80's born, 90's raised here. Yes, Nike made The Foams originally for Scottie, but he passed on them and went with The 96 Uptempo with The Big AIR on the side. Penny was eventually rewarded The Foamposite as his signature silhouette.
Originators if you ask me I remember when ppl from other areas used to say Foams looked like moon boots 😂 Then everyone hopped on when Wale got popular
Foams didn’t die everyone is either a hype beast or a reseller if not both so if the shoe isn’t hyped up people don’t wanna em… I bought mine early from goat $282 with shipping probably could’ve got em cheaper if I waited but if and when Nike drop the galaxy foams everyone gonna be a fan watch $800-$900 shoe 🤦🏾♂️‼️
I'm glad Hypebeast don't like them, I'ma DMV nigga so I can hit eBay and get a NIB pair under $250 in practically any colorway except like the galaxies or Paranormal
Facts, I'm glad the foams still live on and the "hype" has died down because seeing everyone with the same shit on everyday is corny and annoying. The triple black foams are still available at some retailers which means the tru seasoned sneakerheads can eat in peace without dealing with resellers. No noise/hype for foams now mean the resellers don't have any victims willing to pay that resell price for an already expensive shoe. No hypebeasts = No resellers....in the past whenever you missed out on a shoe you wanted, you would simply move on. We wasn't desperate to the point of paying at least an extra $100 just to buy a shoe
@@kevinmorganjr2423 got mine a couple days ago and 1/2 size up was the right decision. I don’t have a wide foot but long toes 😂😂. A 11, my size, would’ve been a stretch and not as comfortable as a 11.5
Just copped a pair of royal blue 1/2 cents for 180 Deadstock!! Cant beat it! I want them all black and electric greens too but yea we need a rerelease of them ASAP!!!
I highly recommend these for any sneaker head. These shoes hold up so well. Hands down my most comfortable. I have these and the blue 💙 cobalt pro with the Nike swoosh. I just get excited every time I wear mine. They're not cheap but unless you're dragging your feet these will hold up well.
The foamposite has always been a great shoe. I like what they did with this model. I personally never owned a pair myself, but I do eventually want to get myself my 1st pair ever. Thanks for the review and on feet Tony👟👏🏽.
I used to be a big fan of foams, they butchered them so much I hated it and also became a hood shoe. But its nice to see them re release. thanks for this vid
I said this before about the anthracites, these new foams are different from 2010. Those felt like bricks, heavy and were big as hell. These new ones are comfortable to the point I didn’t even put in my daily insoles, they’ve definitely revamped these shoes
I still have my 2017 release in good condition, sole slightly yellowed but tons of life. I still wanna get my hands on the Black Anthracites, Penny pulled off those white dreams with the matching socks i think on sneaker shopping, i wouldn't cop cuz the price point, they too high now, Nike may as well drop the TOTAL FOAMPOSITE
I remember getting the black penny 2’s for Xmas the year they came out. I wanted them so bad as they looked amazing to me. Then after those I ended up getting the OG blue foams as my school shoes. Had to pay half since they were so expensive for my mom. Everyone used to laugh at my foams that didn’t know what they were, saying I was wearing astronaut shoes or moon shoes lol. I didn’t care I loved em haha.
@@TXsolesupply yup but I do have the black dream a world in my exact size and they fit way better than in the past. You can get away with true to size foams in today’s time. Just gotta break them in. After a day or two you’ll be good
love em wanted them for ever foams just any comfy anymore for more than a few hours wear. :( feel like i need to buy them just to put them in a case lmao
@ToNYD2WiLD I believe your right. "96" or "97". The carbon fiber is from the AJ 11's. Isn't this Penny's first shoe? I never liked the short toe on foams.
Mike Bibby was the 1st player to wear the Royal foams in College. I hit on SNKRS today for a size 11. The numbers were 9,000 all sizes combined. First time owning these bad boys.🥹🔥🔥
Another banger Tony. Yeah these were made for Pippen. Then he turned them down. But these are def a must have for the collection. Good luck for all the big feet’s out there these will be a problem for sizes 10 and up and they will sell out I stamp that !!!
People complaining about the price but was paying 230+ for Yeezys. Hypocrites
And these were $230 7 years ago so $240 no is nothing considering Nike could’ve charged more.

S/O to DMV folks!! Made me a believers years ago!!
And idk about TTS Tony, I’m going 1/2 size up to be safe
We need those 1/2 cents to come back!!
Idk if you’ve worn a new pair but they’re not small
Definitely 1/2 size up if wide foot ! Got the Recent Black ones best move ever was to do 1/2 size up

what about the soles?
Likewise
Me too.. I had to do a reglue but they are crispy
I been watching your videos for years I’m talking about back in 2014 days , best on foot reviews for 10 years straight 💪🏾💯
Definitely a cop for me bro thanks for the video 💯
Top tier visuals Tony 💯🔥 These are cleannnn
thank u bro
Sheeeeeeeesh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and your assessment of the Pippen thing was correct
Classic colorway! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm still rocking with foams, especially on rainy days. My 2017 pair is still icy, so there is no need to cop these. Waiting for the pearl pro.🤞🏾
Thanks for giving us the DC/MV our flowers for these gems we definitely made these a Statement of our culture 💯 much appreciated
That Nautica shirt tough. I've just bought some vintage 90's Nautica myself.
Eggplant foams definitely my favorite shoe out of all shoes. I have every year pair so far . Im going to get this pair to
Foams been tuff. I grew up in GA and the good colorways were always popular

How are these on sizing ? They fit how the old foams fit ? Or they run bigger now or smaller
S/o to the Eddie Win collection!!! I see you rockin
Foams my fav 🔥almost indestructible
Will be my first foams ever man this colorway with the structure of the show is just so visually stimulating, damn…
Foams are gas definitely cop if you can. Never crease most durable shoe
Still got mine from last release. Wear them every so often now
Hell yea copping tomorrow
Word? How?
Heard u should go up a half size?
Got mine early for below retail, great time to be a sneaker head.
Jus copped mine off a raffle can’t wait for them to get here
🔥🔥🔥🚒
Man I see you with the Eddie Win Nautica shirt, cool that you support other UA-camr love his video look books.
They dropped his black/white PE last year too. I thought they were 🔥🔥🔥
NE DC, in the building.
You got a solid point when you said you wish this was one of the shoes Virgil got to work on.
Why so he can add a distressed look and all of a sudden these cost $500+ in resell so most people won’t be able to cop just let them be
He really made me think about it and now I’m sick we won’t ever get it
@@kevinmorganjr2423 100%

The all white penny pe’s went crazy too
Foams are a great shoe. That full shank that springs, that poly outer...😚🤌
I need those pearlized pink foamposite ones its been years since those rerelased
Where you get them early in Atlanta TD2Wyle
The Doernbecher Foams last year as well...
Green goblin got me into these
love em wanted them for ever foams just any comfy anymore for more than a few hours wear. :( feel like i need to buy them just to put them in a case lmao
DMV STAND UP!!!!!!!! Foams back
Why no mention of the white pups last year 🤔....🤦🏾♂️they go crazy 💯🔥
Heard these are limited quantities... hope i can cop!!
I like them but another 240 on a pair of shoes is tough on the wallet.
We need the cough drop foams back very underrated
These are fucking fire ! I need em
I had the same thoughts on Virgil doing something w these 😢
I just finished my pair 2018 pair off
I was able to hit on these. Need the coppers now.
If i wear a 12 in Jordans what size should i get in these??
legendary
@ToNYD2WiLD I believe your right. "96" or "97". The carbon fiber is from the AJ 11's. Isn't this Penny's first shoe? I never liked the short toe on foams.
They they 3rd official Penny shoe. The 4th if you count the flights.
Eggplants, royals and coppers are ones that I will buy on every release.
Them galaxies 🌌 are coming back out also
I need em. Only foam I've ever wanted.
I want them to ball in honestly. I want to see how they perform.
Need a rerelease of the coppers 🔥
If they come out with the Nike Air Pro Camouflage Foams ima go crazy
They too lazy to do sumn like that these days lol
They switched to the leather on the red metallics instead of the nubuck could have contributed to them sitting
I've heard that the shoe was designed for Pippen but Penny saw them first and ran with it before Pippen had a chance
All my foams are still icey no need to grab any new ones just yet
Man these one of my fav foams but 240 is absurd
Not for foams
200+ for any Jordan retro is absurd. Idc if it’s a Travis, Off white, on white whatever. All those be hyped
Foams always been expensive since I was a kid
I still haven't finished paying for my 2017 eggplants 😂
Couldn't afford them last time they dropped, instant cop this time around
The inflation doesn't take into account that they're using the same molds from day 1 so depreciated out, and pure profit for 17 years
Anyone know what joggers those are at 12:00 ?
Man a Off White Foamposite would have been crazy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man i want them to re release those pine green pros
i bought a pair brand new recently still nice
Offwhite foam seems dope, they’d be a complete hit, or complete miss, no in between

$240 not bad been waiting for these eggplants
I'm going for the Royal Blue Foamposite, have to pass on these
35 and up shoe and that’s cool🤷🏾♂️
penny 5s my favvvvvv
Maybe if they made more pairs instead of playing exclusive with foams they probably come back.
These are beautiful, but $240… I can’t.
Hopefully I can cop at a discount
Man me too. I can’t convince myself to spend that kuch
Good luck bc them joints sold out in seconds smh.. I definitely caught an L today

Soo fresh
The price is what kills me😂
God damn an off white foam would have been 🔥
Tony don't
Rock stack jeans 😂
Foams sell out in one day quietly. I would definitely buy a pair if i didnt already own like 50 pairs of shoes. Ive never owned a pair of foamposites.
Foamposites are a unique shoe both aesthically and in use, I’d definitely recommend this colorway!
