I don't know if it was me but for anyone who copped in NYC from footlocker on 34st , did you get bumrushed by workers at footlocker. I walked in and had a foamposite damn near shoved in my face .( didn't mind as long as u had my size ) . Them workers were going hard . It was a too easy purchase. I will admit they look a lil dull but I missed out last yr. No foams For me until the royals and I'm done .

they was already on sale before the hype started up again. I was pulling below retail on ebay pretty easy. sz 12-14 is the most unlikely though.

 

[edunpeal]

i bought these yesterday and now i want another pair

 iam still seeing my size in DTLR and Footlocker but iam debating wether to get these now or later

 i doubt they'll be around for longer

Lookin good, I noticed how in different angles of light hitting these they will change color. If you hold the shoe above you they almost turn black... Then go from dark purple, purple, to almost blueish... very nice.

u fools fail to see the significance of the mold not being as good. do u think it will get better? did any of u even see the flightposite 1 retros and how the grooves were almost non existent on some of them?
a foamposite is a work of art... nike is starting to mess up this masterpiece

cosign...the black flightposite ones were perfect imo but the grooves in the eggplants were non existent in places...what people dont realize is that the grooves in foams/flightposites are what makes the shoe what it is...the "grooves" r one of the most important parts of the shoe if u ask me...

 

[160jordansdeep]

did anyone take a good look at the foam material for the 2009 to the 2010

you will see the 2010 is a lot more flimsy then the 2009

I did the same thing with my eggplants, gave them a coating of seaglow after cleaning and wearing them yesterday.  I've never done this before and I've never heard of seaglow being used as a conditioner but it won't hurt anything if it doesn't work. 

Does anyone else have experience using seaglow in this manner?

I just think it's how Nike does.  They mess up a little bit at a time, like with the Neon 95's.  Then finally what you have is very different than what you originally had 10 years prior.

That's why now that Foams are a GR sneaker I'm worried, because now they changed factories(countries) to cut cost and handle demand.

went to another mall near me today to try n exchange my 10.5 for an 11 but they only had a 11.5 which i scooped and they fit nice

sidenote rocked my coppers to hooters last night and had mad heads comin up to me askin about the shoes

 

[ab doom]

^I agree!

 

[dgoins1]

When I picked up my eggs at a local ftl manager was telling me they sent him a email about possible copper restock

 

[ryun708]

I went past the 34th street FL yesterday afternoon adn they had the Coppers on the center display along with the eggplants.  That must be their 3rd or 4th re-stock.  Re-sellers are going to have to let the coppers go for retail or less just to move them.  Anybody else notice there aren't that many pictures or ten or more pairs of eggplants posted in this thread?  Re-sellers backed off on this one.

I also don't really see why microscoping the level of indentation on the foam portion is a deciding factor for which year's release looks better? It's an INDENTATION.

Maybe I'm way out of left field here...

Just my 2 cents.

c'mon man, stop playing dumb.....da 2010's feel wild lighter

The value of 2009 Eggplants is about to increase and im starting it if you want a pair of  DS 2009 varsity purple "eggplant" foamposites FROM ME it will cost you $399  

The only people that are mad are the people that paid $299 for the eggplants less than a year ago

＋1，hahahaha

+2

, and from those 2 pictures the 2010s are looking better



"johnmckoolaid" the 2010s are inferior to the 2009s
  
LOL @ FLIGHTCLUB

  

daaamnn yall N_s been bamboozled these should've been priced like a flightposite. Especially since the foamposite material is lighter and softer just like flightposite's

 

[spoiledfeet]

I never did like the gloss $&@% I ain't cop but saw em. IMO ... 2010 >> 2009

exactly.  the quality is fine...and this whole "shine" thing is a crack up.  it's just a way to get suckers to pay for overpriced '09's.  i prefer the icy blue soles of the '10's.

 

 

[junyajordan]

NO bull ^^ these are quite nice .. copped a pair for my self on discount and couple others for some NT peeps. OH and to whoever up there said possible re-stock of coppers. they might be getting it from another store who didnt really sell.


As for eggplants, there might also be another shipment from what i heard. not 100% sure i think only high volume stores who sold them will be getting them..

I am in the DMV so that may be another reason why since thats the shoe around here.
