sorry but your way off. a lot of regions were NOT on foams like that back in the day. thats the reason why certain areas are alotted significantly more pairs during releases.

1. learn to multi quote or the edit feature. you have like 5 posts on this one page alone
2. i havent contributed to the DMV argument. ive left it alone. but its common knowledge that foams were popular in DMV/NY area for years whether they were Foamposite Ones Pros Max or Flightposites. NY is more of the fashion capitol where they wear trendy stuff and rock their uptowns. Bmore is really big on New Balances (tho I dont like them at all). West Coast is really have on SBs and what not.
So yea, demographics do make a difference.

I'd put them bums on blast if I were you! SMH. It's crazy how NY dudes don't want to give credit to the DMV for being the pioneers of this Foam thing. Another this they don't give us credit for is being the pioneers of this Nike Boot thing. My older brother was wearing ACG Nike boots in the late 80's! the colorful one, can''t remember the exact name but we did that back then while NY cats were wearing Timbs, LOL! By the way we did that too in the DMV (i.e. Super Timbs). What yall know about them ,lol!

for sure someone will take a pick posing with a bottle of pepto bismol and rocking some camo shorts..
these and the bananas coming down the street at the same time will be a sight to see. LMAO>
LMAO. I'm still in-between not liking these cause they're pink, or grabbing them as breast cancer awareness editions just for the sake of fam and friends' fam lost to breast cancer, or have lived through the fight. Then again... dont think proceeds go to any foundation of sorts.

These shoes don't have anything to do with breast cancer...they are just pink, and the proceeds goes straight to Nike's pocket..lol

Nah, I didn't move to VA until I was 17. When I was a kid in Manhattan on the lower east side, a lot of the older kids were calling them the dope dealers. I don't know if DC was calling them at that time but I know mad people in my school and on my block called them the dope dealers.

Man, these were called 'dopes' in Baltimore when I was younger... I saw a few dudes when I was around 8-9 with the OG foam ones. Somebody already stated why they were called dopes.
As for where the term originated, I won't argue that since I'm not sure but I can say that foams are still being called dopes in Baltimore to this day.

Must've taken a few dopes to come up with a dopey nickname like 'dopes'.

Yup. Cuz they were $200 and "only the dope boys could afford em" back then. They started out callin em "Dope Dealers" and then it just became dopes.

Ok. I've lived in NYC my entire life, and nobody in my circles ever called them that.
I don't even remember young people referring to drug dealers as "dope dealers" or drugs as "dope." I mean, the people who said that stuff were like 40 years old. Not saying you're full of it, just that such was not the case in Queens.
