people need to stop complaining about the "quality" of these shoes. In no way are these poor/ bad quality. True there may be some huge noticiable differences from the 09's, but these are still good quality, durable shoes. People wanted the exact same thing as the 09's but they dont realize that they are two completely different releases that have nothing to do with each other. It's just the way Nike chose to change the shoe. The only people who even notice the dulled purple color are people who owned the 09's(including myself, but i still like the shoe). I bet if the 09's never release then none of yall would be complaining about a damn thing.

Good Lord with the "shallower indents = less quality = ripoff to buyers" arguments.
And just because someone doesn't care about the DEGREE OF INDENTATION ON A SHOE (like myself) doesn't automatically make them "noobs to the shoe game" and "unable to understand" -- I've been in the game for years, I'm just not going to write a terrific shoe off because it's foam indentation is 1/10th of a centimeter different than last year's release of the shoe.
Talk about beating a dead horse...

I see everyones points but i am just curious are the coppers indentations different from the 10 eggplants? because if they were made in the same factory within a month or 2 of each other they should be the same right? Also has anyone considered the fact that the paint being more of a dull color could effect how the indentions look in pictures. When i checked my friends pair out yesterday the indentations did not seem that shallow from what i could see. The foam seemed just as thick as other foams. I really would like to see someone bust a scale out and weigh them because to me they seemed just as sturdy as my 09 eggplants and my coppers. Once again this was just from what i could see for the few seconds i was checking them out. I just think somethings strange because the shape of the shoe doesen't seem to be any different, so why would they decide to suddenly start using less foam material now when last months release was fine

I copped because I missed out last year I love foamposites in general and the diffreneces aren't that great the only thing I wonder about is if the metallic red foams ( if it's even true) come out will they be a rerun of the 09 space jams and there terrible quality.

good point does it really make a difference they are just shoes I've sat a read all of the comments and complainants of people and I see both sides but my God it not that serious, people aren't going to stop and inspect your shoes and point out that you have the 09 or 10 versions

The 09's are better, but the 10's are still
a dam good shoe.
Seems like people takin it personal

That shouldn't be the case.

2010 owners need not to get personal about us panning this release.....foamposite fans have
ALWAYS been hardcore rabid fans....we know da product we invest in, and a lot of foamposite
Fans aren't even sneaker fans...they just like da fact that these shoes are built like tanks, aren't
On every douchebagg thinking they fresh, da fanfare was something authentic.....so if we see
That they're made cheaper this time around we don't want this to be a trend. Da only time it happened
Was when da flightposites retroed, & when nike dropped da silver foam pros twice and da second release
Looked cheaper........

I was one of the few first who said the 10's are nothing compared to 09's and people were saying why and then i explained and now mostly everybody saying this now if you didnt get the 09's from last year and dont want to spend over retail then get the 10's i would but dont get it twisted they might look the same but if you really know what you are looking for you can see the differences and also for the people getting mad about all these restocks and that nike is over flooding the market sounds like your mad that you cant make profit like you used to what happen to buying kicks because you want them not making a job of reselling peoples priortys about shoes are mixed up o well about time people who really want the shoes dont have to pay resellers price
