Foams win this whole part of the bracket
March 17th, 2010 at 8:14 pm
Messing with my emotions with the AM95/Griffey Max pick… AM90/Foam wasn’t an easy choice either.
AM1 >>> Command Force
Air Trainer 1 >>> Huarache
AM95 >>> Griffey
Foamposite >>> AM90
March 17th, 2010 at 8:14 pm

March 17th, 2010 at 8:44 pm
AM90 vs Foam is a draw. They should have switched matchup #2 with #4.
March 17th, 2010 at 9:02 pm
Foams= G.O.A.T.
March 17th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
I HATE GRIFFEY’S!!! THE MIDSOLE IS THE SIZE OF STRIPPER HEELS!!!
March 17th, 2010 at 9:28 pm
this IS the best bracket. all the matchups are pretty tough decisions. but i think we all know the foams are winning everything here. even though each one of them actually could.

I also have horrible news. The infrared pack will be releasing in July…..but……. sadly,its an INTERNATIONAL release only. I just got off the phone with foot locker and they’ve said its only a european release and i even called NIKE to see if its true and it is. all i have to say is that JB IS PISSING ME OFF.THEY EXCITE US WITH THE NEWS OF AN ALLTIME FAVOURITE LIKE THE INFRARED AND THEN THEY SPIT IN OUR FACE WITH THE NEWS OF IT BEING INTERNATIONAL,THE SAME THING THEY DID LAST YEAR WITH THE TRUE BLUES.
March 17th, 2010 at 11:33 pm
Most competitive braket in the league by far… sbs is over hyped
March 17th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
How are the OG Foams not a #1 Seed???
March 17th, 2010 at 11:45 pm
Griffeys and foamposite one all day son
March 18th, 2010 at 12:19 am
I cannot figure out why people like the foam’s so much! Infrared 90′s are the face of air max. Foams’s are just bulky.
March 18th, 2010 at 12:30 am
Wow shame on every one who didn’t vote Command Force. Air Max is weak show.
March 18th, 2010 at 12:58 am
Foams win against all sbs and forces but they gonna go into overtime vs. any jordans
oh yeah international release or not infared is copped
March 18th, 2010 at 1:27 am
and for all you FOAM heads the Pearl pros are releasing in December.
March 18th, 2010 at 1:37 am

March 18th, 2010 at 9:36 am
all u stupid hypebeast, how the fuck can am1 be over cammand force!!!!!!!
March 18th, 2010 at 10:10 am
that colorway of the foams (dark neon royal) is the most iconic color ever except air maxes and jordans
only competition for the foams is
winner of neon 95′s/ griffey matchup (this bracket)
Supreme hi’s and lo’s (S.B. Bracket)
infared 6′s, spacejam 11′s, o.g. bred 12′s and 13′s (Jordan a.k.a. the bracket of doom)
March 18th, 2010 at 11:16 am

Damnn..I’m pissed that tha infrared pack is an international release..
And suggestions where or how I can pick it up??
March 18th, 2010 at 11:21 am
Command forces are waaaayyy better than airmax 90s….both the am95s and 95s are better than 90s so how can they be better than command forces…??? bunch of idiots
March 18th, 2010 at 11:22 am
Air max 95s over griffeys???? OMG
March 18th, 2010 at 12:59 pm
no; as far as style goes foamposites are hideous its the hype that surrounded them that made them so popular today so actually foamposite = HYPEBEASTS 4 YEARZ space jams are actually clean unfortunately they try to rape your wallet for some sub-par quality made for TV sneakers.
March 18th, 2010 at 1:24 pm
AM1 and AT1 are the shoes that made Nike what they are today…
March 18th, 2010 at 1:37 pm
The Air Command Force has never been retroed so why would i pick this???? cuz i saw it on Woody Harrelson’s feet on white men can’t jump???? HELL NOOOOO!!! u just dont pick a shoe u don’t own or even saw it in person that’s being a poser and a fake person! that’s a classic but u just don’t do that!!! u gotta wear the shoe to know if it’s good sneaker or not that’s obviously… so Air Max 1 / Air Trainer 1 / Air Max 95 / Foamposite 1 !!!!!
March 18th, 2010 at 3:39 pm

infrared n foamposites good match infrareds all the way though
March 18th, 2010 at 5:32 pm
what happned to the air mags? back to the fitire the original hyper dunk
March 18th, 2010 at 6:26 pm
what’s the story beyond command forces? you saw them in a movie? how could you compare them to AM1, a shoe that means so much, and say that AM1 is just hype and gots nothing on command forces, you serious?
and what are those ugly foamposite doing here? did anyone notice that they got nothing to do with the other shoes?
the hardest for me to chose was the 2nd, aesthetically I prefer the huarache but i voted for the trainer because of how revolucionary that shoe was and all of his meaning
March 18th, 2010 at 8:10 pm
GRIFFEY’S N 95′S FIRST ROUND DATS CRAZY BUT GRIFFEY’S ALL DAY HOMIE
March 18th, 2010 at 9:55 pm
The HUARACHES should have been high tops they way colder high top
March 19th, 2010 at 5:34 am
how can a foamposite beat a air max 90??? thats bullsh..!
i grew up in the 80′s and there was no better sneaker than the am90 infrared period!
March 19th, 2010 at 6:37 am
i gottem all right.
March 19th, 2010 at 10:20 am
Foams are my fav… But I loooooove griffys!
March 19th, 2010 at 11:31 am
foams killing it but just don’t do it for me at all
March 19th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
This bracket is incredibly tough, the foams seem to be the favorite , but the griffey’s and infrared 90′s could just as easy be winner s also
