 
Gucci Pros are garbage :x I wish the suedes had a gum bottom... still my favorite foam since the Wheats :smokin
 
Thought Nike was done with suedeposites :smh:

How long before we see a patent leatherposite >D
 
Gucci foams are an easy pass
Grey suede foams are an easy pass

Chrome foams will be had if possible. Praying on a double up on those so I can return my original Ndc pair

Haven't had time to wear them yet anyways. Only wear sneakers 2-3 days a week now. Had a backlog of shoes to wear :smh:

Huh? Return? Why? Thought you wanted to double up. And why not just sell

Sorry. Too early.

Would love to get 2 more. Would sell Ndc pair instead of return.
I showed pics before but the left and right molds on my pair aren't consistent. One shoe has more defined grooves than the other. Hard to see because of the chrome
