Pro-Electric Green Foamposites

The release has come and went for the Nike Pro-Electric green Foamposites. We were going to do the midnight release at Niketown 57th street on March 5th, but decided to just attend the launch at Atmos (a exclusive sneaker retailer) in Harlem. Upon arrival at Atmos, it was as though there was not a true demand for this color way. With the store not opening till 11 am, to see no line or anyone waiting at the gate till the store opened just seemed awkward. So much talk and speculation on this color way and no line!

            As I waited for the store to open I just so happen to run into a worker, whom is a salesperson at Foot Locker’s House Of Hoops. Which is also an exclusive sneaker release store, and he stated that they were open and still had pairs of these Foamposites. To my surprise as I walked to House Of Hoops, there was no line outside, no barricades, no anxious customers looking to be guaranteed these sneakers. So I walk into House Of House, and purchase a pair for myself and decided to do my very own review on the shoe to inform you on its style. As we see so many celebrities wearing exclusive sneakers before hand and rarely are those sneakers Foamposites but merely Jordan’s. Wale of Philadelphia, was spotted wearing a pair of yet to be released Foamposites which we will fill you in on soon.

As for these particular pair of Foams, they are definitely a color way that stands out from all the rest and finding something to match with them is like almost impossible. Many of us are already informed that Foamposite color ways are usually hard to match up with an outfit unless you surf online at urban clothing sites that carry the same matching color to go with the sneaker. You may think, well wouldn’t Nike carry something that matches with their sneaker releases? Yes you are correct, but like myself, and other collectors, most of us within the sneaker game know that if there is a matching outfit to go with the sneaker, then 9 out of 10 times a lot of people will have that same outfit on. It’s like going to the prom and 2 females have on the same exact dress, all though it stands out, it is not a comfortable feeling to look or  be dressed exactly like someone else.
