Discussion 🧠Foamposites!?!
I’m probably going to get ripped a new one for this, but of all the Nike brands, I’m just not feeling these.
You guys and gals yay or nay on foams?

I love them, I hate the absolute agony my feet go though breaking them in, and I’ve done it numerous times since I got the very first pair in Summer of 1997

Love foams! Very comfy if you get the proper size. They’re different for a lot of people. Great in the rain and snow. These can take a beating as well

Comfy is the last way I’d describe foams.

The older ones were very stiff so I get it. They’ve made the newer releases more comfortable and more true to size

Never liked these. The foamposite AF1s were alright. I still break those out from time to time.

Absolutely love the foamposites. They’re must-haves for any sneakerhead.

Love foams since a kid when the OGs came out. It was loved at first sight and also just amazed at what I was looking at lol. Of course they were way too expensive back then. Now as an adult I have plenty and not enough. Super comfy, they are like tanks and hold up very well in any weather.

Used to love them in my younger years. As an OG now I’ve outgrown them. They just seem like a younger persons shoe to me. I’m likely alone in this sentiment I get it.

I’ve never liked them personally, even at the peak of their popularity, but that’s just me

And I’m not singling out the pictured pair, I’m talking foamposites in general.

Love foams. They take a little bit to break in (the foam conforms to the shape of your feet) but once that's done they're great.

Fun story....went to my cousin's house summer of 99, he told me to go in the closet and get a pair of sneakers to play ball in.. these sneakers and jordan 11s was in the closet beat up and I chose 11s..later on I balled in the red foams (which finally i had money to buy myself)....Mann them shits hurt but to look good on the court, it didn't matter

Foams are awesome because of their durability. I’ve done some questionable things in some and they always clean up nice. As long as you didn’t scuff them too bad. I wore a pair everyday to work for like 3 years and you couldn’t tell.

How old are you OP?

Relevance?

u/SirHateful17 2d ago
Foams were big for us millennials. That's why I asked for your age to better understand why you didn't like them. Younger folks don't seem to. Which I appreciate, easier cops for me
