3. quantity - spots that got these got a million. much more than the electrolimes
4. nike is playing foams out. i know around here, u wear foams, u get 0 love. u wear special KDs, Brons and you break some necks.
I generally flip a few pairs here and there but i definitely knew to stay away from these. i just grabbed pairs for people i usually deal with. they were cool enough to toss me $20 - $40 each which made my pair stupid cheap.
and dude that said NY is the foam capital ---- shame on you
and dude that cited finishline didnt get them so they arent a GR... finishline never gets foams. the 1 time they did, it was the 09 eggplants. these are definitely a GR in every since of the word.
You say that if you wear foams around here, you get no love? That might be right if you throw on some joints that just dropped, ie these Gym Greens because everyone will be wearing the same colorway. But if you throw on a colorway that released a lil while ago, heads will turn. Not that it really matters, I'm just sayin.
I wear older foams from time to time but many don't have a clue as to what they are. Wore my volts a few times and a couple of kids just asked when they drop. It's a side effect of wearing a hype shoe these days. People don't the history that comes with them.
my mans wore them red pros when the metallic red ones dropped and a bunch of people thought they were the same shoes.
