I love the banter between Chris and Jody at the end! My gift to someone that was sort of a gift to myself was a pair of custom Jordan 1 lows for my dad. He turns 73 in 12 days and has never worn Jordans, but would always comment on how cool my various pairs looked. Since he's a big golf fan, I got him a pair of AJ1 lows customized to have the Masters logo on them last Christmas. I just wanted to share in my obsession with my dad. He hardly ever wears them since he doesn't want to mess up the paint, but I hope he enjoys them as much as I enjoyed ordering them for him.
Feels good to see the love the foams are getting here lately and feels even better to be able to cop them easily. Glad the younger ppl are stuck on the runner trend for now
ive never owned a pair and its been my holy grail. never had jordan 11s until a couple years back but these are just always out of reach. 90s kid here so definitely a shoe that was a want
These Coppers take me back, waaaay back, back into time…. to when there were two of em. One copper with the translucent sole and the Gold black sole edition which were nice but they didn’t have that “zing” if ygwim . Dope review and backstory to this classic silhouette 👑✅
@@ErnaMcburna I got them when they dropped on 2017 a half size down. Been waiting to get the correct size and couldn’t get them when they got rereleased. I was pissed. Eggplants are my favorite color way.
When a shoe doesn't sell as quickly as Nike expects, they fake it selling out. They do this to create a false sense of scarcity, hoping to capitalize on the consumers FOMO when they drop again at a later date
Nike does fake sellouts on shoes that don't sell as quickly as expected. I think they do this create a false sense of high demand, hoping to capitalize on the buyers FOMO when they re-release them in the near future
Never had a pair of foams. Couldn’t get past the price. But the more you explain the more I understand the price. I’d like to try some out. QOTD is especially funny I do that not only in the holidays but year round. My people know they are getting shoes.
Coppers are a CLASSIC .. Also im a sole premise customer & those bags are CLUTCH & although a bit clunky its straps are comfortable and the bag is light & durable.
@@WearTesters ok I have did some fact tracing pipen wore the pearls in 1997 I couldn't find any pictures but penny also wore the pearl Foamposite for the 1996 / 1997 season
Man I remember these dropped my senior year of high school and I was just getting interested in sneakers. Everybody was rocking foams in the Bay back then crazy time
DC in the building and we’re loving the 2024 foam drops. Just need the Galaxies and Pewters. Hit on the Eggplants, Metallic Reds, Player PE’s, Royals and Royals. Good Year.
Foamposites if you ain't got em then you penny loafing! Coppers are in my top 3 colorways behind Royals and Eggplants! DMV shall always be mentioned with foams. These are a must! They need to retro the pearls again
Cop mine yesterday from FTL ❤❤❤completed the trifecta!! Egg plants, Royals, Coppers 👌🏾last one for the yr are the Seattle SB’s dropping Sat 🤞🏾hopefully I hit on them
Growing up in DC seeing the OG’s rockin the Coppers especially in the summer, not just these but foams in general…it’s like a status of class you had with these 🔥 I’d hear people say, if you had foams on yo feet you’d bag girls in em especially if you can put it both together w a clean fit. I would call them the “360 sneaks “ because of the waves on em and the Xenomorphs (because of its shape to me).
When this shoe dropped I worked at Nike. The employee store was getting them and at time you had to get a wrist band. We waited from 8am to 3pm that’s when they handed out bands, only 6 of stood online for the shoes and the old manger did not want to hand bands out before 3, so 3 rolls around and they tell us the shoes will not arrive on time but they will get our badge number phone number and email and contact us, it took 2 fu*king weeks for us to get a call lol and purchase the shoes lol anyways that’s my release story. 9:44
I love giving gifts. My philosophy which was passed on to me from my pops was: 'If you are gonna give gift, you care enough about the person to do so, so treat them like how you treat yourself.' Essentially put as much effort or care into the gift as you would want someone to gift you. Also helps being the only sneakerhead in the group so I'm a lot of people's yearly sneaker refresh when I can't think of anything else
These one of the only sneakers I've wanted and glad to have them! I only have 3 pairs total of Foamposites but I've got some dope ones, the latest blue ones, these copper and the iridescent holographic ones!!
Another dope video. Thank you both for some more great content. Was able to buy a pair. Really ❤ this colorway. Thank you all again! Side note… it was hilarious when you said “Cool… high five me.” 🤣
This is the colorway that made me fall in love with foamposites! Wish I bought a pair when I was still studying, just to be able to compare to one that I can get now. Thanks for the review! And I guess answer to the question, a lot of the 'gifts' i give my girlfriend would be more on food? And of course I benefit as well since she would offer me some most of the time so as you say, it's a gift that keeps on giving haha
Sac-town, I'm sure y'all got a lot of love for Bibby. Enjoy the vids, keep it up. I just copped the coppers yesterday. Only my 2nd foams after getting the promo royals. Need those galaxy's when they rerelease in a few months!
QOTD: A trip, for me and my girlfriend. And for me. I’m checking in earlier than usual today from the DMV, and right on time our weather is awful here today: the high is in the 30s with winds over 30mph, and a wind chill under 20. Foamposite Ones would’ve been very comfortable for running errands today (but the new Jordan 3s did well enough). Once broken in, Foam Ones are such a great pair to play in, as long as you have extra socks to combat the hotbox effect. Thanks for the review! Double thumbs up for the shoutout for the area (and one more if you know how to pronounce “area” in the area). See you again soon!
*I randomly decided btw late last year- march of this year to buy the royal, eggplant and the coppers from 2016 & 17 on ebay only to find out later on that all 3 color ways were retroing later in the year lol but I'm just glad to own em and have in the collection. They are absolute tanks!!*
Man, I wish I had a reason to go for these, foamposites look so cool and unique! Not sure I’d have the style to pull them off though, but the comfort and structure seem like just what I want from a bulky looking sneaker.
I ask people what they want or a list for Christmas, and I purposely avoid buying those items, so I can pick something that is more heartfelt and a surprise based on rememebering details from conversations throughout the year. Gift giving is my only resemblance of a super power.
Growing up in Baltimore, we called them dope dealers , because they were so expensive only ( you know the rest ) but we use to wear them and the Tim Duncans , miss those days
I know they were always expensive but $230 plus tax is unacceptable. Rather wait for them to get forgotten about again and buy them on eBay for the low
So fire. I saw a dude at the barber shop with a foam posite that was a pink/purple Camo with a white swoosh had never seen those I asked him if he did them himself but he said he bought em like that. They were dope
Second favorite colorway….maybe first. If only money grew on trees…😮💨. I’m like Chris with gift giving. Want it to be a surprise and something they actually want. Couple years ago I put a pair of lightning 4’s in a question 3 box for the bro. Almost had a heart attack 😂. His face turned from what I imagine Jodie’s face if she got a pair of question 3’s for Christmas, to almost rear ending the car in front of you in traffic 😱.
I remember trying these in a House of Hoops like 15 years ago. And I was surprised of how much of tank they are… maybe with the newish Foamposite they are better but I couldn’t wear these for a day. And I’m a big guy. Still, I love the silhouette and still stop myself from buying a pair. LOL
I'm in my more sneakers than I can wear phase but I geek out when I see foams in the wild. My son inherited my OG Royals in good condition. He trashed them. I'm still in shock. Ha!
QOTD: I wanted a minivelo (a small sized bicycle) and I told my partner I bought it as it fits her so we can ride bikes together. But in the first few months, I was the only one using it more than my full size bike that she questioned me if it was even for her. 😂😂😂 She now enjoys riding it with our dog in the front basket. Lol. Whenever I think of buying a bike that may fit her she always brings up this purchase 😂😂
The bottoms of this pair are not icy translucent like every edition that came before it. That’s a no go for me. I can’t get over that. I’ll keep rocking the 2017 pair
Favorite foams easily. I wanted to get these, but every shop in my area just doesnt carry foams. I had gotten another 09 pair to reglue a year ago (demolished my old pair) but the person on ebay labeled them wrong as a 10.5, they popped up & were size 10. Even without the insoles they just crush my feet
My first pair of brand new foam posites , can I count on these to be rereleased or do I need to take care of them? Asking for when I get nostalgia for them
Man I don’t live in the dmv area those folks out there got the dmv cherry foams man I was gonna send my girl out there to get them I 😢missed out on those and this are the closest looking to the dmv so am definitely getting these but I would prefer dmv😢
Finally got enough to buy them 10 years later😂
Exactly 😭
Don't feel bad homie.. you ain't the only one 🙋🏾♂️
on gawd felt the same way 💀💀💀
I'm still on my way... Maybe 3 more years
Exactly same here

We got the Eggplant,Royal AND Copper foams this year let that sink in 🤯 I bought all 3 thank God!
I feel lucky to get two of the three, couldn't get the royals for retail!!!
Still have my egg plants from 2017 and they still look good and picked the other 2 up this year happy to add them to my collection
Galaxies are coming out in March.
I missed the eggplants got the Royal and the coppers are on the way

It’s been a hell of a year for foams
And I’m loving it eggplants,royals,copper all in one year o what a time to be a sneaker head
I love when you guys pull back the curtain on your lives. You two are really perfect for each other!
@@wkffchameleons facts they’re wholesome asl lol
They were expensive but I missed em in high school. So glad to have them now 💯
I got the Copper foamposite for myself as an early birthday present. 💯👟 DMV STAND UP
Happy early birthday!
Thanks
Must have for the collection and Foamposite Friday only channel
Coppers are a CLASSIC .. Also im a sole premise customer & those bags are CLUTCH & although a bit clunky its straps are comfortable and the bag is light & durable.

If you can find an image we’d love to see it.
@@WearTesters ok I will try to find it

These are starting to dry up everywhere, glad I got mine😌💯
Man I remember these dropped my senior year of high school and I was just getting interested in sneakers. Everybody was rocking foams in the Bay back then crazy time
Just bit the bullet and doubled up on shoe palace for $30 under retail. Too fire
These are on sale at shoe palace can’t even believe it what a time to be alive
I got the last 10.5 royals on sale from there for 169 😊 i got lucky
Fomies for the homies! Couldn’t afford them in 1997 so I grab as many as possible. Looking forward to the pine greens and pearls next year!

This might be random but there is no way in hell we should be paying damn near Foamposite prices for Jordan 4s!
And people complain more about how it's not justified foams for than they do Jordan's smh
No Jordans should be that expensive, especially 11s

Columbia 11s for me.

Awesome review as always. 🔥🔥🔥
Haven’t done that when gifting someone.

No, Chris buys 2. One for him and one for his son.

Finally got my pair and still have the Flightposites too
Beautiful shoe
Getting the kids a basketball goal for Christmas was 100% a gift for myself as well 😂
Powerful performance package! These are so dope, just can’t justify the cost. 😮
I just brought mines yesterday
Looks like there’s little-to-no foam in the midsole & mostly zoom air (plus the shank). I like.
10:47 check mate
DMV !!!
I prefer the blue tint bottoms honestly. It’s a crispier look
Hopefully the Pewters and the Pine Greens Come out next 🤞🏽
These are beautiful
I don’t know why but for the air54 kinda resembles the pro strong in a way well looking at it from the side
as a dad, I bought my son the Nintendo Switch and the games but I know I'll be playing them before he does lol
I missed the release Wednesday and I still have the Copper Flightposites though.

I’m getting the galaxy colourway next year…finger crossed
I chose the KD xmas 4s over these for wallet purposes
Since the Flightposites borrow colorways from the Foams. I wonder would they ever do a foam in the original green Flightposite colorway
