Due to demand.
Yes - hyped "grail" foams, not a single damn person daily wears... you might as well go into a retro 4 thread and say "well Eminem 4's still resell well."
Make those a GR foam and they wouldn't do much better. Look at Oregon's - Release day dudes were asking OD $1,000+

GR foams never sell for much more than retail until they become scarce.

Bingo.
No GR release Foamposite is selling out. And they haven't for close to 5 years. Not sure which demographic some of you are using to determine when a foam shoe sells out. Because they really don't unless they have some hyped up limited tag attached to them.

We took the time to provide GR examples and you still ignored it for some reason.
Show me where the Carolina, gone fishing, USA, gold, black yeezy, Aqua, hologram foams are sitting.

USA foams sold out release day online - they lingered in stores for maybe a few days, but dried up fast.
Most foams are easily obtainable now if you put in the effort and hit the stores release day, at least in NY - I know the D.C. DMV area's are different. Possibly that's what he means by "sell out." That's kinda how I took it.
Gone fishing foams defiantly grew on me, kinda wish I picked up a pair - and I regret selling my VNDS Fighter Jets, which yellowed after like one wear. I thought the details and concept of the FJ foams was dope, must have taken them out of the box everyday after the release to oogle at them lol

Are you saying they sit like animal thug is saying or adding to my comment?

Neither - 90% of foams certainly don't "sit." I'm just making the point that depending on the area, and shoe - availability varies, and the time spent on shelf. I assumed Animal Thug meant release day sell out, online and in store.

I doubt he meant release date sell out considering. You have to follow his foam bashing posts in here.

Why don't you just get the correct size instead of getting small shoes and taking the insoles out?

Okay size police
It's up and down with foams for me. Some fit big and some don't. My marroons fit different from my royals I'm a 14 and they fit to big so I can't get 13.5 so I go 13 and most of them fit good plus I hate when there's a bunch of room in the front

Hoping to get some insight from the folks here on NT. I have an offer on the table to trade my pair of 2016 space jam 11s, 2017 all Star 1s, and vachetta tan foams and $80 for a pair of white ovo 12s. All shoes involved are deadstock, is this a good deal?
