Royal chromes are sick. It seems like foam hype has died off though, I don't think they'll be hard to get.

Hype is on colorways, not models unless it has Kanyes names attached to it... all they gotta do is make this pair limited and you'll see your hype again plus they'll already have residual hype from the All Stars.

Where in Mexico are these being sold? Is this deep in Mexico, or TJ? I'll go this weekend if its TJ area.

so you're saying if you wear the mirror foams and it doesn't touch anything, it'll just start peeling on its own? that's hard to believe, at least Nike gives you 2 years for a full refund due to defects

The problem is that the chrome skin comes off of the foam base. Flexing the shoe causes it to detach and peel off.

Naw that's not it. Who told you that?
The problem is when they get a scuff. It breaks the surface and starts the peeling.

Gotta disagree j... It's the flex of the shoe. The first guy that posted about flaking stated that he didn't scuff em, and they flaked all over the entire shoe. If you know the way chrome reacts on other materials, and how it's applied, the flex makes perfect sense.

Well regular foamposites don't just peel away when scuffed.
Think about it. The chrome is just a film on top of the foam base.

There's tons of flex in the entire shoe when wearing, it'll flake at the weakest points, maybe not exactly where there's pressure. Either way, his damage wasn't from impact/scuffs. Not trying to argue, you know me better than that. Just showing history that was shared here

i know that history bruh... 1 wear doesn't do that unless it was already defective.
the shoe isn't flexing at the ring toe area
