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.
Nah he didn’t pass on them. Penny saw them during a meeting at his home and he wasn’t supposed to see em, then he swooped in to take them for himself. That’s what happened.
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
@@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!!!
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
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 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.
These always been my favorite. Along with the Pine Green, chromeposite, blue mirror and the 2021 all star’s are sick too! I really wish they would do the Pine Green’s again!
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
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 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.
@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.
Eggplants and Royal are the only Foamposit One's that i've ever got & Foamposite Pro Pearls.... all the weird colorways have made these shoe over-saturated. I have the eggplants and royals (2024 version) will get the pearls if they drop too!
@@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
Foamposites need to be placed in the vault for 10 years and allow people to miss em. The issue is Nike dropped so many shitty colorways it killed the hype... The only 2 are still bang are the Pearls and Copper
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.🥹🔥🔥

I love how you shouted out the DMV, the posite scene was something else in the 2010s

I’m from PG and we’ve been rocking them before 2010
@@LifewithDimeji well clearly nigga foams came out in 1997, I was speaking on the different types of posite material shoes that were out at the time.
@@LifewithDimeji I’m from Alexandria. You already know
Electric greens coppers pewters electric blues eggplants and pearls if you had dese in PG you was smashin all the baddies 😂

That may be correct for certain places, but I've known them to be popular since their original release in the 90s. @@AreWhyAyeInn
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

I still have my 2017 pair that I’ve worn a handful of times and still look brand new
Same
what about the soles?
Likewise
Me too.. I had to do a reglue but they are crispy
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.

Scottie kept fucking up his bag 😂
Poor Scottie can't catch a break 😂😂😂
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.🤞🏾
Them pearls man 🔥🔥

That Nautica shirt tough. I've just bought some vintage 90's Nautica myself.
Anyone know what joggers those are at 12:00 ?

Eggplant foams definitely my favorite shoe out of all shoes. I have every year pair so far . Im going to get this pair to
Thanks for giving us the DC/MV our flowers for these gems we definitely made these a Statement of our culture 💯 much appreciated

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%
Foams been tuff. I grew up in GA and the good colorways were always popular
I’m finna single handed bring back foams
Top tier visuals Tony 💯🔥 These are cleannnn
thank u bro

Classic colorway! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
My third favorite Foam ever behind the OG Royal and the Shooting Star pair.
Definitely a cop for me bro thanks for the video 💯
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’m from the DMV. Of course I’m copping a pair
The all white penny pe’s went crazy too
I like them but another 240 on a pair of shoes is tough on the wallet.
I've heard that the shoe was designed for Pippen but Penny saw them first and ran with it before Pippen had a chance
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
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
Still got mine from last release. Wear them every so often now
What’s size are the shoes? And do they run small? Looking forward to buying them on payday and good video bro🔥🤞🏽
I had the same thoughts on Virgil doing something w these 😢
All my foams are still icey no need to grab any new ones just yet
I’m more of tennis shoe guy but damn these are pretty nice definitely going to have to cop A pair you made them look good bro

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
Great review 🫡💯
Always wanted a pair of eggplant foams but idk how I feel paying 240
Been that way forever lmao nothing new 🤷

They they 3rd official Penny shoe. The 4th if you count the flights.
I need those pearlized pink foamposite ones its been years since those rerelased
Got mine early for below retail, great time to be a sneaker head.
They switched to the leather on the red metallics instead of the nubuck could have contributed to them sitting
Sheeeeeeeesh 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 and your assessment of the Pippen thing was correct
Foams my fav 🔥almost indestructible
Eggplants, royals and coppers are ones that I will buy on every release.
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!
DMV STAND UP!!!!!!!! Foams back
Man i want them to re release those pine green pros
i bought a pair brand new recently still nice
Them galaxies 🌌 are coming back out also
I need em. Only foam I've ever wanted.
DMV New balances and Foams were a staple
We need the cough drop foams back very underrated
Man I see you with the Eddie Win Nautica shirt, cool that you support other UA-camr love his video look books.
Offwhite foam seems dope, they’d be a complete hit, or complete miss, no in between
Eggplants and Royal are the only Foamposit One's that i've ever got & Foamposite Pro Pearls.... all the weird colorways have made these shoe over-saturated. I have the eggplants and royals (2024 version) will get the pearls if they drop too!
S/o to the Eddie Win collection!!! I see you rockin
I'm going for the Royal Blue Foamposite, have to pass on these
Got mine last Friday 🤓🔥🔥🔥 love em
Size up .5?

The Doernbecher Foams last year as well...
NE DC, in the building.
I must have these, but i never got lucky on the drop date of a pair yet
Heard these are limited quantities... hope i can cop!!
Why no mention of the white pups last year 🤔....🤦🏾♂️they go crazy 💯🔥
I want them to ball in honestly. I want to see how they perform.
Foams are a great shoe. That full shank that springs, that poly outer...😚🤌
Been tryna get my foam collection back but now I’m a sz8.5 .. should I go tts or go sz9 ??
Maybe if they made more pairs instead of playing exclusive with foams they probably come back.
Doged my 2017 pair I’m tight didn’t hit today Ima get em when the price drop in a week or 2 😒
How are these on sizing ? They fit how the old foams fit ? Or they run bigger now or smaller
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
Foamposites need to be placed in the vault for 10 years and allow people to miss em. The issue is Nike dropped so many shitty colorways it killed the hype...
The only 2 are still bang are the Pearls and Copper
Jus copped mine off a raffle can’t wait for them to get here
I still haven't finished paying for my 2017 eggplants 😂
If i wear a 12 in Jordans what size should i get in these??

Those flights in black and white are jkidds
35 and up shoe and that’s cool🤷🏾♂️
Man a Off White Foamposite would have been crazy🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Green goblin got me into these
I was able to hit on these. Need the coppers now.
Need a rerelease of the coppers 🔥
Hell yea copping tomorrow
Word? How?
Heard u should go up a half size?
Where you get them early in Atlanta TD2Wyle
I don’t think foamposites were necessarily anyones official signature shoe I thought pippen or penny just wore them one day
I just finished my pair 2018 pair off
DMV salute ✊️
Didnt like these backnin the days. Now they looking kinda fresh to me.
Penny wore the zoom flight 96. J.Kidd wore the flight 95
I live in Japan and these have been out for about two weeks or so here, and there sitting
They only mess with air max heavy out there though
Tony don't
Rock stack jeans 😂
