[@starzgonzales4358]

got my pair last week and i'm super stoked! im a 90s kid - this is my no.1 holy grail shoe in my list.

[@SirPierreSe]

So nice that you finally got them :)

[@goodtimesbeatz6718]

Man these Shoes where ahead of there time when they first Dropped years ago Super Classic 💙

[@SirPierreSe]

Oh yes, maybe even TO ahead of their time back then. I think they was "to much" for most people

[@TheDundeal]

Paid $193.76 for these in the 10th grade in 97....Penny was my favorite player

[@SirPierreSe]

So you are getting them this time again? ;)

[@pure-sole8167]

Talk about nostalgia 97’ was a great yr for kickz I remember Mike Bibby rocking them during the 97’ NCAA basketball championship game & I knew I had to cop them fast fwd to release date I could care less about the price & didn’t think twice about buying these I HAD to have them 💯 I still have my pair from 2017 & luckily hit on the shock drop yesterday..Penny was & still is one of my all time favorite players his signature line IMHO was just as dope as MJ’s 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@SirPierreSe]

Oh yes, and today must kids don't know about Penny at all... In the 90a i didn't care about Jordans, for me it was Shaq, Penny and Chris Webber :)

[@Decal0327]

Multiple designers for nike at that time where hitting it out the park. The talent has never been replaced. The basketball division sucks now.

[@SirPierreSe]

Yes. All new Basketball shoes now looks like the same lowtops shoes

[@trixxon357]

I brought my first blue pair in 1997. I paid 200$ back then.

[@SirPierreSe]

In US? So the price was maybe 180 + taxes?

[@rashaanlemell7974]

In the US they was 180 plus taxes came out to 192

[@rashaanlemell7974]

Im definitely copping a pair. Had the original in 97, then the black ones in 2007, wore them out. Copped the black ones again in 23. My favorite sneaker of ALL TIME

[@SirPierreSe]

Glad to hear :) you will like them :)

[@lifeisagambletv]

"Black ones in 2007" stealths and "again in 23" anthracites are 2 different foamposite kicks but both dope.

[@rashaanlemell7974]

@rashaanlemell7974 Ok :)

[@lifeisagambletv]

@rashaanlemell7974 oh so you weren't talking about stealths ok my bad I knew the stealths came out around that time as well and I never seen a retro of stealths

[@SirPierreSe]

Yes i was wrong about that :)

I still got my 2011 pair. It’s time for a reupholster

[@abdulaliakbar1175]

Where do you live? In the US, faomposits sells out immediately. I love the 90s! my favorite decade.

[@SirPierreSe]

I live in Sweden, nobody cares about Foamposite here, and Nike themself don't car to sell them in large sizes than 9.5.

[@abdulaliakbar1175]

@@SirPierreSe Sweden is a beautiful country. I just visited there last July.

[@realest242]

I literally bought a pair in Florida today royals

[@2resist2existinsta83]

You got to get the kobes 11 low space blk , there expensive about 1200-1500 us dollars., I have the aurora foams I bought in 2017 still haven't wore them . Nice collection though

[@SirPierreSe]

I very rarely wear low shoes :) but the sad thing is that I have never even got the chance to try a pair of Kobes, and i don't dare to order online because everyone says that they are very narrow. I even flew to New York from Sweden to ty to buy Kobes, but no there my size was the most popular one and sold out everywhere

[@imyanigmw]

I need these asap! 🔥🔥🔥

[@SirPierreSe]

2 more weeks then they drop :)

[@pattonPwr]

These are soooo dope 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@SirPierreSe]

Yes :) it's silly to like them more than others blue Foamposites, but i really do :)

[@patriot4life450]

Thats dope man

[@silentbutdeadly3466]

Still ain’t seen no one wearing foams in over 5 or 6 yrs . Don’t know why people buy but don’t wear

beautiful

[@markmayate8923]

Why is the leather on this release crusty? Really disappointing.

[@SirPierreSe]

Crusty leather? What do you mean?

[@SirPierreSe]

What leather are you even talking about?

[@markmayate8923]

The black suede on the upper. Comparing the soft, smooth, even texture of the previous releases. The suede on this one just feels rough, almost like there is a coating on it.

[@SirPierreSe]

@@markmayate8923 The latest 2 with leather are the unusual ones. This is the original way :)

[@markmayate8923]

@@SirPierreSe I'll have to check my originals. I just don't recall them being this way.

I don't understand the question. What about the Nike Zoom Air?

[@romain198426]

Should have been pros with black soles

Then they wouldn't have been these 97 retros
