These are using 15 year old technology man...they're meant for casual wear at best, not for strenuous activity such as basketball.

They were built for basketball use 15 years ago and did fine. Technology has advanced but this doesn't mean old technology can't still do the trick. It's not like these are built like chucks

So you're saying quality of craftsmanship as well as materials hasn't changed in 15 years?
Current Foams are not BUILT for basketball, they're BUILT for casual wear.

Well UPS just left my door dropping off my pair from NDC
I was afraid to look them over
But I looked them over and just a few tiny glue spots and one or two long threads that need to be clipped

So after seeing how everyone is complaining about the quality of their foams, I decided to look at my pair again.. A small glue stain on the grey upper in mines smh, any advice on what to use to remove that? Doesn't really bother me but if I can remove then it don't hurt

the foamposite is an actual liquid material. these are just imperfections and air bubbles, exactly like how you see "fish eyes" in automotive paint work. its bound to happen

I'm aware what foams are made of...
Def not from air, it's probably some type of debris in the molds that leaves a dent when the shoe is forming.

Nah. If that were the case, all pairs in that size would have identical markings.

I didn't say dent, I said debris... Debris can fall out or be cleaned out of the mold.

My pewter foams came with a piece of shoe paper IN the sole. Between the sole and foam on toe.
Still there haha. Size of half a dime, but irritating none the less

Shoes look great. Except that the grey upper looks dirty...?

It's not. It was just the editing to the picture

The lighting makes it look dirty to. I looked them over good and there were a few small "dents" on the upper, but most foams do.

Good thing I got these. I would've regretted it if I passed up on them.

I can't tell if these soles are clear or blue trans. Held them up to my suns foams and they looked way more blue. Idk why they did the suns soles with the white underneath and these with the black. The black looks a million times better, they should have done both that way.
