5 Reason It's Impossible to Buy the Galaxy Foams at RetailIn case you didn’t notice, the SNEAKER WORLD has been going insane over the release of the Nike Galaxy Foamposites. It seems like people are willing to do ANYTHING just to have a pair in their possession. With tensions escalating, we even issued a “Stop Violence Over Sneakers” warning to raise awareness. With such a limited quantities of pairs available, it seems like getting a pair at the retail price is like winning the lotto. Unless you got a CIA or FBI connection, chances are, you WILL NOT be getting a pair of Galaxy Foamposites this weekend. Any our editors put together the following 5 reasons that you’re going to come back home empty handed from this release.

THE HYPE

THE HYPE

The HYPE around the Galaxy Faomposites has been one of the highest recorded buzz for a sneaker in the past decade. It is safe to say that the Galaxy Foams may well rank among the MOST sought after sneakers this decade. If you don’t believe us, here are some facts. The keywords “Galaxy Foams” has already started trending on twitter, 2 days before it’s release. They graced the FRONT COVER of the Daily News, one of New York city’s most read newspaper. The Galaxy Foamposite is one of the most anticipated Nike releases to date and it definitely surpasses the hype of any recent Air Jordan released, even the Concord 11s.

Slickster. To be honest, I am not happy to hear the news about other ppl are hurting each other over this pair of sneakers. I truly believe Nike company should make it affordable to society. This sought of price on a pair of sneakers is affordable for the riches. Not even for someone that's working a descent job.

this is sick wtf are they going to do that thats mess up

These Facts are 100% True !

you dumbasses want to know y there so expensive its because sneakerheads kep buyin them therefore nike keeps raisin price every year becuase they know ppl r guna buy them and they feel they are not losing any money.

My friend got em in school tho

hype beasts and resellers ruined the sneaker game- im getting out

Done with the game...people doing it for the wrong reasons

Nike is collecting all of.the articles, news, files.about this.release... they are proud lf this. ...

violence is DEAD for a sneakerhead!!!

COMPLETE BS. EVERYWHERE THE POLICE GOT INVOLVED THERE WAS A RIOT. THEY MADE PEOPLE RUSH THE LINE. AT SOUTHLAKE THE COPS WERE GOING TO MAKE EVERYONE WAIT OFF MALL PROPERTY IN CARS, THEN RUSH THE MALL FROM 50 ENTRANCES AND CAUSE A FRMOLITION DERBY OUTSIDE THE FOOD COURT. WE HAD TO EXAIN HOW DUMB OF AN IDEA THAT WAS. THE RIOTS ARE CAUSED BY IMPROPER PLANNING, NO DIFFERENT THAN A BLACK FRIDAY SALE. PEOPLE WERE ALREADY LINED UP CALMLY, BUT JUST LIKE ORLANDO, DUMB COPS EXPECT 3000 PEOPLE TO ORGANIZE THEMSELVES AT ONCE. PEOPLE HAD BEEN CAMPING FOR 5 DAYS, YOU THINK THEY ARE GOING TO LET THE PEOPLE WHO SHOWED UP THE LINE AHEAD OF THEM? DON'T BE OBTUSE!

thats why every body selling them lol

every body that want the galxay is crazy becuz some body is gunna take them off your feet its real for galxay

All five reasons hit my heart!!! I'm just a teen trying to get some shoes!!! I cant camp like some adults or irresponsible children. Why can't you make enough pairs for everyone? This goes to Jordan Brand too!! Cardinal 7's are on shelves all summer but I can't get my grail ( White/ Cement 4's) WHAAAAA??

There are many other sneaker brands out there, your life is not dependent on Nike Galaxys or 4s.

I will never know what it like to wear shoes, since i wear a size 16 D and shoes normally go to 13 or so. I mainly wear saddles or john deer steel toe boots.

They make some in your size too buddy :)

Nike needs to stop making limited amount of sneakers like seriously back in the days nobody had to wait online you could just walk in and walk out but now there making limited amounts. Wouldn't Nike make more money if they made more sneakers if people have the money they should just be able to go and pic up the shoes not wait on a long line or camp out. The Nike motto is Just do it but what they need to do is just make more sneakers and not a limited amount it makes no sense. Ive been a sneaker collector for a good amount of time and I manage to get my hands on the Concords but some people tried to sell them for $500 and up an I refused to pay that much. If Nike sees this message hopefully they take interest an make more sneakers. All this hype is making my shoe collection

Us sneakerheads should petition to get a general release

I was foreal tryna buy these for my bday on the 27th i planned this hella long ago... smh Nike really disappointed me

Great and Relevant article.

i bet jordan could beat the hype about these shoes all he gotta do is take the air jordan 11 retro, put foamposite where the pattened leather is and make the sole glow in the dark. now thats a release id prolly kill for, but not no ugly ass foamposite 1 not happenin........

It's like ridiculous man. Now I love shoes just as much as the next sneaker head. But buying them just to make a profit is messing it up for all the people who really are shoe collectors. Retail price is 220 and I'm seeing people sell em for 70k. Makes me sick. I wanted em but I don't want them that bad. I can buy myself a nice ass house with that type of money. And still have cash left over.

Nike's "super-limited" release allows people to hoard pair after pair, then sell them for outrageous prices, yes I would LOVE to have a pair (or more), but I don't think I could bring myself to spend +$3000 on shoes I would never wear anywhere for the fear of someone stealing them off my feet

but i agreed nike should let employes only buy shoes that are in stock NO exclusive releases. they can make 100 shoes as long as 100 customers get them....example nike makes 100 shoes customers get about 10 of those 100s. thats what they need to control EMPLOYEES cause they think they are the shit cause they got them before you..im sick of calling to find out what they have and they start with we have 22 in stock,a week later we have 18, a day later we have 14, and on release date they only 12 to 10. now thats bullshit. they should only be able to keep just ONE pair for that good employer the rest for customers....

fuck foams, 12 got them i was 19th in line. I copped all in my size and the lasts of the KD and lebrons, my 1st LBJames and they are SICK!!!... also spizikes"Italy Blue" wich i love so much. pimp ass shoe on white laces only!. when i only thought. i was going to be able to get just the Spizikes, somehow pulled the KDs out of now where, to end with the last lebrons left on my size. i bought jordans 1st had to go all the way back at the line for the kds, then back again to get the Lebrons. wish was a back stock that 4 sneaker heads didnt pick up.i got the last...i hustle hard today and very proud and happy with shoes that i dont feel bad for foams..dont complain about the hype to me is a drug and today i got high and im still high....LBJ,KD,Jordans

if u really wanted no Violence make general releases lots of pairs. this is just a make more money reseller scam for big business

i bet jordan could beat the hype about these shoes all he gotta do is take the air jordan 11 retro, put foamposite where the pattened leather is and make the sole glow in the dark. now thats a release id prolly kill for a pair ov those but not no ugly ass foamposite 1 not happenin........

Nike couldve made 60,000 sneakers and still sold them all out. They're a bunch of douchebags and its becoming impossible to collect sneakers these days because its a neccesity to camp outside stores to actually get a pair of sneakers with a nike or jordan logo. Fuck nike I think they actually enjoy fucking with people like this

Great, all the hype on this sneaker is gonna make it even harder for me to cop at least one pair of retro 4's this year. 2012 death of the shoe game.

You people are stupid if you think Nike is to blame. You have to remember Nike is a business, whether t hey released enough for everyone or a very limited amount, people would of still been overhyping the damn shoes. Don't blame Nike, blame this new wave of hypebeasts, going crazy over these shoes

bitch fuck you if niek released enough pairs and made it a 2 per person limit there would not be a 1 week campout neccesarry, the hypebeasts are to blame too but its mainly nikes fault, i mean cmon, 6000 pairs? wtf phil knight!!!

there's a pair on eBay going for 50 racks. WTF.

God said he would provide food, clothing, and guidance, and don't worry because he's knows what is best for you. It's a shame a company would have people going crazy about sneakers. When they should be guiding them to learn about GOD and HIS Awesome GRACE.

i was going to pay the resell price before i actually saw what these fucking asshole where asking for 1220-3000 really dude... shit i got it but im not paying that for some foamposite.. shit i already paid 3400 for a pair mags .... but that money went to charity.. this is going to some gay hypebeast and doesnt evrn know the story behinds foams let alone priceless sneakers..i love nike and jordan sneakers but im really getting tired of the bull shit... i have over 340 pair of sneakers and i wore every single one of them (espect the mags not yet), and know i think im going to stop supporting the maddness nike is causing.. just because its not even fun, you to get a great feeling when you walk to a local sneaker spot and at least tried on your kicks'' now its hurry up and buy (asian voice i thought that was funny)but now its dangerous just to get some j's and foams,, its a shame.. but im taking my stand today and im shutting it done.. "no kicks for me" wow this hurts.. the world just a lost old sneakerhead 15 years running... good bye

No don't do it D: .. There is so much left to love ! Don't commit sneaker life suicide pleaaase Call the hot line if you have to D:

This is really over the top if Nike was to just make more shoes it would not be a problem they put out a certain amount but overseas makers can make them all day have them make more shoes and they'll make more money or if they gone be so limited why announce it to the world the real Shoe heads should have to register to get limited releases and only be released to registered collectors but Nike and other shoes do it all on purpose to see how much media they can get on shoes along with killings beatings and who know what else I then got rid of plenty of shoes because of over prized shoes variants and remakes Nike Jordan and whoever else is just fn stupid guess everybody no.ey ain't good

Nike is a billion dollar industry and they can't even make enough of these to go around..on top of that they made these kicks sooo limited that you can only buy it at retail and stand in line for days!! (SMH)... And now they have the “Stop Violence Over Sneakers” warning to raise awareness?!?!?!! What a bunch of hypocrites! What do you expect from sneaker heads and hype beasts and resellers when you put sooo much hype on some kicks that are soooo limited and hard to get? peace and love? majority of those groups will clash and fight just to grab a pair!!! "Raise awareness to Stop Violence Over Sneakers" my ass!! All you nike corporate punks are probably getting a hard on knowing that people are going crazy over your limited products! Hypocrites!I'm not hating cause i didn't get a pair.. just upset that nike puts peoples lives in danger with the shit they pull! I myself is a sneaker head but not to the extreme where I put my ass in danger or miss a test or call in at work... unlike these kids now a days.. reckless and careless just to cop a pair!

thay real then if thats the case be real cuz i got the hook and that cant even hook me yo cum on .......whats goin in

there makin money off yall black butts!! if every person stands up and protest against nike then maybe they wont only give the store 200 pairs of shoes. wtf what can u do with 200 pairs of shoes shit more ppl come in the store then 200 ppl. PROTEST PROTEST PROTEST

well its a good thing i pre ordered mine on ebay for $900 you think il risk getting myself killed over sum retarded ass niggas no thank you i dont care about the dough i dropped for these shoes i just need em and now i got em soo yea bitches!!!!

you're the reason the game is fucked up willing to pay that much to a reseller when they got em for 220

im not a sneaker head at all but these shoes look nice. if anything. they should make some fives like this. that'll be hot.

I'm not a sneaker-head by far, but I like those shoes and I have the money to get them so I will.

This is why I retired as a sneakerhead. With reseller prices there is no point in this game anymore. Apparently you have to be Wale to get stuff like this now. Sneakers are like cocaine now, expensive, exclusive, and for the elite. I guess I'll have to rock Puma's and Vans and settle with my humble crack rock.

The shoe game will forever be ruined because of mess like this

Nike is on some bull for this they need to stop over hyping shoes and only putting like a thousand of em out between NYC nd da DMV area
