SNEAKER REVIEW - AIR FOAMPOSITE ONE "ROYAL"

Here we have a retro of the original foamposite one colorway.  The OG's dropped in 1997, re-released in 2007 and again in 2011.  All of the drops of the Royal Blue foamposite ones are sought after to varying degrees and command more than retail.

YEAR OF RELEASE:  2011
MATERIALS: The entire upper is foamposite material except for the suede on the eyelets and toebox.  The outsole is a combination of clear, black, blue, white and carbon fiber.
COMES WITH:  Black oval laces.
STREET VALUE: $225-250
FIT: These are somewhat snug and stiff at first but will eventually break in and mold to the foot to create a comfortable fit.
CARE:  As long as you don't scuff the uppers and clean the clear outsole after every wear, these should stay as fresh as possible.  The soles will eventually yellow on these but there's little that can be done to prevent this.  I copped my pair from deadstockshoes.com!
