Foamposite Land Debate: DC vs NYC

Blue Nike Foamposite One

After reading the comments in the Wale x Nike Copper Foamposite post, I decided to make an official “Foamposite Land” debate post. The ongoing debate about who’s responsible for putting the Foamposite on the map can continue.

It all started when I said Wale was from “Foamposite land”, and I was only going off what I’ve heard for years about the DC area and their love for Foamposites. Wale himself even said in our interview at the 3:00 mark that in DC the Foamposite is the shoe of choice. However, the Foamposite land tagline started a rather interesting debate between DMV and NYC heads.

TSG has nothing but love for DMV and NYC. As a matter of fact, we love everybody! There’s nothing wrong with opinions, and that’s the purpose of the comments section. Perhaps everyone can find some closure about this topic. At the end of the day, rock Foamposites because you like them, and rock them well!

Hopefully, everyone can conduct themselves in a mature manner as this debate continues. People from DMV, NYC, and anyone else that wants to contribute to this debate, feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments.

    you know im from Cali not many people know about Foam’s up here or the masses think that they’re ugly…which i could care less cuz Foamposites are beautiful

    Penny put em on the map (Orlando Baby).
    Lately, only NYC reselling hypebeast F@Gs have been able to get their hands on them, so I’d probably say NYC should be coined foamposite land, but not for good reason F*CK HOH (Jealous FL. Boy)

    I do kno DC area folfs don’t call em foams, they got some funny nickname for em.

  6. Mike Bibby put the Foamposites on the map in the 1997 Final Four. He was the very 1st to rock ‘em, before everybody, even Penny himself. I’m sure he got them cuz he was the best player on the team that eventually won the title, and is a Nike sponsored school.
    Shit being the huge Arizona fan that I am made me cop just for this reason.

    So for who put them on the map, there ya go. Debate over…

  8. Comment by shoe Pheene October 30th, 2009 at 4:05 pm

    ok so I have lived in PG County Maryland and I’m from Brooklyn NYC. I would agree that D.C. and the surrounding Maryland area which PG County is the majority of from a culture standpoint is definitely Foamposite Land. The reason for this is GoGo culture especially there style of dress.

  9. Lets just put it like this yall, Foamposites are an EastCoats shoe point blank, From the North to the South, everyone on The East knows about this shoe.

  10. Comment by SOLErobot23 October 30th, 2009 at 4:13 pm

    because DMV got foams and acgs and 95’s from all the NY dudes that went OT!!!!!! lets be serious oly thing dmv started and kept to them selves is newbalance!

  12. Lets just put it like this yall, Foamposites are an EastCoast shoe point blank, From the North to the South, everyone on The East knows about this shoe.

  13. Don’t forget y’all http://www.sneakerbistro.blogspot.com for what ever foamz y’all want copper and silver 1/2 we ship anywhere .

  14. Comment by U.Beezy October 30th, 2009 at 4:28 pm

    i know NY holds alot of heat, but dudes be thinking we still wearin chucks n dickies out here in CA. Yall cant just say east coast. same as you guys were wearing, AF1’s and 6′ timbs when fp’s dropped origionally. wasnt nobody on tv wearin foamposites. neither were they in cali, or anywhere else. whatever dude said ^^^^ i be in the bay, oakland, san fran, sac, la. I dunno who said those were ugly. all those places got heat. you go to other places, they dont even get those shoes. i was in dallas when they dropped in 2000, they didnt even get em. same in boise. go back to ca, they already sold out. (sz 8.5 – 12 atleats). and im not sayin cali is even close to this so-called “foamposite land”

  15. Comment by U.Beezy October 30th, 2009 at 4:29 pm

    ^^^ dropped for the second time atleast;)

  16. Comment by j_collector October 30th, 2009 at 4:31 pm

    yea it’s mos def in the DMV area you can’t deny us,i’ve lived in MD my whole life and we most def rep em more than them ny cats, i go to school in bmore now and hardly any ny cats care for foams.

  17. Comment by FTLlegend October 30th, 2009 at 4:31 pm

    NY definetly owns the title to be called Foamposite land. I remember in 97 when I was attending College. Nobody had them nor did they know what I was talking about. But when I went back home to the Bronx…sure enough their they were. And for Foamposite boots…it’s 10 degrees in the winter in NY. What’s a DMV winter?

  18. Canada didnt even get FOAMS. BOOOOOOO TO CANADAS GARBAGE DISTRIBUTION FROM NIKE

  19. Comment by Killa Man October 30th, 2009 at 4:35 pm

    My homeboys cousin came down to Atlanta fom DC and he had on some foams with tall ass socks and I thought he was from another planet. You can tell DMV o’s foamposite land cause they rock flightpisites with the zipper and KG’s and Griffey Posites even those nasty ass foamposite iii’s with the bug eyes. They just do it different in DC.

  20. Man DC is known for New Balance dey been doin them 4eva. BALTIMORE put the foamposite and flightposites on the map. And in baltimore we call foams “DOPES”

  21. Comment by D333mV33 October 30th, 2009 at 4:43 pm

    dmv dmv DMV WE ALL KNOW NIKE KNOWS if there is one shoe that makes you think dc its FOAMS IT REALLY DOESNT MATTER i went to new your 5 years ago with my og royal blues and honestly no one was wearing foams i felt like an alien know you come to dc you go to any mall store your going to see a couple wearing foams flights or dunkins real talk I also knew a guy with a sneaker spot in NY and he would send his foams south cuz they never moved any units up north and he would send his af1 north from the pennys to the dunkins to the flights if it plastic its dc yall know its true I know this for a fact not an opinion now NY is trying to go hard on foams how many new york celebrities have you ever seen in foams none they wear Forces ya dig this isnt even a valid argument you guys need to be true to you all of a sudden yall big on foams this is laughable kind of like the nike boot thing at the end of the day DC FOAMS ny af1 it is what it is FIFTY CENT SAID IT BEST WHEN HE SAID”NEW YORK NIG6@Z LIKE TO COPY NIG6@Z LIKE ITS ALL GOOD” DONT GET CAUGHT SLIPPIN IN THE WRONG HOOD CUZ WE HOOD WE NEED DURABLE SHOES CUZ WE STAY ON THE BLOCK

  22. Comment by CenValCali October 30th, 2009 at 4:44 pm

    All I know is that in my neck of the woods, Northern California from the farmland cuts all the way to the Bay, muthaf*#kas love their Foams mayne. He77, I can’t even find a DS pair on Craigslist for under $300….& those are the Eggplants. Royal Foams is the crown royale….a DS pair will make your guap feelin lightweight in the quickness if you were to cop. It ain’t always Dickies, Ben Davis, Chucks, & Cortez’ around here & I’d be lyin if I said that I ain’t never bought em from Wal-Mart or K-Mart….that wuz then this is now….We love Foamposites too!! So lets all join hands & sing “Koom By Yah.”

  23. Comment by D333mV33 October 30th, 2009 at 4:46 pm

    AND THOSE OF YOU TALKING ABOUT EGGPLANT DONT EVEN COMMENT WE ARE TAKING THIS BACK TO 99 IF YOU CANT DO THAT STAY YOUR YOUNG AZZ OUT THIS CONVERSATION

  24. Comment by Paper Chasr~OSD October 30th, 2009 at 4:47 pm

    Foamposites were NOT Popular in NY when they 1st came out, and are barely a big deal in NY now (Overall)…At one point (back in the day) Foamposites (both Pro and Pennys were on sale for ridulous sale prices up here). They were NOT a hit in NY.

  25. Comment by sneakergameinsane October 30th, 2009 at 4:47 pm

    we call them drug dealer shoes in MD because they were the only ones that had them back in the day

  26. Yoooo real talk D333mV33 shut yoo stupid ass up man please with all that bull, like I said cats up North been on Foams since they first came out, come on mann, you act like yall the originators of this shoe or somethin, cats everywhere love and adore this shoe, so just sit back and go to sleep like I said earlier. And you said takin it back to 99, man im takin it back 97 now wat dumb ass.If anything rapper mase had on the original all Black Foams with the clear sole on his harlem world albumn cover. Soo umm yeahhh. The Foams are some dope sneakers and straight classics, so just take it like that.

  27. Comment by DCrunsit October 30th, 2009 at 4:56 pm

  31. Comment by D33mV33 October 30th, 2009 at 5:10 pm

    Well I was in the ninth grade graduated in 02 you do that math

  32. Comment by Converse King (Retired) October 30th, 2009 at 5:13 pm

    I might buy the copper foamposites, and I don’t live in either city. In the end it shouldn’t really matter. Cop what you wanna cop, and rock what you wanna rock.

  33. i think both dc and nyc because if dc only got it than nyc will miss out because the foamposite releases will only go to dc only

  34. Yooo that dude D33mV33 probably doesnt even that many Foams lol, That dude is a straight hater, who cares who started rockin them first, everybody everywhere wears and loves Foams, shit I was overseas in London, I seen cats wearing Foams. Its a Universal thing, we all love Sneakers as Sneakerheads, so thats that.

  35. I’m from NY. We’ve ALWAYS rocked Foamposites 1s and Pros. All other Penny joints are lesser shoes to me, though just as dope to many others. I’ve also spent time in the DMV. That trio of states has always been known for rocking New Balances as far as I know, and honestly, I can’t recall seeing many folk rock Foamposites when I’ve visited. The reality is that, if there’s something hot, NY will likely have access to it and be all over it before the south even has a chance to embrace it. For all we know though, NY and the DMV have been simultaneously killing Foamposites since they were introduced to the world. How ’bout we all just enjoy these Coppers when they drop.

  36. DMV ALL DAY WE PUT THIS ON THE MAP

  37. Comment by D33mV33 October 30th, 2009 at 5:26 pm

  51. Comment by 23edge KNOWS October 30th, 2009 at 5:57 pm

    these dope dealers is property of DMV… and the few cats that were wearing them in NYC wore them with 8 ball leather jackets and FUBU gear, not a good look

  52. G-Roc..you trying to start a war…i lived all over..i seen dudes rock foams in ND ( for some of u not good with geography thats North Dakota), there is not real land of it..cuz i’m sure dudes in dc been rocking it for a min just like dudes in nyc, i’m from ny and lived in dmv, and they all rock them equally..as far as the nike boots..thats a dmv thing..dudes in nyc was still rocking beef and broccolis when they were rocking nike boots in dc …

  53. why can we all get a long sneakers are for every body

  54. ^^^^ *no real

  55. why can we all just get along sneakers are for every body

  56. dmv for the longest time they use to be used by drug dealers
    and they were called dopeboys
    and ppl around me still call em that “dopes”

  57. @SoleLo @Mello – I’m not trying to starting anything. I just thought this was a good topic to talk about. At the end of the day, its just SNEAKERS aka rubber and leather. Like I said, if you like Foamposites rock them because YOU like them, and rock them well. :)

  58. Comment by D33mV33 October 30th, 2009 at 6:05 pm

    Whoever has the money for thesWhoever has the 200 will own a pair it’s well known that in general the response to foams back in the day was not good in dc we embraced it it was a durrable shoe that would let forever foam, flights, it don’t matter we love them all in dc and i’ve been to ny yall don’t mess with foams like we do I’m sorry it is what it is there is a few scatters maybe but what I’m sayin is that we wear foams like yall wear af1 religiously I have all kinds of shoes but the ones I love the most and I hold higher than any shoe I got not only for it’s durability but also amazing design is the foam hate how you want cus to me the foam material and multiple renditions don’t matter I just love posites and to me and anybody who doesn’t know foams will always rep for DC

  59. lets stop it lmfao people its getting to far

  60. Comment by shoe game CRAZZY October 30th, 2009 at 6:10 pm

    You cant go to a school in the DMV without seein someone with a pair of dopes on. and just about every dope is present even the doctor dooms.

  61. at the end no one win. I am always around ny but its such a scam there. hoh always playing shady when they release them by switching the release date or their nonsense raffle ticket that’s distributed only to their friends.

  62. Comment by D33mV33 October 30th, 2009 at 6:12 pm

    Sorry for the spelling on my iPhone and it’s dying so I’m out

  63. in the end the foamposite was the greatest shoe ever and it was made so that every body can enjoy peace

  64. Comment by ZOEY FLOWERZ October 30th, 2009 at 6:24 pm

    ITS A EAST COAST SHOE YALL, LEAVE IT AT THAT…THEY HIT THE STORES AT THE SAME TIME AND PEOPLE BOUGHT THEM AT THE SAME TIME ALL OVER…CHICAGO WE KEEP IT REAL!!!!!!!!

  65. NY definately got the title..I got me some foams!

  66. Damn… this thread has more hating than a 2-Pac and Biggie album. I have never seen a thread get down this hard. You guy are all trippin imo. Foams are great sneakers, dont matter where you from.

  67. Comment by MelloYelloMD October 30th, 2009 at 6:35 pm

    (con’t)NYC is synonymous with AF1 (although some would say it’s an Uptown thing) but if you want to get technical, B-More is the birthplace (sorry to my man D33mV33 but Bodymore(sigh) has creation rights lol). So although the demand for AF1s may have been higher coming out of NYC and making ya’ll come down 95 to cop…Bmore flavor created the style (two tones and all that…Mr. Shoe)…so does that make them AF1-land? Careful how you answer that, because if you still lay claim to AF1’s because you “made them mainstream” then it doesn’t matter where the Foams were rocked first because DC “made them mainstream” and we would be Foamland…Truthfully you all can have FoamCity cuz we are definitely “PositeLand” hands down. As for the FoamDome, Nike Boot, ACG discussion…I think everyone was rocking regular ACG kicks…trail, hiking, and all that but when it came time for the Nike Goadome boot to drop…well the interview buddy posted in the Wale thread told you everything…when the designer of the shoe says it…it’s gospel people so that’s not even a debate. It would be interesting though to pull some numbers on the sales of Foams and Flights in these areas…my Penny err 2 cents on that

  68. Comment by SNEAKER MAN DAN October 30th, 2009 at 6:35 pm

    DC got it all day sorry NY yall trippin

  69. COME ON NOW ITS DMV ALL DAY. AND I STILL SEE DUDES WEARIN DEES JOINTS EERYDAY I GO 2 SKOOL. ITS EITHER THE BLUE JOINTS OR DA SLIVER JOINTS

  70. CALI went hard on these too yo, yes, da royal blues…
    if u could afford em, u got em. i remember them sellin well…
    now if u talkin Foam boots, then yea, we (CALI) bow out.

  71. I dont know but NY is packed with HypeBeasts. Im a Cali dude and things over here aint to major for Foams, I which I could have gotten a pair but O well.

  72. Yooo erick, where far from HypeBeasts, over in the EastCoast, where true Sneakerheads unlike yall Westcoast cats.

  73. Comment by Marcg*sparklecity*SC October 30th, 2009 at 6:53 pm

    I say it coming. I go 2 DC bout every year but I don’t b out 2 really see what folks b rockin and I’ve never been to the big apple so I wouldn’t knw who takes the crown

  74. Comment by Bed-Stuy Tee October 30th, 2009 at 6:55 pm

    Real talk, Foam P’s definitely started in NYC. I’m a Brooklyn dude and I clearly remember rocking them blue thangs with some Polo sweats and Harlem dudes rocking them with Nautica sweats. I use to travel to Philly and DC all the time and cats use to look at my feet like what’s those. I told them these those Penny and Mike Bibby thangs. Holla…………….

  75. All jokes aside NY why do insist on stealing everything, this sh* is really getting ridiculous we strated the foam craze and thats that point blank and due to popular belief we started wearing air force ones first yes its true bmore sold em first but dudes from Dc was taking that ride to get the white silver lows and the white grey mesh HIs, stop jiving we was buying them before the colors came out, thats when everybody else caught on, hmmm next thing you know NY started Nike Boots, I remember when NY dudes thought they were ugly!!!!

  76. Comment by CenValCali October 30th, 2009 at 7:08 pm

  93. Comment by Converse King (Retired) October 30th, 2009 at 7:57 pm

    I sound gay? I’m not the one who was trying to get two guys to kiss. What’s that about, anyway? You like girls don’t you? My bad on the Brad Pitt movies, though. I guess you’re more into bigger guys like Michael Moore, right?

  94. lol hahahahahahaha, yooo Converse King, you really crack me up son, you really do, man hahahah, you two guys are too much for real for real, shit we can do this all night all day, dont matter to me lol. And another thing you brought up them guys lol not me, so thats probably your Thing buddy. I think I’ll stick to sneakers fam.

  95. Foams have been kinda part of our dress code in DC, Maryland, and Virginia. Matter of fact I went to Jamaica this past summer for SumFest and guy walked up to me and was like “you from DC?” I said yeah. I asked how you know? and dude was like “you DC guys always wearing those shoes”. I mean its clear internationally where Foamposite land is and that is the DMV

    What’s wrong, Chris Black? You think no guy would ever want you, because you’re a jackass? Well I think you might be right. But don’t give up on that dream, because if you really wanna walk down the aisle in a bridal gown, then you can’t give up. Your husband is out there somewhere.

  97. Comment by CenValCali October 30th, 2009 at 8:05 pm

    Chris, go on & do your sissy azz “verbal drive-bys” else where cuz I stay on the block 24-7….trust that.

  98. Yooo CenValCali, I dont care wat block you be at, im in the hood myself dumb ass, thats nothin all day every so wat, wat does that prove, nothing exactly, yooo yall some straight bitch boys you and your girl, I thought I was arguing with men, more like mice to me, you can even stick up for your own without Mr Converse King backin you up. hahahahahah thi soo much fun.Internet Thugs are realy wats up now huh fellas.

  99. Mannnn NO! One person, alone, is responsible for putting foams on the map: PENNY HARDAWAY. If he hadn’t dugg a little bit deeper in that bag of shoes, this “debate” wouldn’t even be happening.

  100. And Converse King im worried bout you, you really must feel a certain way, sorry i dont roll that way son, you better hollerin at CenValCali, yall make a good couple hahaahahh lol.

  101. Comment by Converse King (Retired) October 30th, 2009 at 8:16 pm

    Chris Black, you wouldn’t know anything about having friends, because you’re a human sack of crap. That’s why you assume shit about people, whilst also outting yourself as a jimmy gobbler. You said so much more in your desire to see two men kiss, than any of your other statements here today. I think you should just sit down, have a long feminine conversation with one of your 16 cats about why you’re still alone, and then drink an appletini and cry yourself to sleep. I highly doubt you’re from the hood as well. I bet you’d pee your pants, if you ever saw a real gun. Bitch boy.

    I know what you don’t know, Chris Black, and that would be damn near everything. You’re an ignorant prick, and your “facts” are more diluted than you are. Now, I know you’re not an adult, because any adult with a respectable amount of education knows how to punctuate a sentence. Your posts make you sound like a retard, and I dunno, maybe you’re doing it on purpose, because you wanna sound like a ghetto thug. But no, you just sound retarded. Thought I’d let you know. Ask your mom if I’m a faggot, bitch. Go learn long division, sonny.

  108. lol hahhahahh yooooo Converse King please just stop, and yess iam an adult for your info, I just dont got time for people who are beneath me like you, so I must steep to your level to deal with cowards like you real talk, your the one who sounds like a retard, now if you where smart, youll leave this alone, but since your not man enough to just walk away, I gotta shutdown again and again and again, and sonny boy hahahh, your my son and its not cause you shine like one either lol, how you like them apples johnny boyy yeahhhhhhhhh babyyyy.

    What sneakers did Ray Allen wear in he got game? Pearls. Where was he got game at? NYC. Lol seriously though I was in 8 th grade when foams dropped and they ain’t really move like they do now cause of the insane price tag at the time. A couple years later when the foamposite pro (blue/black bottom) came out they flew off stores along with the black versions,red/blk and pearls only joints that I never saw sell out were the Carolina/white joints which were blah IMO till today when foams drop out here they sell out instantly I myself scooped up penny foams(blue),pearls(from 02,black pros from 3 years ago. All in all that’s how I seen it in NYC I never been to dc so I can’t speak on it but I would just say this as long as ya love the sneaker out there then it’s all love glad to know dc and ny dudes share the same great taste in kicks period stop the hate folks let’s keep the sneaker game alive petty hate like this is why the game is RIP

  129. Wow very very bad comback dumb ass, that shit was corny and made no type of sense, your like one of the dumbest nigga I know, wat the hell is bamma, im gettin sick and tired of hearing that dumb shit, a billy goat got more sense than you D33mV33.

  139. Yoooo Raul I agree with you my dude, real talk, tell these wack ass niggas wat time it is ya heard, I been sayin this all day, they just want to be like NY, hands down.

  140. lol these comments is o.d. it’ll take 3 days 2 read all this shit but i knw for a fact dc niggaz be rockin em nd im from ny most ny cats really just started doin the foam thing not that long ago but then again idk

  141. D.C. really is foamposite land. Not to say that New Yorkers don’t love the shoe, but D.C. put that shoe on the map. It is one of the most beloved sneakers in the DMV for shoe heads and non shoe heads alike. It’s guaranteed that on any given day in D.C. you will see people rocking Foamposites in various styles and colorways. And we have been doing it. Much love to the DMV! Much love to NYC. No matter what city you believe “Foamposite Land” to be, we can all agree that the Foamposite is as great shoe.

    -Adam

    Can’t wait to cop the Copper Foams! Pretty much any Foam with a clear outsoul is a must have for me.

  142. Did y’all see what I said?

    MIKE BIBBY WAS THE 1ST TO EVER WEAR THE FOAMPOSITES, EVER.

    Whoa the whole puerto rican cats rocking fitted abd baggy jeans is straight stero type there buddy. There a lot if idiots that do so but it’s also blacks,whites etc. Btw a Yankee fitted and timbs never goes out of style out here in NYC period. The baggy jeans is od only straight hood dudes in NYC still do that the ones that have no need to dress to impress and could careless. When jayz started rocking button downs with jeans and fitteds everyone and they mom even outta NYC started doing but it started out here first just an example of some things NYC starts

  145. Used to have respect but fuck TokyoMike. What does Puerto Rican have to do with being from NYC? When’s the last time you’ve been to NY if you ever have been? in the year you stated, 1994, when everybody, everywhere was wearing baggy jeans? Yeah people still wear timbs with yankee hats but wear goadomes more. Nobody in NY that likes fashion wears baggy jeans. The home of Foams and Goadomes is in NYC, where it started was in some geniuses brain.

  149. Comment by Ike Precise October 31st, 2009 at 7:03 am

    Look… This is not a question about “who put Foams on the map” or “Who started rockin Foams first”… the fact of the matter is.. in NY, there are a lot of different sneakers styles that one would consider to be popular or crazeworthy (AF1s, Dunks, timbs, etc)… a lot of ppl like and have Foams in NYC.. and let’s be honest, no ONE area singlehandedly put Foams on the map.. These are shoes that have been popular in the NBA basketball shoe community for over 12 years now and EVERY area that sells shoes got them AT THE SAME TIME, so u cannot honestly say that any area “rocked them first”… BUT…. I would have to agree that the DC Metro Area (or DMV, whatever) would most likely be consider “Foamposite-Land”… Ive never been to another area where no one rocks ANYTHING ELSE but Foams and Nike Boots… It would literally be IMPOSSIBLE to walk into any urban high school and NOT SEE at least 20 to 30 students who have them (and the deeper u get into PG, Foam coppage rates almost triple).. It was once a common saying that all u needed to be “OK” (not made fun of) in high school was a pair of Foams, boots, and New Balances.. Foams have BY FAR eclipsed Air Jordans in popularity down here even though some Foams are up to twice as expensive… We sell out of general releases of Foams around here the way NYC sells out of Limited edition quickstrikes… I refuse to believe that another area cops Foams as much as we do.. It’s not possible… U could walk into a church around here and spot ppl in foams… It’s ridiculous…

  150. Comment by K-I-N-G October 31st, 2009 at 7:32 am

    Are you kids done bickering yet? First off DMV is Foamposite land. Second, Cali got 4 NBA teams (Golden State Warriors, Sac Kings, LA Clippers, LA Lakers). NY (the state) has two baseball teams (Yanks and Mets), two football teams (Jets and Giants), and ONE NBA team. The Bay alone has two baseball teams (Giants and A’s), two football teams (Niners and Raiders), and one NBA team (GSW). Factor in the rest of the professional sports teams in Cali and nobody else can compete. But that’s all beside the point. DMV is Foamposite land. I’ve come across a good amount of New Yorkers in my life and every one of them will swear up and down that NY started every trend in the history of trends and whenever something silly like that comes out of their mouths please believe my Cali folk knock em off their high horses every time (and before anybody assumes that I dont know what I’m talkin about I got fam in Jersey right by NY). IMO, NY is HELLA overrated when it comes to everything. Ask my dude CenValCali. We get it in.

  151. NYC of course…NYC puts on almost everything, besides for Chucks, thats a west coast thing…Foams, Timbs, Nike Boots, Saucony, AF1 Jewels and yatta yatta yatta you can all thank NY for putting on the map…I’ll thank DMV for picking up the trend and keeping it going but i can not thank for saying they put on something they never put on..They just picked up from where we left off…I remember when Wale put out Nike Boots and the whole country felt the need to jump on the ACG bandwagon..A lot of us over here in NY had already been on the ACG wagon and gotten off of it after a few rounds before Wale or the DMV even knew what ACG meant…

    G-roc see wat u did this ishh is hilarious, if i had a dollar 4 every curse word in the comment section my ass could go out and by some damn foams right now…yall neeed 2 quit the bickering like i said earlier when niggaz is killing 4 foams they got it hands down cuz i neva heard sum1 getting shot or killed 4 some foamposites in NY…yea we definitely go hard 4 foams but i gotta give it 2 DMV imo….my experience from traveling back and 4th is its kinda been even btwn the 2 with the exception of a few releases…

  153. Comment by solefix October 31st, 2009 at 8:39 am

    MY comment is based on who goes harder for foams but idk who started it 2 me its equal…I aint kno Cali f*cks wit foams WERD!

  154. Real talk…we can argue about who was the first on Foams all day (NYC, Bmore, and DC can argue all day about anything cuz the love/hate relationship is SO strong). Regardless of who put them on first or where they dropped first…DC is definitely known for making the Posite technology a staple. Im talking not just Foams but flights too. If you have never been to both DC and NYC PLUS been out of state to other places you have no place in this debate. You can go to any college campus and show someone a pair of these shoes and they will be like “Those space boots? Ole Flight of the Navigator looking a$$ joints…those the kicks them DC ‘Youngs’ be wearing with the tall/looney toon socks, and glitter shirts and headbands” <–back when that was the style, Im showing my age here. In DC it is kinda a requirement and birthright to own a pair of Total Foam or Foam pro's or a Flightposite 1-3…this newer isht they try to put posite on the back of they can keep. I have never been anywhere else where the Posite line of technology is that heavy. (cont)

    hey K-I-N-G – You forgot about the ANGELS OF ANAHEIM…. LOL…. THANKS for dropping the ESPN on these cats though…
    I’m from NY…. I love NY to the DEATH but these days when you think about the FOAMS.. DMV is where it’s at. The AVERAGE cat is not rocking FOAMS out here in NY period. It’s Js, TIMBS, CHUCKS & AF1s…. out in the DMV… everybody rocks those joints… EVERYBODY… someone made a comment earlier about walking into a CHURCH in DMV and you would probably see someone rocking FOAMS (HILARIOUS) but true. MY BROTHER moved to the BALTIMORE area 6 yrs AGO and I visit him frequently….. It’s all about the DOPES out there folks…. The ARGUMENT isn’t who started it but what STATE is the FOAM known for. Just like SHELL TOES, CONSTRUCTS, BEEF & BROCS, GORES are synonymous with NYC, CORTEZ’s & Js with THE CHI & CHUCKS with CA…… (no disrespect to any other states, I’m not saying that other states don’t rock all these sneakers I mentioned) so is the FOAMS with the DMV……. GOTTA GIVE THE PROPS WHERE IT’S DUE OR IF YOUR PRIDE DOESN’T ALLOW YOU TO DO THAT, PLAINLY STATE THE FACTS…….. DMV IS FOAM LAND…

  180. Dag, y’all mad for real. First of all, big up Tokyo Mike cuz that shit was funny in the first place, then y’all got all emotional and shit. Plus it’s a fact to some degree…I was loungin’ watching that old ass Lord Tariq/Peter Gunz video when these bamas came out with these oversized leather bullshit costumes on looking straight dumb. This cat I know that moved down here from the Bronx to Silver Spring, MD used to rock some real jacked up stuff, but was trying to clown everybody that was past that and wore clothes that actually fit. In DC, n!ggaz was sweatpants/triple socked/headbanded down…and nobody gives a fuck. So it may be DMV, it may be NYC, shit it could be Topeka, KS…don’t nobody give a fuck. Good post though just to see everybody’s panties get bunched up.

    whether or not foams are the most popular in DMV..no one gives a crap anyways. its NYC that makes shit hotter. cuz lets face it, all the attention is turned to NYC most of the time when it comes to trends. then the rest follows. there are probably more people that rock foams in nyc than people in DMV. why? becuz we have more people u dumb idiots. atleast almost everyone i kno thats into sneakers had one pair of foams. no joke..don’t be idiots.

    This is funny I lived in PG,DC area pretty much all my life. And dudes was always rocking foams. After I graduated high school I had all the Foam Pros except the white ones that means yes I own the voltages. Now im out here in Bmore at Morgan State and when I first came out here I met some NY cats and they wasnt on no foams thats for sure they was asking me like why you like those shoes and what not. And dont get me started on the wack ass Bmore cats with those dumb ass super baggy jeans and long ass shirts, and all the other dumb stuff yall wear like fake kicks. Bmore has to be the worst on the variant tip for real.

  186. Comment by SSlowMotion October 31st, 2009 at 2:58 pm

    iight, iight, iight…

    I’m originally from Landover MD (P.G. What up! lls), Lived with my Unc in SW for a minute and eventually moved my ass to the uppercrust (VA), Growing up the metro area (DMV) the shoe of choice since the original Foamposite Penny One was released in 97 was alway the foams. Since then bamma’s been either rockin the Foamposite One, Flight Posite 1, 2, 3…ACG Nike boot, etc. You take a trip around the surroundin area (DMV) an you tell me who’s been on this shit harder….I remember when footlocker had the cleanance rack and would have mark down shit, the foams where up on that jaint cause some mofo’s couldn’t afford em….most the folks that where able to purchase em where either hustlin or they where spending half there check on them jaints….$200 for a pair of kicks was mos’definitly a “HEAD BUSTER” back in those days. But, yea, I can definitly take up for the D.C. area for holdin the foam down….On top of that I’d stay with my Auntie up in Bronx over the summers back in the late 97’s an never did I see bamma’s rockin them jain’t on that side, BUT, mofo’s all over NY (from borough to borough) rock different shit, so, I can’t primarily take it just off that…but, I was in Brooklyn and Manhatten and didn’t remember seein a got damn thing romotely close to a foam….anyway, I’ve dragged this on long enough, ON another note, I stay in Miami now (Shout outs to ATC and DJ Diialo) an I’ve seen a rack of folks rockin these ACG’s (lol) I think D.C. got some comp…lls (SIKE!) lmao!!!

  187. Comment by juliano shoeprano October 31st, 2009 at 3:53 pm

    Ha Ha this is comedy. Why are NY dudes tryna take DC shine? every sneakerhead knows where the foamposites live, and thats in DC, they only visit NY from time-to-time.

  188. I don’t want to eat a dick TokyoMike but you can get off my sack. DeadstockVA, please have a paper tagged pic with the same username you use on the site you post it on. If those brown pros are authentic(never seen those)
    and yours, you still can’t have the title because it is DC vs NYC not DMV vs NYC, sorry.

  189. it dont matter dmv dc md va we all part of this shoe game, but dc does hold down foams.. no f***in doubt, lets get it dmv wattup

  190. solefix – I know, right? All this over who started it. Got me thinking this debate wasn’t such a good idea. “Hopefully, everyone can conduct themselves in a mature manner as this debate continues.” That’s what I said in the write up, but people are in here talking crazy.
    .
    Did anyone read Paper Chasr of OSD comment?
    Comment by Paper Chasr~OSD October 30th, 2009 at 4:47 pm e
    Foamposites were NOT Popular in NY when they 1st came out, and are barely a big deal in NY now (Overall)…At one point (back in the day) Foamposites (both Pro and Pennys were on sale for ridulous sale prices up here). They were NOT a hit in NY.

    .
    Paper is a NYC OG, and I know he knows his kicks. Also, I spoke to DJ Clark Kent (another NYC OG), and he also said the Foamposite has always been a DMV thing (that doesn’t mean NY heads don’t rock Foams). Who can really argue with true OG’s that’s been doing this before most of us were even born?
    .
    However, I was hoping people could have a mature debate about this topic, but I’m pretty sure we’re dealing with all types of ages. Plus it’s so easy to talk smack on the net. Why all the trash talk anyways? It’s just sneakers! Like I’ve said over and over again, no matter who started it, if you like Foamposites, Flightposites rock them because YOU like them.
    .
    Sneaker beef? C’mon son! Everyone keep buying what you like, no matter what. Can’t we just all get along? I got much respect and love for everyone, and you should too! :)

    NYC WE LOVE FOAMS u go on my campus u gonna see foams, but Nyc were diverse we do it all from timbs, acgs, shell toes jordans foams, air, maxes, dunks, uptowns, mauris , pradas, we do it all. Just call us lands of the Kicks

  193. Comment by DC drew October 31st, 2009 at 5:04 pm

    so i think we can put this to rest like so,

    IF YOU THINK “Foamposite Land” IS..

    DC TYPE… 1

    NYC TYPE… 2

    That will save all the bickering and arguing.then at some point we can tally the points up. VERY SIMPLE. i will start off with a

    DC – 1

  196. Comment by jr_lyon October 31st, 2009 at 5:50 pm

    G-Roc, I couldn’t have said it better! But I guess when you talk about sneakers for some people its more than a passion. It’s hardcore!

  197. California- we put Vans and Chuck Taylors on the map lol. Again Foams aint even a big thing here, there on sale everywhere. We stick to Jordans and SBs.

  198. Haux says: “DeadstockVA, please have a paper tagged pic with the same username you use on the site you post it on. If those brown pros are authentic(never seen those)
    and yours, you still can’t have the title because it is DC vs NYC not DMV vs NYC, sorry.” <– What are you talking about the "DMV" is/includes DC as well…you sound rediculous kid. You names says it all "faux"…"haux"…pull ya skirt down. TM what up, keep up the good work. G-Roc apologies in advance.

  199. SMH…..If you ask a new yorker, the first single cell oranism came from NY…….

  200. He’s from VA not DC that’s what I’m saying. DMV is an acronym, I do not sound rediculous and don’t call me kid you do not know me. I did not include a “F” in my name it is haux not faux. Since you want to bring french into this Haux is a commune, meaning a small gathering of people sharing a common life, which this website is an example of.

  201. Man listen.. NYC is deff the OG’s in the Foam Game.. Dont get it twisted we def got the most HYPEBEASTS TOO.. I remember I copped the Volts back in a Footaction in 97 and then in 98 Jesus Shuttlesworth (Ray Allen) was rocking Pearls..Where was that characther from?? BROOOOOKLYN !

  202. BTW DC got all they style from a NY nigga.. ALPO !

  203. Bruh bruh No. Virginia is the V in DMV… that’s like saying this is a debate between Brooklyn (not all the borroughs of NYC) and DC…we are talking Metro areas here. Dude is def relevant to this conversation, you gone tell me my opinion doesnt matter cuz I rep MD…the M in DMV?

  204. Look at the title of the topic, your opinion matters but it is not about maryland or virginia it about DC.

  205. Sorry for the capitalization in Maryland and Virginia. NYC is all 5 boroughs, it is not just one single place. Albany, Syracuse, etc. is not part of NYC.

  206. I think you misinterpreted the heading sir, when people say DC they are talking about an area (DC Metro/DMV) not just the city of Washington good brotha. As you can tell from the comments, people from Bmore, MD, DC, and Northern VA have posted. No harm no foul we can leave it at that and stop wasting space. Back to the original topic at hand…

  207. How yall comparin three states to one city that is not fair obviously u gonna gave more cats rocking it than. the only way to make this shit fair is if u compared D.C. Maryland and Virgina to New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

  208. Comment by ThaStarrah October 31st, 2009 at 8:38 pm

    I am from NYC and I didn’t know about the foams until I moved to the DMV. DC is definitely Foamposite land. Just like NY is just now hopping on the Nike boots, the DMV been rocking those.

  209. I did not misinterpret the heading it says DC nothing else and NYC nothing else, if it is going to be the metro area it has to be vs the tri-state area as mentioned above. only person who could change it is the creator of this topic so it is DC vs NYC right now.

    CenValCali, to be fair, Karmaloop sucks ass. I’m just putting that out there. Overrated store.

  212. Comment by NikeXjordan45 October 31st, 2009 at 9:58 pm

    G-Roc u should of let em settle it out with pics n tag what city there from good debate tho

  213. Haux and NYC…
    1st read the summary UNDER the heading fellas: ” I was only going off what I’ve heard for years about the DC area and their love for Foamposites.”; “TSG has nothing but love for DMV and NYC.”; “People from DMV, NYC, and anyone else that wants to contribute to this debate, feel free to drop your thoughts in the comments.” So you would like to pull tech cuz the homie G-Roc didnt put DC Metro or DMV in the heading? Get outta here

    2nd: The District is not a state (social studies/geography 101)…and if you have ever been OT or outta ya borrough in NYC you would know that the DC-Metropolitan area is comprised of Northern VA, MD, and DC to comprise an area about equal in size (of land) to NYC, and nationally recognized as such. So this is a very fair matchup.

  214. You don’t have to leave to know what DMV stands for. MD and VA are states. I don’t think DC is a district anymore and is now a city in MD. So 2 states and a city vs 1 city, landmass does not mater. DMV also includes west VA.

  215. ^ LMAO. Are you serious? WOW! Yea this is a unfair match of wits. So what was your point again. Grab yourself an Acela ticket, maybe just start with a map or book my G…better yet just start with Google. Despite what your wikipedia definition says no one considers WV part of the DC-Met…a city in MD? (kinda contridicted yourself then huh) smh. Back to one of my original posts, you can’t possibly give an account of who rocks what without having been to both places. I have scuffed my Nikes on curbs of both in the past year…

  216. Comment by NYCrunsIT November 1st, 2009 at 1:07 am

    Everything hot came from NY. If it didnt it wouldn’t be worth talking about on a broader aspect. We had every style on lock and everyone else hopped on later. Also dont fucking front like you never own a yankee fitted and timbz.

  217. What is your point? You got at me for saying VA and DC are 2 different places, which they are. I never said DC metro area I said D.C. is a city. How am I contradicting myself when I say D.C vs NYC is a fair match which is 1 on 1 and DMV vs NYC isn’t a a fair match which is 3 on 1?

  218. Comment by CenValCali November 1st, 2009 at 2:10 am

My ny ppl know wuts up…late 90s foams were hot in ny and they still play their part in ny..n dmv might have foam boots on lock now but ny HAS been on foams for the longest..off hand I rem my boy has the collection including og foams WITH THE FOAMPOSITE HAT (you guys rem. Rite?). So end of story dmv might have foams on lock now (newer releases and foam boots-which to me shouldn’t be counted. as foams) but ny has had the ogs and the exclusives (h.o.h. And etc.) on lock and still do..but as I said…who cares who’s king? Both areas rock the sneakers and that’s that..stay humble

  223. Comment by U.Beezy November 1st, 2009 at 5:56 pm

    cali be settin the trends as of late, but man ima just say dmv gots it. cuz, i know a few from ny(im in the military), and you ask somebody from ny, they gon say, yeah i had a pair. but they gon tell you it wasnt like everybody had em. i know hella people who got em in the bay, cuz i know shoe heads. and thats who i ascociate myself with. so if all my homies got em, of course its gonna feel like hella people got em. you still gon see other heads willin to drop a coo $300, but theres fans of the shoe every where. DMV seems like its part of their culture to rock em. like the bay wit dreads n scrapers n skateboard style, like the south with cadilacs om 28’s n those dumb ass rain boots. but i didnt even know there was a “foamposite land”, so how are people biting? especially ny. dc had never been on the map to even let most people know yall had a shoe game till wale. anyways, unless u wear em erry day, knock it off. ima let the rest of the us do the cali thing. jock that laid back, sb, levi’s, vans, and erry other hot brand out there right now if you want to. upper playground, daimond supply, lrg, dissizit, in4mation(hawaii), orisue. keep biting. And now erry body wanna wear checkerboard button ups. like cali!!!. keep jockin the cali steez. we run “Tings”. last thing we bit from any other place is the throwback jersey thing from fabolous. other than that, cali is way to big to not be original.

  224. Comment by U.Beezy November 1st, 2009 at 7:23 pm

    on top of that, cali put fabolous on. nate dogg on the hook, rick rock on the beat, and he from sac. i cant deny it, im a f*$#@& rydah, u dont wanna F% wit me. come on man!!!

  225. Yooo U.Beezy, please stop it your madd corny son, no one cares.

  226. I’m from Bed-Stuy Brooklyn and I can say I personally have LOVED foams and flights since they dropped in the 90’s. I’m an avid foam collector to this day. Mad heads out here do wear foams and flights out here, but most of them are hypebeasts and bandwagon jumpers which is why I was unable to get the HOH pearl foams in April. Never been to DMV, but I can vouch for NYC and say a lot of people out here do own (not love) foams.

  227. Comment by balloutb22 November 1st, 2009 at 11:24 pm

    I use to be a GM for Finish line I ran a store in the DC area and NY area and per capital (meaning per person) DC area sells more foams and Nike boots ask any Nike sales rep or ekin. In the DMV foams sell like air force ones do in the NY. When I was in college in NC none of the dudes from NY rocked foams but all the DC dudes stayed with foams.

    I’m sure NY cats rock Foams but to say NY is Foamland is crazy. Must be the dry-ass weed lol anyway my bad LA Angels of Anaheim (to whoever called me out on that earlier, good lookin). Anyway I know a couple dudes from NY that moved out here and they hate Foams. That doesnt mean that NY heads dont rock em but I havent come across too many NY’ers in the Bay and the ones I do know say NY runs Forces (1s, Uptowns, whatever you wanna call em).

    Devin NB have always been a staple in the dmv area….but when foams dropped they were embraced here like no other…and i am sure the numbers are crazy for the dmv area when it comes to sales lol

    okay, i’m from NY and foams out here aren’t so heavy. its really mainly jordans and pennys, but we still show foamposites crazy love. i remember when they dropped and everybody up here copped a pair, but nobody really goes hard up here for foamposites. plus the HoH is in Harlem, and uptown cats go crazy for nike basketball, especially foamposites. us new york cats do got mad love for foamposites, but we can’t say our shoe of choice up here is the foamposites. from the people i know in NY (and i do not know 8 million some-odd people), we go harder for jays than foamposites.

    I REALLY DON’T HAVE TIME FOR ALL THIS BS….. I’M FROM NYC, AND TODAY ALONE WITHOUT ME KNOWING ABOUT THIS BLOG I’VE NOTICE A LOT OF DUDE ROCKING THESE KICKS(REALLY HARD!!!!!). THERE EVERY WHERE YOU LOOK, AND IT DAMN SURE WASN’T LIKE THAT A FEW YEARS BACK. I ALWAYS WANTED THE ALL BLACK ONES, BUT COULDN’T AFFORD THEM BACK THEN. NOW I OWN AN ALL BLK PAIR OF HALF CENTS, AND THEM EGGPLANT FOAM(SORRY, JUST GOTTA BONNER). BUT I DON’T THINK MY HOME TOWN ON NYC PUT THEM ON THE MAP. BUT DAMN SURE COULD GET ARE HANDS ON THEM(HARD BODY).

    The point ain’t about who’s rocking them hard now cus I’m rocking and been rockin Amd seen 10 plus rockin in the city today NY is hypebeasting and that’s cool all of a sudden hey that’s how yall role but we started it and to state a fact dc is a metro area which means maryland district of Columbia and Virginia and if you want to get tecnicle dc was a part of Alexandria va that was turned into what is now the capital of the united states but was separated so there would be no prefrances between north and south that’s why northern virginia is highly democratic as well as Maryland that’s why it’s the DMV dc metro area little bit of history about what I think is official foamposite land real talk check the history that why the white house was at mt Vernon in Alexandria george Washington lived there real talk tru history so there you go this is why dc is not just dc but ass your driving throug our beloved city you can’t even tell when your in dc or md this is why it’s the DMV

    Foamposite land DMV

  243. I’m just saying nyc but they stamp on construction tims, forces and shell toes. If they wanna put there stamp on everything it kinda waters it down. as far as I know DMV put their stamp on nike boots and foams. And I’ve never heard a NY rapper talking about foams, the rappers are reporters for the hood, for all we know Iowa could all be rocking foams but they dont have a rapper to put it on front street.

    I see somebody picked up on the debate – I LOVE TSG!

    Look without reading all the comments – just call Major DC at 202 625-6732 and ask for Ducki. He worked for Nike at teh time and he knows.

    NY CLAIMS EVERYTHING and the truth is its not all true. Every major Black city in this country lays claim to having one or two pairs that everyone rocks. DC just so happens to stand FIRM on New Balance, Nike Boots and Foams. If that wasn’t the case then why did New Balance Supreme throw all their parties in DC when they dropped? Outside of WALE and teh song ‘Nike Boots’ Sports Zone and DTLR maid their $$ off those sales. PLUS WALE, a DC artist, was the 1st to rock the Eggplant and Copper Foams.

    No Debate – just truth – Go to the source in Oregon or call real Nike ppl – they all say the same thing!

    TSG thanks for reading the post – much appreciated!

  245. Comment by DC DunKing November 3rd, 2009 at 1:04 pm

    and people wonder why Cam’ron was shot in his Lambo when he cam to DC – lol

    DC will always HATE NY cats (unless they are family)
    NY always tries to Son DC cats (NY created the everything)

    this will never end!

    TSG WHADDUP! NICE THREAD but i’m tired and annoyed, lol

  246. ^LOL, yeah this debate was off the chain. Peep the news on the homepage.

  247. yo g-roc look what you started lol. this shit is to much, but chris black im with you nigga. Brooklyn we go hard

  248. Comment by BIGGRIZZLY November 3rd, 2009 at 3:33 pm

    THIS IS WHY I WOULD SAY DC IS CONSIDERED “FOAMPOSITE LAND”. IN NY, YOU ALL ARE KNOWN FOR ROCKIN AF1′S AND TIMS. THATS THE SHOE THAT, IF YOU ARE FROM NY, YOU GOTTA HAVE. HERE IN HOUSTON, IF YOU AREN’T ROCKIN JORDANS OR AIR MAX, THEN THERE IS A PROBLEM. IN DC, IT’S KNOWN THAT GOADOMES, FOAMS, AND NB ARE DC STAPLES. PEOPLE MAY ROCK THEM IN NEW YORK ALOT, BUT THE MARKET ISN’T AS LARGE AS IN DC. AND THIS IS COMING FROM A PERSON IN SHOE RETAIL THAT WORKED ALONG THE DMV AND NY. DC IS FOAMPOSITE LAND AND THATS THE END OF DISCUSSION.

  249. Yooo Jmaine good lookin out my dude, tryin to tell these cats wat time it is ya digg.

  250. hell ya

  251. You do know Wale only had the eggplants and coppers first because he’s wears the sample size, nothing else. Nike doesn’t send them to him because they know he’s a sneakerhead.

  252. dc!yea we did dat.
