My c/o '97 pack came in and I couldn't be happier with the color of the Foamposite. Exactly how it should be. Just sucks they couldn't get the sole right with the milky/gum bottom. Time to start yellowing them tho...

Won't have my pack until next week. Trying to be patient :lol:
 
having faith that there are still some holos in my size still sitting just waiting for me to pick them up!...im ready to cop something!!
 
I wanted to compared the "off white" maroon 6s n 2002 pearls...The 2002 aged well..I love their champagne color and butterscotch soles...I liked the 2010..it was my go to foam for a couple of years but after the soles yellowed they didn't looked good at all. So I sold them for $100 smh...If I find a DS pair I'd cop n def use a sole protector. I know the c/o 97 "pearl" foam are matte white but I've been wanting another pearl foam so I copped..my pack from NDC should be here tomorrow...I'm waiting to compare the foams too!

*Edit. I found old pics of my OG Royals n OG Pearls..
The OG Pearls n 02 Retro were almost identical...the "pearls" on the pack are nothing like the OGs...they're more like shooting star foams..

The foams from the pack are definitely white but they do have a glossy finish to them. It's not major but it's there's for sure and it's absolutely noticeable. These don't scream pearl but they look a lot more pearly than people make them seem. Definitely not a matte finish. Am I the only one who sees this?

They should be attainable if you do the leg work and know where they are dropping. Don't put all eggs in one basket

yea im definitely gone try my best man, jus alotta stores do raffles in my area... an it sucks i hv work on the day dey releasing so i wnt b able to hit the fcfs stores in my area...
 
So after trying to hold off I couldn't resist and had to go get the pack today. Drove like 1hr from Long Beach to Nike Santa Monica in the rain cause it was the only place I could find my size 13 :smh:

Very happy with the Foams. These were my very first foams every in 97. Have the 2002 pair and the 2010 Pearls as well and these are on point like the 02's IMO. Still have the OG's at my moms house so I wanna go get em so I can take some comparison pics with all 4 pairs.

Nah I understand it, places around me don't even carry my size (14) so usually I hit up nyc or jersey than online. Wish you luck tho, we should be good to cook.
 
FedEx suprised me knocking on my door around 7:30PM..NDC wasn't playing with the 2 day air shipping! I usually get ground shipping by UPS. Anyways these pearl foams are dope! Grooves, carbon n shape is on point w the OGs and 02 retros. These foams put the sharpie foams to shame! They def have a pearlescent finish to them, but Nike def cut corners w the flight hawk the upper is flimsy, is some elastic durabuck material smh. The pack is worth $385 cuz it's $300 for the pearls, $50 for the Hawks n $35 for the box lol.

These pearls are def very close if not identical to the og in color. Anyone who says otherwise is probably 15 and has no sneaker knowledge.

So I'm not team true to size anymore guys lol, after trying to buy foams my size and wait for that " break in" period. I decided to go up .5 and it feels a bit better comfort wise. Tts just makes my toe feel like it's slamming at the very front of the shoe. Will move forward buying foams up half a size now!
