Looks like 2 totally different shoes as far as the Pearl color tone goes.
OG PEARL FTW.
Don’t tear me apart but; i like the 2010s pearl color better than the og.
WoW… FLIPPIN’ WOW… that’s an EYE OPENER! Compared to the 97 (which is BEEEYYYOOOOTTTTIIIFFFUUULLL)… the 2010 releases should be called BUTTER-CREME FOAMS!
.
Honestly, the Butter-Cremes are still really nice but don’t deserved to be called “Pearl” according to the 97 standard! WoW!!!
4drumz- truth.
Jesus Shuttlesworth wouldnt approve.
Those are nice I copped 8 pair’s of these yesterday I see T.I. back snitching again damn
Wow i am mad surprised. still like them and got but should not be Pearls, agree with cream or how about horseradish
Damn color is totally different,but they still good money.
Vanilla foams, but no complaints from me.
let me tell you that the 2010 pearl color is more of a true pearl color than the ogs
eaven pearl colored cars are slightly cream colored sorry nike got it wrong the first time and they corrected there selfs first ones should not have been called pearls they should have been called white foams
2010 cream soda foamposite. lol. I want them pewters.
i agree. the OG pearl color isnt actually true pearl. but i love both idc. its only like 2 or 3 shades off
D33MV33 SAID IT RIGHT ON…. NOTHING ELSE TO SAY HERE. I DON’T GIVE TO FLYIN’ FLIPS… I GOT MINE AND THEY ARE GORE-JUSS… MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I saw a great deal of people checking these out today at Footaction. They still had a major size run along with the Charcoal IX’s.
they arent selling that well over here. i was trying them on today at footlocker and everybody that walked in when i was there was crowding the aisle with all the team jordans while pearls, citrus 9 and charcoal 9s, infrared 90s and 6s were on the other side. two dudes were arguing about who would get the team jordans. lmao.
@^^^^Yepert! The shoe game has definitely changed. Not necessarily a bad thing. I just remember the late 80′s and early 90′s when Jordans would never go on sale and they were the upper echelon of performance and everyday wear. You’re whole fit could be busted but if you had a a nice pair of kicks like some Nike Flights or something you were straight. Where does the time go?
^^^YOU AINT NEVA LIE, LEM! But this recession is kicking people’s asses AND Michael Jordan is retired! Jordans, although still hot, don’t carry the EXACT weight that they used to.
yeah they og’s were diffintally a white the 2010′s are a true pearl color im glad i coped the 10′s but the og’s are dope too as well as the 2002′s
Not everybody can afford $216 kicks so I can see why they might sit for a minute.
LMFAO @ the dude who said “Nike got it wrong the first time”
.
Bahahahahahahahahahahahah one of the most famous shoes of all time but Nike got it wrong ROFL
2010 pearls looks better
@Executive aka Mr. 84: Couldn’t have said it better myself. Its pretty simple, if your a sneaker head And particularly a foamposite fan then the pearls are definitely on your shoes to get list but not everybody is a hardcore sneaker fan let alone a foamposite fan. And with that price tag it should be no surprise that it might sit on the shelves for a little bit. No biggie though.
.
@Sheinzy: …I can’t tell if that was sarcasm or not but Yeah they did get it wrong the first time as it was definitely a white based tone as opposed to the 2010′s which are more true to a pearl acccent. Doesn’t really matter though since the first is renowned and so will the second.
BOTH ARE WACK
@solelace you should try googling Pearls and I mean real Pearls not the sorta fake sh*t they sell in Wallmart or TKmaxx and you will actually realise that a real Pearl from the sea not made in a factory in Taiwan resembles the colour of the original release not the Butter Cream 2010 Foamposite Pros SMH
^ LMAO
Yall Dudes Is Hilarious… Always Cryin About Somethin… Blue Sole, Clear Sole. White Shade Of Pearl, Champaign Shade Of Pearl. If You Dont Like The Shoe NOBODY IS MAKIN YOU BUY IT.! Half The Dudes Talkin Bout Butter Cream Pearls An Vanilla Foams. -___- The Same People Are The Same Ones Who 1.Dont Got The Bread To Get Them So They Wanna Make Them Seem Like They Aint All That. 2.Jus Aint Got Nothin To Talk About So They Wanna Complain An Are Gonna Copp Regaurdless. Or 3.Jus Dont Realize That Nike Is Not Gonna Remake A Shoe %100 Identical To A Shoe They Origanlly Made 13 Years Ago. There Has To Be Somethin Thats Different From The OG To Make The OG Worth Somethin. None Of The Pearls That Retroed Were %100 Exact. So Please… Chill.
@Brinx
“BOTH ARE WACK”
^ Smh. You Know Nothing.
White Silver(97′) vs. Cream(2010′)?? …OG’s. ALL. THE. WAY. But yeah, still fly. Just different. See ‘Cool Runnings’ …”people always afraid of what’s different”. Just embrace it!
97′s>>>’10′s easily. Wack buttery color.
@ Halfcent Rod
chill with that last comment. dont call talk crap just because he doesn’t like the same shoes as you. everybody has different tastes. please no e thugging.
i think nike has a full size run so if they are sold out in your area check it out.
ppl is crazy…

@ Halfcent Rod, i think the answer is (3)Ppl Jus Dont Realize That Nike Is Not Gonna Remake A Shoe %100 Identical To A Shoe They Origanlly Made 13 Years Ago. There Has To Be Somethin Thats Different From The OG To Make The OG Worth Somethin… PLAIN & SIMPLE, you said it.

as for these i don’t rock foams so i don’t have anything bad (or good) to say about em, these are aight for the foam-heads, COPPER & PEWTER ARE STILL THE BEST OUT OF ALL THE FOAMPOSITES, IMO… oh & the eggplant is cool
these are hot but but after copping eggplants and coppers these are like B grades on quality ill get a pair but they not worth retail… for 200 i want a perfect pair and i went to the only 2 spots in my city that had them and wasnt happy with the mistakes… Did any1 else notice this or did they send the suspect kicks to the burgh?
@FLiP:
Lmao. “E Thugin”. I Wasnt Tryna “E Thug”. Dudes Jus Be Talkin Reckless… But Yeaa Ill Chill… Everybody Has Their Own Opinion. But IMO The Pearls Are Classic An One Of The Best Shoes Of All Time. Yes I Said It. Foamposites Are One Of The Best Shoes Of All Time. Technoligy Wise; With The Use Of Foam Material Which Can Adjust To The Form Of Your Foot, Zoom Air In The Sole. Then To Topp It Off Foams Jus Have That Chilled Look To Them With That Icey Sole On The Bottom.
Royals>Pearls>Eggplants>All Black Foam Ones>HOH Army Foam Ones>Coppers>Ect…
I DON’T KNOW SHEINZY.. I WAS LOOKING AT PEARLS TO GET FOR THE WIFE.. AND THEY WERE NOT THAT WHITE.. I’M JUST SAYIN HOMIE.
.
TO BE HONEST.. I DON’T CARE WHAT COLOR THEY ARE.. IF THEY ARE SPERM WHITE (WOWZERS, THAT WAS GAY… OH WELL), VANILLA BEAN WHITE, DOVE SOAP WHITE OR TRAILER PARK WHITE… THEY ARE NICE TO ME.
I keep saying, 2010′s not as pearly. I was expecting more. But oh well.

LMAO @ TRAILER PARK WHITE, lol that’s a good one!!! this reminds me of the of the infrared/varsity red 6′s argument of color
I had the OGs from Marshalls for $30 and still hated em so I never budged. I must say the mayonnaise color is fkn weird though… Congrats to those whose waited, copped and are happy. OTN.
People the white foam never was a classic wack ass hype beast shut hit the clearance racks
Foam one’s over foam pro’s any day. The swoosh messed it allll up.
