Why does it bother people so much?
If you like them buy them, if you don't then hush up and keep it moving.

Instead of putting out a whole lot of one color, they are releasing a limited amount of a different color every 2 months. If Royals are selling out in 2 days, obviously Nike would be leaving a lot of profits on the table. Having a new release 2 months later allows them to make the sales to people that couldn't buy the last release.

[Nate Dogg] "HOLD UP!"
Slim, back in 1996 - 00. You bought ONE pair of foams, you were damn near set for life.
These days, you really kinda have to double up on FOAMS now. So quality of these joints now (in comparison to the past) is about same par as JB for real in comparison.
Forced to accept the "cratters" and "bullet wounds" on foams.
Foams were one smooth piece that molded on your foot after while. Go to a club, change a tire, caught in the snow... Aint matter. Wipe and go.
Now, you can't even have the edge of your front door hit them without them splitting (referring to pic posted here recently).
Old pair of foams would have had a small scratch, and kept it pushing...
Expect the rainbow bright colors to continue next 8 quarters...
This man speaks the truth

Honestly, if it was heat every single release it'd be all good. Imagine if this were the Jordan '11 lineup minus Orions, XI IE, Patent 5s and all other wastes of materials.
Jan - Cements
Feb - Playoffs
March - Bourdeauxs
April - True Blues
May - Cardinals
June - Grape/Laney
July - Metallic 5
August - Blk Cement
Sept - Wh/Red and Indiglo
Oct - Last Shots
Nov - Obsidians
Dec - Concords
That's a VERY solid list to me. Heat for every single month, maybe 11 or 10 depending on personal preference. If they did the same thing with Foams it wouldn't be a big deal. Just release em about every 6 weeks.
Jan - Royals
Feb - BHM Pro
March - Pewters
May - Electric Pro
June - White Penny PE
August - "Mets" One
Oct - "Yankee" Pro
Nov - Space Jam Pro
Dec - Metallic Red One
As long as you don't have filler, I don't see an issue, but that's just me...

Are you making up some of these foams listed above? Because I've never read or heard of half of them.

I think it will slow down. You think Nike cares about the "wow", "exclusive" and "special" status? $!$+ No. They are a cash cow and nothing more.

I think the hype will die down, where I stay you still don't see people in Foams like that and all my boys REFUSE to drop $200 on a sneaker, Nike is mos def milking the Foam cash cow for all its worth though.
My thing is Foams will NEVER lose that "wow" factor for me because I LOVE FOAMS, I have since I first asked my mom for a pair when I could finally wear men's sz. shoes and she looked at me like "IS YOU CRAZY?" Its the memories that makes the Foams "WOW" and the same goes with other kicks I buy. If they come out with a color I'm not feelin ( i. e. Electric Green Pro's) I just don't cop simple as that. I never bought kicks to try to impress others because the Average person wouldn't care if I was rockin nikes or skechers the only people who care are the Sneaker Heads and you guys will respect HEAT or a clean shoe regardless of its rarity! Most importantly I cop and rock sneakers that make me want to look down at my feet as I walk not worried about what's in front of me and that bring back memories of my childhood or of a favorite moment in sports history or certain players. So will the madness continue of course it will but just like pokemon cards and yo-yo's it will die down. And it will be that point where we beg for more Foams so lets not forget what made us fall in love with sneakers in the first place. If you cats are really spending as much money as you do to impress people that don't care then I feel sorry for you! END RANT
