Were the Eggplant Foams worthy of the hype?

[cedric ceballos 1995 lakers]

i finally got my pair the other day. there very nice and i like them, my only gripe is that the quality on the foam part doesn't seem as strong as on myroyals. i gotta find something to wear with them as well, but these will be getting lots of wears.

 

[lysolflow]

the purps go federal.... i like them better than the royals...

This topic is redundant, you even get six pages on a question like this.

So that answers the question

Ehh Hype will die down in a few years...you'll have a better chance to get them for lower then.

 

[hlu1]

I have to say the hype made these shoes impossible to get and $$

 

[emmanuelabor]

Im gonna scoop the eggplant Big Nikes...a much more wearble shoe IMO

 

[youngrizal]

Not true, the more limited they are they less likely you are able to get them for a good price. And being that they have icey soles, you need DS ones withclear soles. That will be more and more rare as time goes on. Unless you want to pay for yellow ones like with the royals, which are still more than retail. They will stay the same in price, if not go up.

 

[air sti]

yup. im thinking of getting another pair.

 

[sylvestermcgrizzly]

gonna go put my pair on once i get home to remind me of how

they are...need to get another pair of these and royals preferrably HoH's

 

[716kix]

huhh I miss my pair already!! Just sold em for 170, worn once.. smh

 

[bigboi415]

no it wasn't

 

[jumpersgalore]

i would love a pair but dont wanna spend $200 for them

 

[sosmoove]

Nice shoe, i just don't wear purple like that

 

[twig1026]

Yeah...they really worked out well

 

[botz luvz 23z]

QFT...Like a fine wine. It gets better with age.

 

[ab doom]

Glad I got my pair broke necks all 3 times I've rocked...shout to Proper for coming thru with my pair.

 

[emmanuelabor]

i doubt the price will go up. im pretty sure the prices have plateaued cause so many people bought doubles and so many wanna be resellers stocked up

 

[maza4ever14]

I kinda wanted them but then i thought i had the flightposites, dont need another "eggplant" shoe. plus the royals > any color

 

[kicks4all]

dunno why people love the foamsposites so much... they so plainjane cept for the kryptonites

You're entitled to your own opinion, but to me foams are both stylish and durable, I like how they don't crease.
