Nike is really gonna release a "sharpie" Foam. Wow man. Just give us the damn Royals again and the people who pretend to give a damn about that meaningless game Penny wore those in can draw on them. What a waste of a classic CW.

There's no advantage to giving out 2 shoes they know people want. It's better for them to stick you with a new model.

If that's the case then Nike wouldn't make limited shoes. That GOF pack was MAKING people buy those XX9s, Brazil pake MADE people buy that CP trash. Yeah they could give you 2 shoes that would sell on their own but whats the point? It makes more sense to push another model on you that you probably wouldn't buy on your own and hope that you like it enough to try something else. They know it's gonna sell anyway so they might as well stick you with some crap.

Not really feeling the Foams. Nike running out of ideas. Pretty excited for the Penny 6 though. So will buy the pack.

Those "sharpie" foams are trash... And it looked dumb when penny did it.

While this is true, it looks a lot more off than the Golds and the Gone Fishing...
Idk, maybe it's just me.

I want the sharpies but I can't do the 500 dollar pack. I will just wait it out to get the Sharpies by themselves

I feel the same way, but only if I can get them at 250 range which I highly doubt.

Im in, the more i look at them penny's the more i like em...the sharpies, like i posted earlier, are flames, im going in for this pack..i dont mind the $500 price tag..its for 2 pairs of dope *** kicks imo. Even if i wanted the sharpies seperately, id be paying close to that anyways resell value so i might as well go for it.

That pack is dope.
My chances of getting my hands on it are slim are best so I'm not stressing over it.

NIKE trying to fleece us as usual. The price point is shameful for what you are getting.

How funny and ironic 
Last years pack I Wanted shooting star foams and had no interest in lil penny, I'm actually really digging the 6 this pack and not really feeling the foam, I know the idea is somewhat OG inspired with the story and all so to speak, but colored lines don't belong on foams, just as some prints don't.

I think most of you do not understand, why this shoes has vertical black stripes.
The foamposite as it released back in 97 for retail, was the same shoe that the Arizona Wildcats wore, that is why it is referred to as the Mike Bibby/ Wildcats shoe. In that same year they won the final four.
Penny on the other hand did not wear that exact same version, since it was banned by the NBA. He wore the version with the vertical black stripes. There is a picture of the actual shoe that he wore in the 97 playoffs in the Orlando Magic store at Amway center. I have never been there, but I guess they have a memorabilia section there.
The upcoming release is basically an homage to this and even more is close to the actual shoe that Penny wore back then. It is like the Air Jordan shoe that was banned and still released, not sure which one that was, might have been the AJ1.
I do not know the specific reason, why Penny wore this shoe during the All-Star game in New York, I just know that in 97 he played one game at MSG with these foams, so it might be his appreciation or something similar.
So to sum it up, this is some history finally releasing. If you are only hunting for royal foams and are not somebody who is interested in the history, then I recommend you not buying this pack. This is for the true Penny fans and collectors!

^ A lot of us know the backstory on the foamposite. It has been covered since pics of the "Sharpies" surfaced
I dont hate the pack. Ill more than likely try to grab a pack, try to at least. I want to sell my Lil Penny SS, at least I'll probably wear the Penny 6. It doesn't look bad

It was PENNY'S shoe. Even the ones that Bibby wore had a cent logo. Never knew Mike Bibby's personal logo is a 1 cent sign. Foamposite Bibby/Wildcats hahaha. Bibby may of wore them first, but clearly if they have Penny's logo on them they are his. Anyone who referred to them as Wildcats Foams is obviously confused. So Penny had to put sharpie lines to avoid fines (no clue why Nike didn't just pay them) both are technically his shoe.
