I called PG HoH around 10:15 this morn and dude said that he still had my size available (sz. 11)...

Drove all the way from West Baltimore and got there somewhere close to Noon and they still had some left to my suprise...

I didn't think that they had that many ppl there, judging from the availabilty...

Charm... I was wondering if you were gonna cop these or not.  Glad to see you did.

Personally I think they *+%@ all over the solid red bottoms (which I passed on without a 2nd thought).  Not saying these are a double-cop or anything, but definitely worth the 1 pair pickup.

da line was HUGE in house of hoops, but they had so many so they decided to open at 7am to accommodate that people in line....with that said i passed easy, i

think da 2007 solid bottoms are superior..

Can someone post a side by side pic of these and the SOLID Sole Foams

 

[snearkearcollector]

they look nice to me

 

[mjsaver]

Translucent red sole >>> Solid red sole

The solid red sole looks a bit bright at times imo.

 

[purplehazen]

i agree with the solid sole comment, the 07's are just a better looking shoe...

 

[Magic33]

Grooves are noticeable, I guess I have to become accustom to the copper grooves on all future Foam One releases. No rush for me.

ill have my pair on weds so i can snap a comparison.

 

[Fresh Like Will]

I thought the indentations on the Copper's were fine, but you can really tell the difference in the Black/Red's in AlteredMayhem's pictures. Especially the last three.

And I always thought my 07's soles were a little dull. I didn't think they were bright at all, but they look really bright in his pictures. Maybe mine just lost some pop after however many wears.

later.

 

[bigj505]

^^^ never wear them - thanks

 

[william rivera 3]

I'll only post once on this page, I'd hate to troll like most of the active users here.

I hope these cough drops do re release in December, but Nike likes to lie. Decent pic btw.

 

[bush man 2002]

Hopefully HOH in DC will have some next weekend when I'm up there

yep, da brighter solid sole is much better...and da upper is also slightly more refined...and let's not forget that da solid sole wont get any more duller unlike da red translucent

sole thats a lil more of da mercy of da elements.

 

[raydio5]

SHETT those pics changed my thoughts on those Solid RED shoes of 07/08. I might have to pick those up now rather than the Cough Drops. The refined Foam lines look way better just like how the old eggplants were over the newer retros.

 

[qique516]

are these still available anywhere? or did they sell out i live in the DMV area

 

[never wear them]

I mean... If both came out the same time, i'd obviously go with the gum sole... I mean, who wouldn't, honestly?

But it's wtvr, cop wtvr makes ya happy.
