i think the list could use some work. just my opinion though. 
few things that bothered me. 

1. you guys left out some killers.

2. the explanations for some were

. "Ultimately the demand and selling price for these went down causing us to leave it out of our top 10."  

 .

3. royal pros over volt pros? really? 

NT needs to make a list.

passing on pewters cause they "trash," but u copped electric greens and don't see how any1 could pass, huh??

to each their own, i guess

as for me, i just stumbled upon these today outta nowhere and i couldn't come up with any good reason to pass so...

 

[witnesskb24]

NT needs to make a list. 

1. Only one's I can think of are white duncans, HOH Pearls & Army joints, and the carbon fiber flights (even though it is technically carbon fiber in the upper and not foam). We didn't include samples and the electric greens were our cut off point.

2. I think the 2010 release of the eggplant's definitely hurt their overall appeal. If we did two separate entries for the 2010 and 2009 the 2009 version would definitely be higher on the list.

3. Although volts are more sought after right now, if both were to get retro'd at the same time the royals would do better.

 

[nycposite]

yea that list is a lil iffy. you need 02 pearls, blk gum bottom pros, armys, jkidd flight, vip flight just to name a few

1. a lot of the original releases of retros that made the list are, in some cases, completely different shoes. the pearl foams are #2 on the list(they're my top5 too), and the caption says they're of He Got Game fame, but the picture is of the recent champagne foam/icey blue sole release. My dude Jesus Shuttlesworth wasn't wearing champagne colored pros in He Got Game. that's what i mean. the differences between them pretty much make them completely different colorways.
and the CF FP1s are not actual CF. they are foam. i'm 100% positive.

2. word. that's exactly what i mean with point #1 except i wasn't talking about value so much. what i originally meant was that it's weird when it says the purple 1 was snubbed out of the top 10 because of it's value, but then there's no mention of value for the #8(i think) ranked silver pros, which sat at my local outlet(which never gets anything) for 88$ out the door.

3. cool. i just thought it was weird to use value to determine the position for some and not others. don't really agree that value should be a factor in judging though. nike could put royal foam ones on Target shelves across america for $49.99 a pair. and while i'd be a little salty that i spent retail for them in the past,  they'd still be a tough shoe. 

sorry for the wall of text, i got bored. and it's no negativity, just honest criticism my dude. good work with the site. 

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

Whenever someone makes a list like this they are always bound to miss a few things. (Take a look at the NiceKicks top 15 Foamposite list:x)

In terms of a ranks, the list was produced in tiers. For example 25-15 are Foams I consider bottom tier, such as they were notable foamposites but a level or two below the heavyweights. It was a coin flip between a few, arguably we could have thrown in cactus foams, black duncans, brown/beige duncans and certain flights into the mix but we chose to show more variety for those who aren't hardcore sneaker heads and allow them to see that there are foamposites out there besides the pro's and ones.

Now the top tier 14-1 is what we felt were Foam's you absolutely should have in a foamposite collection. The rankings were decided taking into consideration the prestige of each shoe, how they would do if they were generally released at this moment, the hype the shoe had/has and the current value of owning a pair (Ex: OG, Retro, Re-Retro Average). Again some models were definitely left out like the white duncans and carbons (which yes I know is really a foamposite upper) but measure them up against the top 14 and I think they could have fit in somewhere between 14-8 but the same would be said about the shoe we would be replacing.

Again, feedback both positive and negative is appreciated. It will alow us to better improve our future lists which what we want to do is have the most accurate list out there.)

 

[villansfinest]

my top 25 no particular order

obf fp2
gold navy fp2
red white fp2
blue white fp2

white black blue sole fp1
white black red sole fp1
gold fp1
navy white fp2

dr doom pro

black black foam force 1

i am not lying to you i have the sole collector spread of eddie cabrera and that other guy with their posite collections hanging on my wall. my heart beats mostly for pre 2002 flights.

never realy cared for foam pro's like penny's, coppers, etc. half cents are an abomination. i respect ultra's but they hurt my feet too much. haven't tried the skyposite, but only like the carbon cw. signature players are disgusting. foamposite lite's never did it for me (thought they'd look better with a lace cover.)
EDIT:
(and we're not even counting pe's...)

should we?

are the og silver/ photo blue duncans wearable?

I own a pair and besides the paint chipping they definitely are if your air bubble is in tact.

KINGOFNY, nice job on your list of foams.
NYCPOSITE, your pick last page left me lusting man. I hate you and admire you ato the same time. Lol

 

[thesaltycracker]

After mainly buying Jordans, I have my first pair of Foams on the way.  I was wondering if the clear sole on the Coppers yellow at the same rate as the clear sole on most of the new Jordan brand releases or is it a better quality? Thanks in advance.

 

[ksteezy]

CEE - you make those carolinas look sooooo appealing bro...

My small collection, sold off all my OGs a few years back...working my way back up
