Perhaps a dumb question, but those OG foams aren't still wearable are they?

Perhaps a dumb question, but those OG foams aren't still wearable are they?
Not a dumb question at all.
If they weren’t DS, and had been getting consistent wears for the past 20 years, I would say yes. There are OG foam ones/pros still being worn today.
But since this pair is DS, the outsole is going to come off after 5 steps. That isn’t the worst of it though; it’s the carbon fiber shank plate underneath. Since it hasn’t had any pressure from wear ever, it will probably disintegrate and turn to dust.
Confirmation for anyone that's questioning the footage
Well I dunno, because I just went to Getty Images and got this...Those blue hits look photoshopped in. When you look at the original image and zoom in, you don’t see it.
Appreciate the info. So my follow up question is, how long do foams last unworn? For example, if I ever get lucky enough to grab a deadstock pair of the dark army or galaxy foams, are they still wearable?
asia at least gets the semi-cool foams
were stuck with navy/RED/ and GUM! oh and white liner for the **** of it!
up next.....some horrible print graphic or a butchered version of what we really want
It’s hard to say. Depends a lot on how they were stored, but all things being equal I would say DS Galaxy’s should be good to go (only 8 years old) but Dark Army’s is pushing IMO.
Besides; unless you happen to grab those shoes at super steal prices, you’re not going to want to run the risk of destroying those if they’re still DS after all these years.
Yes, but everyone in here knows they would find a way to F them up, they always try to add some extra gimmick that isn’t necessary.Nike needs to release these as well as the white home version! Both are ultra fire!
The Galaxy could return for the 10 year anniversary in 2022, which will also be the 25th anniversary of Foamposites. Expect big things that year.appreciate the info.

Glad i was able to get my hands on these
I don’t think it’s a matter of over saturation killing hype, I just think it’s a matter of Nike releasing ****ty colorway after ****ty colorway. If Nike started releasing better colorways and rereleased some previous classics, the hype would come back.The rugged orange is the first pair I’ve wanted in months. I’ll wait for deep discount though. I think they should stop production on the Foam for at least a year and a half and build hype back up. They started over saturating the market with trash Air More Uptempo color ways then stopped. 1 year later a rerelease of the OG black/white and Olympic colorways has ppl hype again
they should follow that formula with the foams
Yeah a lot of color ways are trash... but that hasn’t killed the hype on other Nike shoe models that have the same problem when they eventually do release a decent color way.I don’t think it’s a matter of over saturation killing hype, I just think it’s a matter of Nike releasing ****ty colorway after ****ty colorway. If Nike started releasing better colorways and rereleased some previous classics, the hype would come back.
