i agree with aceboogie on this... they NEED to drop this shoe more often simply because the soles (ice) dont hold up well over time... it (andeggplants) are the 2 shoes i own that keep me thirsty for replacementsOriginally Posted by sloanboy

i love clear/translucent soles, it's a staple of the design of this shoe but to say every single one should have that is a bit much.
we all know the cactus and blk/red foam ones should have been translucent the way the samples were cause the color of the sole wouldn't have changed asdrastically as the ice soles do.
nonetheless....the released versions are still dope as hell and a lot of people are going to be happy with them in years to come when they look almost the sameas they did when they first laced 'em up.
at first i was a bit disappointed with the solid soles but there was no way that was stopping me from buying them. i did wait for the sale pricestho...
the coppers are a sick shoe with a clear sole, and that's whats coming out so don't think they would even think about making a change to them this latein production because of a few opinions of the black sole ps. i just think it can still be a sick shoe with a black sole, and that's just my opinion comingfrom the plan i have to buy two pairs and swap one out with a black pair....nike won't do it, not yet at least, so i will.
heck...put a copper sole on 'em and i'd probably still love it....it doesn't matter to me because I'll get any of the foams in any colorway aslong as they are clean.

nah...for the way i wear foams, i definitely prefer solid.
there's nothing piff about pissy royals or eggplants...it adds more age to the shoe than necessary.

Ninjahood- you're absolutely right. If you look at some of the old buy sell post around 2007 the royals sold for under $200. It's crazy to see whatthey go for.

id say hes partially right...
the black/cactus and black/reds still sell for below retail...
but some of the older ones that didnt used to do that well are selling for much more.
royals def rose in price... but no one is really paying OD amounts for them that i know of...
