Love love love this pair!! I originally bought them a while back ago because I got a steal on em, and ended up selling em off my feet for a good price. Still regretted it, so once they dropped again these were a must cop. People are worried about the price but these are actually worth it for the comfort, quality and wearablility.
One of the best shoes ever made stands the test of time. I dig all the different colorways but that first royal blue pair set the sneakerworld on fire.
It is true that is a feature of foamposit, they do contour your foot as you wear them and the double stacks zoom unit in the back with the full length zoom unit throughout. It breaks in to be one of the greatest comfort shoes of all time.
I was lucky enough to cop these on the SNKRS app. Much better than fees and worrying about authenticity from the resale sites / apps. I am a longtime fan of Foams , such an innovative design and insanely durable. I had the OG Royal Foams in '97 as a kid (cool uncle who used to take my to Knicks' games got them for my b-day that year) and been a fan of Foams ever since. The Eggplants def in my top 2 or 3 all-time favorite Foams' colorways. Eggplant Foams to me the perfect blend of a statement sneaker but also subtle enough for the everyday rotation as well. So even with the retail prices getting ridiculous on Foams had to go for them.
I might have to move to your area. Because they didn't sit out here. The eggplants sell a little slower than the other 2 colorways you mentioned. But only in smaller sizes. But i've consistently taken L's on all 3 of those pairs. Especially the "OG"s. And I don't pay resellers a dime. I'll get them eventually though
@@adamani08 that year I put aside funds for all the foam releases and I just walked into my cities mall every release sometimes a few days after and they were just sitting there. Foams are a hard sell up here ( New Hampshire)
Got these , 2 pairs of triple black , (one is used for work and basketball) and just got the orewoods today , 2024 been good , all local pick ups . Being on the west coast for foamposites is so beneficial, no one out here fw them like that
If I’m gunna complain when you give Jordan 4 a 6 out of 10 … I gotta give props on going back to the real world . That EP Foamposite is sooo good , agree 10 is the score . I use Armor all occasionally on the 2 pairs ( pro & penny ) I have , it softens them up . Taking that Rock hard feel out of them ..
SUPER DOPE…I was able to cop these easily from a local shop…living in DC these are like a must have…the royal pair are supposedly dropping on my birthday which will be a no brainer cop for me and the coppers I think are my favorite
I hit on the SNKRS app and still have them on ice. I'm waiting to get a confirmation on if the Royals are dropping this year, because lately I've been hearing news of the Copper's dropping paying homage as a special DMV edition.🤔
Rarely heard Mr Foamer talk so passionately about a shoe before! Happy for you that you copped. Beautiful shoe. Great episode. Keep up the good work, guys!
I love futuristic design (no matter when it’s originally from), especially on a sneaker! Hope to someday be able to get a pair of foams. Definitely an investment.
This was my first pair of foamposites. I had them handed to me at a NDS condition and it was the 2010 pair. But I had to cop just for the simple fact this was my first pair and my first time ever buying a pair. Flames in person !
how you felt over the eggplants i felt over the metallic reds had to cop them. if they put that syth leather instead of the nubuck on the eggplants ida copped em too since purple my favorite color
I agree with foamer 100%. These are sooo fire. I had to pay resell too. Definitely worth it. I rarely wear a shoe right away, but as soon as I got these I had to throw them on. Absolutely beautiful shoe imo..
We go up to the snow once a year and the royals have never let me down. I've always wanted the eggplants but never bought them until yesterday got them off stock x under retail. Royals and eggplants remain amongst the best imo. Still waiting for a half cent release!
Respectfully Tim Duncan’s (Total Foamposite Max) by far best snow sneaker. Clear outsoles on foamposite ones age faster when you wear in snow or rain. Other wise it’s a first runner up.
I spent too much on a handful of sneakers back a few years ago that I will only buy from resale if the price is under retail after all taxes and shipping and fees are included. So like the metallic jordan 1 low 85 I got for 131 bucks all said and done. Retail is 160 bucks
I thought my royals were the only ones that had a production issue, but yours does too. There are very small indentations, which is practically unnoticeable to the naked eye, but if you really examine the shoe you can tell. pause the video @1:48 right upper shoe , you can tell what I mean if you zoom in. But hey , for such a premium price everything should be flawless.
Absolutely love this shoe!!! $240 is a lot of bread so I was forced to choose between these and the Galaxys that are gonna drop in a few months. Even though the Eggplants are 🔥🔥🔥 I gotta go for my grails.
I am shocked that they were not more.. Nike Raised prices across the board.. They have been right around 240 for the longest after being priced at 225 for longer.. See if i can find me a pair for retail.. I do have to give it to NIKE for the quality in the Foams. Best quality sneaker in their line in my opinion
i get rid of my Penny collection since I berly wore them, but blue Foams had to stay. My favourite basketball sneaker ever (lookwise, cause they not that comfy)
I had the og pair I wore sz 7 I had to save up for them first sneaker to be 180 i remember seeing these I. Slam magazine with Mike bibby was to be his pair but they give it to penny and the foam eggplant came out twice first time 2009 when I cop and re releases 2010 cuz of high damand great video bro
I bought a pair of the white Gucci’s several years ago and was disappointed how uncomfortable Foams are. Maybe worn them three times. Shame, because it’s one of the best colorways on the shoe.
It looked like a shoe that was ahead of its time back in the 90s and the way it was constructed was interesting with the polyurethane shell. Also it can be a comfortable shoe once you break them in.
I think you need the nostalgia to enjoy these. No offence if you like them but they have to be the ugliest shoes ever created. I’ve never seen a pair being worn or for sale in the UK. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, I’m a big fan of Yeezy 380s so what do I know.

Foams are coming back and Jordan heads hate it
The Paranorman Foamposites with the glowing green sole. 👌 chefs kiss
I still remember foamer’s review of those back in the day. Crazy how long ago that was now
One of the best shoes ever made stands the test of time. I dig all the different colorways but that first royal blue pair set the sneakerworld on fire.
Funny how foams can be worn over and over still look crispy compared to a Jordan 11

Shoutouts to 2017 when the royals, egg plants and coppers all sat on shelves with zero hype. My bank account died that year

@peterwoodaman5936 bet! New Hampshire huh. Might have to think of moving. City life weighing me down. Good for you guys though. A bit harder for me.
Still not a lot of hype. They been dead for a minute
ha. RIP account
Picked up the triple black pair, its gonna be an amazing pair to beat up and I don’t have to worry about yellowing.

I've missed out in every foamposite. I even grabbed a Penny PE from stockx that I had to return due to damage 😢
I hit on the SNKRS app and still have them on ice. I'm waiting to get a confirmation on if the Royals are dropping this year, because lately I've been hearing news of the Copper's dropping paying homage as a special DMV edition.🤔
Man I love this egg plants color way these things are amazing and I know they will last through anything Tanks!
Nice video, and review. dope hoodie. Shout out to all the elite sneaker heads out there that rock Foamposites.
Peace to all, and stay safe.
Dope review. These were a must cop for me as well. Nike needs to stop playing and give us the OG black Penny 2s
This!!!
I already got those in my closet in mint condition!😆👍
Still my fav show all time . I missed these but I’m gonna try to catch them on stock X soon 💯

Greatest sneaker silhouette of all time! No question!
Just received my stone cold tees and just straight fire 🔥
Thx a thousand. The foams for me will always be a gym shoe I wear all of them to ball.
Been wanting these for over 20 years. This is the year, this has to be the year….

Royal blue was the sneaker that got me into the game. Never forget that commercial with the royal blue foams just slowly spinning on the turntable
10/10 got my pair for retail next is the royal and galaxy if they come out
Was a must for me too this year 👍🏾
The Pilot Talk 2 CD and eggplant foams on the table. This guy knows ball
Love these, great content as always. Salute
i get rid of my Penny collection since I berly wore them, but blue Foams had to stay. My favourite basketball sneaker ever (lookwise, cause they not that comfy)
I’ve been waiting for this review!!!!!
music was nice for this one
Buckets give me a word "beyond excited".... the word youre looking for is "Elated"...
I had the og pair I wore sz 7 I had to save up for them first sneaker to be 180 i remember seeing these I.

wow, those must be some heavy boats in Foamer's size haha
Contrary to beliefs. Foams are very comfortable. IMO
I still got my pair from the first release. Still in good condition. Foamposites last forever.
Definitely one of the dopest sneakers ever, but also one of the most uncomfortable sneakers ever!!! 😩😩😩
Just got mine for $315 size 14 did i get a steal for my size or no?
Man I saw the jordan 4 review that Buckets did and idk why you guys don't take turns on videos. He seems pretty cool too.
Almost every single day 👍🏼
Id get these but ima wait for the galaxy foams
Always wanted one since the OGs came out...maybe now it's the time...
For the life of me, I can’t figure out why Nike hasn’t re-release the Nike Foamposite holographic!!!! Man those are so dope!!!
WE NEED A LIFE TEST ON THESE!
Yes! Would love to see how these age over time!
@@Kwamikaze88idk why the shoe won’t get dirty fr foams are indestructible
@@D1C-22 fair enough. I’ve never owned a pair of foams so I’m just curious.
🤔 U couldn’t cop the
Dark Neon Royals?
“And when the Foamer reviews the Foams, the Foams also review the Foamer” - Don Henley, Three 6 Mafia, 1872
What’s so special about them that people like? Honestly just wondering
It looked like a shoe that was ahead of its time back in the 90s and the way it was constructed was interesting with the polyurethane shell. Also it can be a comfortable shoe once you break them in.
Can't stand the way the laces go damn near to the tip of the toes. I could never do foams myself personally. They look good on other people though.
They should have put the nike check on it. I need that night check. I don't like deposits without the check
Shout out to the people that are deperate enough to buy shoes for resale....😂😂😂😂😂
these beautiful
Pilot talk 3 goat album
i just want the pearls to redrop with the royals and i will be done with my foam collection
Pearls resell ain’t crazy..
That beat is dope . What is it?
I like them but not copping them
Always had been an amazing looking shoe but unfortunately it's also very uncomfortable to me
Damn so that's where the name came from.... I've wondered many times
C😂an we get a "foamposite phone number" Civilized T..??
Not even close to every single day
watsup wit the motorboat at the end of your videos? lmao

Good
I need these and can’t find them anywhere near me

Copying carhartt with the hoodie. Or is it a collab?
❤❤❤❤❤
For the algo
I’m in the minority, but these are awful. Never liked these, the shape and lacing is so weird.
No thanks on ANY FP. 👎🏻
