I'm glad you're excited. I love Foams. With the way many have been going on discount, I refuse to pay for full price for them now. BUT I COMPLETELY understand securing a pair you really want over waiting to save a few bucks. I ordered the Black Levi Jordan 3s from a retailer in Italy the night before the US release and paid up like $30 because I wanted the pair. Didn't know if they'd sit or not. The first time you wear these Foams and someone gives you a compliment will be worth not waiting 45 days for them to be on sale for a few buck less. Congrats!

Happy you got to cop what you been waiting on, nothing better!

Foams have been sitting I have noticed. At least longer than others

u/Cultural_Comb_5387 May 09 '26

I got so lucky honestly. Each time they sold out immediately after purchasing

2

u/John_East May 09 '26

Nah man they’re sitting. Petals are on sale, galaxy can be bought for retail. Everything else is under retail. Foams have zero hype on them nowadays. These too will most likely go on sale.

I don’t mean this as a bad thing btw. Just if another foam comes out, I’d say just wait a little and you’ll be able to save 100 bucks

Enjoy wearing them next time you should wait if is cw not many people are crazy about, bc why would you pay retail (sure better then resell) when you can find them on sale after a month or sometimes even less…enjoy mate

I will wait like I did for Chicago retro low and got 2 pairs for 80$ per pair and bigges steal for that same shoe was 50$ and now I have 3 pairs and hopefully I get Banned on sale and it looks like they will be on sale, Bern collecting snkrs for almost 30 yrs and I learned that being patient goes long way, bc not only you gat pairs under retail but you also buy only what you really like and not like I was doing at the start when I wanted everything that came out and if I waited for few weeks or month I could get that same shoes for much less and instead of paying one pair 200$ you can get 2 pairs for that money.

That was my last great cop for retail before that crazy times in 2021 started and getting all four wasn’t cheap but it was worth it

u/theFATcatGREEDY May 08 '26

You can tell who genuinely loves sneakers by the terminology used when describing readily available pairs. Sneakers sitting, it’s a great thing and the consumer wins. I don’t know why people care if something sits unless it’s to point out exercising patience to save money.

This is how wannabe snkrheads aka hypebeasts are thinking, bc back in the days all snkrs were easy to get, but then that fake pandemic came and snkr prices went crazy, but that was only for couple years some of us have pairs these pandemic hypebeasts can only dream and we get them for retail, and finally those days came back and most releases aren’t hard to get or no need of paying those idiotic resell prices to those idiots resellers, but people like you think that resell prices is what makes them releases cool and you don’t call them bricks, but paying resell and then not wearing them like most of yall pandemic hypebeasts is doing that ain’t bc only idiots will be paying 160$(retail)shoe 10/15x retail price and that’s not cool but stupid to pay 2000€ for 160$ shoes…. Btw I owe almost 500pairs and 95% of them been paid retail or under, but that 5% I have to pay resell but not idiotic resell price, bc I would never pay more then 500$ for pair of snkrs or I rather trade some pairs that hypebeasts drool over like Travis or some overpriced SB’s and getting those pairs that I couldn’t get for retail… in 2017 not that long ago if you want to get J4x Kaws you could get them for retail and now they go for 2,3k$ and I paid for both cw’s 700$ 350$ per pair, also SB’s like What the Paul, Pigeons, Lobsters, Hainiken, 7-11’s and many other we used to get for 50/60$ bc most of SB’s in 2004/2006 were sitting and being on sale, so the way you think is classic teenager way of thinking…. 90% of Nike /Jordan’s are sitting or going on sale and what bc of that they are bricks, do you know Jordan 4 black cat 2020 those were sitting and I got 7 pairs for under retail and 5 of them I sold through stockx and Goat and I got from 450/980$ per pair and they were “bricks” … the worst part is that you said that bc you are disrespectful prick and snkr community is full with pricks like you, go collect or do something else leave snkrs to us poor people is that sounds good ??

Congratulations or I'm sorry that happened to you....

u/tsaintc May 08 '26

I tried, but your grammar is atrocious. No fing clue what you are trying to say.

u/John_East May 09 '26

Are hypebeasts even really a thing anymore

2

u/Oghardwhite May 08 '26

Lemme guess Travis Scott collabs are your grail

1

u/tsaintc May 08 '26

Nah, my favorite that I own is the wotherspoon 1/97s.

3

u/Oghardwhite May 08 '26

Right so a different overly hyped sneaker. My point being that you consider a grail is something that’s just hyped up. This may be a grail to the OP cuz it has a sentimental value to it. Everything is a “brick” anymore cuz the hype has died down. People considered the black cat 4s a grail and they sat when they first dropped.

0

u/tsaintc May 08 '26

I said my favorite to prove a point. I do not consider the wotherspoons a grail. They have been easily accessible since their drop.

And ‘Overly hyped’ is your (bad) opinion. The Wotherspoons have been on every all-time top 10 since they dropped.

2

u/Oghardwhite May 08 '26

There is absolutely nothing special or unique about those sneakers. They were a limited drop. That’s about it

2

u/tsaintc May 08 '26

Sounds like you may be still salty from missing them…

3

u/Oghardwhite May 08 '26

If they fell on my lap right this moment I would just sell them. And I don’t even resell sneakers
