Wale x Nike Copper Foamposite
Wale does it again! You can always count on Mr. Folarin to break out a fresh pair of Nike samples. Being from Foamposite land, it was only right for Wale to rock the Copper Foamposites a few months early. He did the same thing with the Eggplant Foamposites, remember The Artistic Integrity video? Anyhow, here we a first look thanks to Wale and EliteDC. Wale was spotted rocking the Foamposites at Jay-Z Blueprint 3 tour in Baltimore last night. You know he had to shine in his area, and these Copper Foams are definitely shining.
Last we heard, the Copper Foams are dropping February 2010.
Bonus: Wale BET Hip Hop Awards “Pretty Girls” performance.
Cypher
HOlY SHIT WALE IS THAT NIGGA DEFINITE PICKUP PROPZ ON THE PICS
1st wow nice foams deff copp
Man those are just sick…Straight up. I gotta get me a pair of foams
i think i might pick these up. depends on how metallic they are to the naked eye thouhg. but i like them so far
That’s cool Wale always gets the early releases, not a big deal. We will all have em.
2nd best foamposites next to the eggplants
Wale didnt Go In on the cypher, you can barely feel his presence. but still hes a sick rapper. KRS DONT PLAY AROUND THO
Whattttttttttttt?! I just thought about breaking out my Eggplant Foams today too with the G-Star Raw shirt lol
But I am definitely copping those Copper Foams!!
DANG, THEM REAL CLEAN
These to me look like they have the potential to be better than the eggplants. Don’t get me wrong, I have the eggplants and they’re fire but these might take the pole position in my foamz category. To anybody who has any doubts about foamz, drop them asap. They’re damn comfortable and worth ever “penny” for the quality that they’re made with.
I think Wale sucks. I don’t like his music, and I definitely don’t like that he sided with Kanye West, when he interrupted Taylor Swift’s speech. Bad form. The dude should also think about buying some pants that are actually his size from the looks of these pictures. But the shoes are cool looking, and I can’t wait to see some detailed pictures of ‘em.
God those thangs are looking beautiful
Wale sucks and so does this colorway of a classic sneaker. Btw NYC is foamposite land !!!not DC
I agree I feel Nyc is foampiste land and those shit look crazy can’t wait to cop has the potential to be better than the eggplants meaning these r fire hot
Coppers are Crack!!! Wale…. Can I get the black berry charger back sir? oh, dont act like you dont know what im talkin bout.
info on the release date??
WALE IS THAT DUDE!!!! HOPEFULLY THIS WILL BE MY 1ST PAIR OF FOAMPOSITES (missed out on the eggplants)!!! THESE GO HARD!!!
damm walee murderedd dat outfitt
Definately a must have for myself. So much for slowing my roll on copping kicks…
I was gonna pass on these but damn I’m 2nd guessing that now lol they look tuff
Copper tone is superb, mayne. Consider em copped incudin Wale’s album….
These are Def beatin the Eggplants in my opinion. That copper glow and that clear Sole is doing it for me! i’ll be on line Extra early. 2 pairs.
i agree with CenValCali, but not on his album! You can recline on that idea!!!
^^ Wale has been the ish since before his major success. An those copper joints are so ill!
wale swag is stupid wear u get a shirt like that from them kicks are dope
Nice…..I may have to get these shits
Don’t get it twisted NYC is foamposite and goadome land.
Copper Joints is tuff, jus mad ma niqqa Wale used dat verse on the song Champ alrede
^Blue Cheese….I usually don’t cop new shit as far as rap goes, but Wale spit witta slick tongue so therefore it keeps me in suspense.
most wanted list…copper all day silver next king of the foams dc.. wale 3 steps all day lets kept moving…go go 4 life…
those foams are hot..much better than those pics last time.
^^^ NYC is Foamposite Land?
This is why DC ni66as HATE NY cats. We shot Cam’ron for a reason! NY ni66as are not welcome unless they humble themselves and stop acting like they create everything!
Dc’s swagg is on New Balance, Nike Boots and Foams. We rock J’s like everybody and we hate AF1s. We been rockin Northface same as Philly and used to be hard on Columbia. We make our own brands and dont rock Hip-Hop labels. Although i hate the skinny jeans, thats been a staple for youngins for a while now.
NYC cats that hate DC, just stay up north. But understand its always a problem when you make the hatred known!
Homie dude out here don’t wear nf lol like before. Foams and em ugly Nike boots is a big deal out here oh and as for af1 it’s aight there’s a reason why they called uptowns
Them thangs tuff
Thats the point!
I understand NY got staples in the way they dress – but stop acting like yall get to say what hot and whats not!
DC just about hates everyother city except maybe Philly and Chi.
No disrespect, the truth is what it is
lol bums wear north face, big boys wear marmot and moncler. DC is not foamposite land or goadome(nike boots, ACGs) land.
wale found out about goadomes in NY, research the info on the inspiration for wales “nike boots”
Moclair and marmount are uptown shit that’s tacky IMO white people wear that as they bum day jacket lol
anyway homie from dc I feel u it is what it is peronally
to hell with whatever place wears em first as long as you share the same love
for foams is all that matters. If I have the cash I’ll cop and trade
for purple joints
If you think mocler and marmot are tacky then what do you wear as a coat?
haux gtfu please.nikeboot = metro area. wale just fell back on some chill shit in the cypher thats the way to go. krs was mean
F#CK A FOAMPOSITE LAND…NY dudes LOVE foams (their ok to me) and i guess DC dudes love foams too..and thats that..Oh and its just not DC dudes that hate ny cats..its a nationwide thing..but we love the hate
by the way these are pretty nice..nike did right with the translu. sole
eff it i’m tired of this disagreement. Asolos^
“yall Ryan Leaf, Pervis Elli-seen…and it’s not a dang thing… black Yukon (UCONN) know what the El-Amin? and DC is like a draft lottery cuz ya skillz dont matter if u unda six feet” WOWWWWWW! “Keep a dub in the glove like GP”??? SHEESH
“wait on my return like I’m Vai Sikahema” Punt returner? over yall head i know. shout to them Eagles
I digress…copper foams are a must cop. DC is def the home of Foams,flight,and Nike boots…Ive stated my case on here once before so I wont elaborate
these are so sexy. these have more swagg than the half cants
Whoa whoa north faces are warm jackets. Even though they common as fuck. The Steep tech north faces are way better than marmot. And once again NYC Runs this foam acg thing fuck what ya heard. And niggas do not rock uptowns up here that much anymore
i wanted em before but kinda skeptic about em seein a actual pic makes me want em now Wale representin our area with the shoes idk bout the music sometimes but aye i cant hate keep doing ya thing wale and good post G Roc
people these release on february 5th, 2010
time to cut some grass rake some leaves and shovel some lawns cuz these foams are ill and im from ny and moved to va so i can pretty much see both of the staples of clothing north face is common but its still very fly moncler is ok wen its not shiny as shit and marmot is jus ok cnt really judge since i dont have one lls
*shovel some driveways
I NEED TWO PAIR THATS WHAT MY SAINT LOUIS PATNA SAID!

New yorkers shut the hell up and pay homage…We run Nike boots foams and flights.
“DC and Baltimore were the first cities to truly embrace the Goa, so big props to them them for having the courage to bring something new to the market.”
^From the creator of the Nike ACG Goadome.
fuck wale. those foamposites are soooooo mine. them shits are sick! they drop in feb 10?
Wale is good for a hot 16 every now and then…… his 15 mins is up. His kick game is better than his rhyming. If he got his rhymes way in advance like his kicks…. maybe we could talk… The did kill the CYPHER though…. Putting him next to a MOS DEF or BLACKTHOUGHT, EMINEM or KRS really showed that he got a lot to do when it comes to mastering the MC thing.
What’s next fellas????? Cats from the EAST gonna claim CHUCKS and CORTEZ’s next??????? Y’all be killing me…… YEAH TRI-STATE cats rock the FOAMS & ACG BOOTS but DC takes it somewhere else….. They live and die for those FOAMS…. Lots of cats in the TRI-state rock CHUCKS but I don’t think the EAST is known for rockin’ ‘em like that….. the AF1, SHELLTOE, WALLABEES & CONSTRUCTS is what the EAST is known for….. You guys can go back and forth with the QWERTY board THUGGIN’ but let’s not let PRIDE get in the way of the TRUTH….. PEACE
WALE IS THAT N!GG@…COPPER JOINTS IZ A MUST HAVE…NYC IS FOAMPOSITE LAND, BUT HE ROCK THEM ON TV THATS IT, BUT THATS COOL HE GET THE PROPS FOR PUTTIN IT OUT THERE…CHICAGO IZ DEFINITLY SECOND HOME FOR THE FOAMS…
Never been to new york so i cant sspeak on that but when i lived in chicago bammas wasnt on foams like that and to compare it was a while ago but i remember coming back to dc back and forth around that time and seein a lot of bammas rockin the foams as far as nyc i only knew a couple peolpe from there so dont really count i just kno out here in the DC metro we steady rockin foams and sense we keep talkin bout foams i want a pair of the red and black foams bad right now
when you think of ny can you say Air Force Ones….when you think of foams dc & b-more nike knows who moves the most shoes.. wale rocks it first & dmv will get them first you feel me… rap people come to dc must hook up with the go go bands play there music
DCrunsit just gave yall a proverbial mouthfull…props kid
THEY ON THE 1 HAS SOMEONE EVER ORDER FROM SNEAKERHEAD.COM BE FROE
DCrunsit we should pay homage?..really? well thanks for supplying that nice article about the Nike Boots. But your ignorance is pretty funny. Ill give u Nike Boots but you guys run foams? Thats like me sitting here saying NY dudes run Jordans. Just leave it as each city wears one shoe more but no1 RUNS anything. It’s different shoes for different markets. And if anyone wants to be ignorant and rant like “YOOO WE ORIGINATED THAT SH*T..WE ROCKED IT B4 U GUYS SO THAT MAKES US COOLER N U GUYS WACK”..grow up.
Oooooooh! Those are sick. I will have to grab a pair of these when they drop. I was waiting on a pair of pennys that spoke to me and these joints are screaming my name. I saw Wale kill it in Seattle on the 17th of Oct at the Jay-Z concert. I am officially a fan. Keep doing ya thang playa!….wurd
Wack people from NY state your claim Ive being rocking nike boots since 2001 and yall just now talking about em and for one if you know anything about the sneaker culture you would know foams are dc all day thats why my freind who has a sneaker spot in NY use to ship them to his sneaker spot on rhode island ave back in the day cus yall didn’t buy em yall about you AF1 we are about foams quite hating and to state facts yall just recently got on nike boots in dc there played out already last time I bought a pair was 4 yrs ago facts we know what it is NY keep thinking your the Ish cause at one point you where times are changing get real and keep up quite trying to claim ish that you know aint true be real
I’m from NJ/NY/CT and there’s no disrespect but D333mV33 has a point…… It’s hard to get foams up this way… especially the bigger sizes….. DMV load up on those foams…. NIKE knows it, that’s why they get the larger shipments…. I got two pair of foams and I had to get them from the DMV….. Those eggplants were gone in hrs out this way…. I probably will be getting those copper joints from down there too. LOL…. 2010 is gonna be crazy…. gotta stash some more money away…
DC and Baltimore were the first cities to truly embrace the Goa, so big props to them them for having the courage to bring something new to the market. Tru creator of Nike boots
i was at this concert in b-more he opened up for jay z. i had second row seats spotted them that night hella fresh
I gave facts, not an opinion. I don’t make remarks i can’t back with proof.
these will be copped come february and still need those eggplants, anyone have a size 11 or 11.5? hit me up atgbryan@aol.com
J.NY SHUT THAT A… UP
^I have a size 8.5 if you don’t mind cutting your toes off. lol
G-Roc I know you got a 10.5 in eggplants.
^Nope, only a size 8.5.
got an 11 300 cut small halla at me
eff it who needs toes haha
All I can say is WOW. Someone PLEASE tell me when these come out.
Yo G-Roc, how much you selling them Eggplants for?
DMVsneakerdude – I’ll take $280 shipped. Let me know!
thats a good deal thats how much i had to pay in FEB when the came out, now the cheapest they got around my way is for 375
Them Copper Posites are a def. cop. idk if any one peped out that Wale had purple avengers on @ his perfomance..you can barely tell though.
Can’t we all just get along? lol
I am definitely gonna try and get these in February..Just too nice!
But I strongly disagree about these being better than the Eggplants and Royals.
Wale is theee man!!!
These are a PROBLEM….. GOOD LAAWWDDD… hey G-ROC… got my BO34s today….. wore ‘em 1 hr later…LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL…. DS for an hr… LOL
Wale goes too hard wit them foams.
DMV been rockin foams and goadomes way before weak NY.
yall NYC boys always super fake.
thas why DC dont and will never f*ck wit yall.
Tre B I peeped that…I was trying to see what everyone was rocking…Fab rocked chucks instead of those weak Rbks.
G-roc where is the celebrity sole coverage from the awards??? I’m sure you got it in the works
NYC runs everything, we make anything hot, hotter. That why we are considered the fashion capital unlike DMV.

I’M FROM NY, AND YEAH, BEING INTO FASHION IS KINDA IN OUR BLOOD, BUT DAMN, THE CITY COPS NEED TO SHOOT ANYONE STILL ROCKIN’ A BLUE YANKEES FITTED AND TIMBERLANDS ON SITE…..SHIT’S GOTTA BE THE MOST PLAYED OUT LOOK OF THE PAST DECADE, AND IT’S STILL THE UNIFORM OF CHOICE FOR WAY TOO MANY NY’ERS.
am95connoisseur aka 4daloveofdasneekz WHERE’D YOU GET THE BO34′S?!?!?! I’M DYING OVER HERE…..CANNOT GET EM……I’M ABOUT TO HAVE AN ANEURISM TRYING TO GET MY FEET IN THOSE THINGS…..
it is in fact that NYC runs everything. u think nike markets to small towns and unknown cities? i dont think so…y do u think most of the collabo’s nike has done with has been with people from larger and more popular cities?? For example, the pigeon dunk. so keep talkin ya sh!t..as cocky as i or other new yorkers may sound. it is what it is so deal with it.
I dont know why all these DC,B more cats cryin about who started rockin them first, cause cats Up North especially Boston,NY,NJ,Philly areas been rockin Nike Boots since like the early 90s when ACG fisrt came out, back then you didnt have Tims, you damm sure had some Nike Boots for real for real, and we been on the Foamposite Tip since day one, soo please stop it please.

Like i already said, i speak what is real, not that fantasy bullshit. My brother lives in soundview so i be in both cities like that. Niggas is fakin point blank, 05′ ny niggas was calling my foams moon shoes whole time i’m laughing at them bammas.
Yooo DCrunsit, thats bullshit cause niggas was rockin Foams in NY before 05, now maybe the way you had them on, made them look like moon shoes.
YOOOOO! The Foamposite Land debate can continue here. http://theshoegame.com/articles/foamposite-land-debate-dc-vs-nyc.html
It would be hard to argue NYC has been and still is, albeit not like years prior, a fashion trendsetter. Truth be told I would go visit family in CT and NY and they just couldn’t understand why I was rockin Goadomes and New Balance 992’s. Those along with the Foams are unequivocally DC or DMV(DC-PG County-Northern VA) I gotz luv for my cousins and uncles up north but in my eyes they dressin like str8 bammaz(not quite like down south tho) We got luv tho for NY, Philly etc but u gotta understand DC is like an island…we tend to do us and not what other folks are doing across da country. Got our own music, own, slang, own style. Only now thanks to Wale and a few other DC representaz are people across the country starting to see it…but please don’t try to copy cus unless you from da DC Metro area you aint gonna get it right.
wales gettin kinda fat lol. but dem is so sweet.
so sexy (the foams), still got luv for Wale though
WHAT A FAGGOT SKIPPING HIS UGLY ASS OUT ON STAGE!! WONDER WHY THE REST OF THE COUNTRY DOESNT PICK UP ON THAT!!!!!
Wale is mad fly i want thoes.
Lets start a shoe beef, then all link up and kill each other…yall bammas silly as shit mann!!!.. Dem joints like dat…fuck who wore em 1st or who wear em da most. If you fukz wit em and dey sold out in your area, then come to da district and scoop em’ cuz we gon have plenty for errrybody. If you dont fukz witem’…kick rocks. too efffin eazy!!!!

Lol, NYC cats always trying to take credit for shit…just like in the 90’s when they said they started the Timberland trend…sorry fool’s that was DC, look that shit up. Cats in DC rock the Nike boots, ACG’s and foams hard for a long time.
