With the upcoming release of the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ stirring up a level of hysteria not experienced in quite a while, many sneakerheads have embarked on a week-long camping trip in front of House of Hoops locations nationwide. 21 Mercer, which is confirmed for a release this Friday, avoided the release night eve fiasco by handing out wristbands on Monday, attracting a mass crowd within minutes of publicizing the info on Twitter. Many sneakerheads, however, could not bear the campouts or crowds and relied on luck when the Galaxy was to hit Nikestore, but here’s the bad news; Nikestore has confirmed via Twitter that they will not release the Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ online. Are they making this an in-store release, allotting stock to other locations, or trying to avoid another episode of midnight-release madness (see: Air Jordan IV ‘White/Cement’)? With Nikestore out of the running (House of Hoops locations and other select Nike Sportswear accounts will receive them), it’s time for y’all to start preparing soon, because this just might be the most chaotic release of the year.

#ReleaseUpdate. Due to extremely limited quantities, we will not be launching the “Galaxy” Foamposite One at NikeStore online
THIS IS THE BULLSHIT I'M TALKING ABOUT, FUCK NIKE, I'M DONE!
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:51 am
fucking PISSED! why would you pull this shit 2 days before the release and after the retail locations gave out wristbands!!!! wtf nike NDC^ (Nike Doesn't Care)
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:51 am

February 22nd, 2012 at 12:52 am
Disappointed AS FUCK!
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:53 am
My thing is this tho. They're trying to avoid the meltdown they had with the Cement 4 release BUT one they're a billion dollar corporation that can't handle web traffic??? Facebook has 500,000,000 users yet still NEVER crashes! Two, they are STILL releasing THREE other highly sought after shoes. This makes absolutely no sense and I honestly believe they did this just to drive more traffic to stores and get news headlines when people get killed for these. FREE MARKETING! It's all about the money! Nike is worse than a reseller…
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:56 am
WOW!! REALLY NIKE.. THIS IS HOW YA GETTING DOWN!??! IM REALLY GETTING FED UP WITH NIKE
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:57 am
Instead of them releasing them online they give em to DK so they can rape at $700 a pair, BS
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:57 am
Well good luck those who's coppin this !!
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:57 am
which is worse chaos at the store or servers overloading lol i swear heads of companies have the least common sense
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:57 am
This truly is shitty news for the ones that didn't want to resell. Let's be honest.
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:57 am
It's going to be concord chaos release all over again!!!
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:57 am
Damn….. good thing im not into foamposites like that and my options (besides one) is not hyped up
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:01 am
This is ridiculous! Bull**** Wtf is wrong with NIKE?
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:06 am
Thats some bullshit!!! Now u got to wait outside for those kicks, now I pass!!! Thats some shit!!!
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:06 am
I just knew nike was gonna do this from the start so I didn't get my hopes up like I did with the nerfs. WTF nike
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:09 am
Nike is getting out of hand… As loyal customers we should not have to deal with sh** like this!
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:12 am
really doe
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:13 am
hey nike….. make some more shooz next time jeez..
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:16 am
lol…I knew I didn't have chance from the start…this isn't bullshit though, let the campers get em…they're the ones that are working for em.
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:19 am

BURR BURR BURRRRRRRR!!! GUCCI SWAAGGGG
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:39 am
im glad i dont buy foams
February 22nd, 2012 at 2:03 am
I agree 100% with you
February 22nd, 2012 at 2:21 am
CRY. BABY. CRY. BABY
February 22nd, 2012 at 2:27 am
Nike doesn't care about the consumer………it always has and always will be that way. I don't even live near a store front that will even have these……..thanks Nike, you show no loyalty
February 22nd, 2012 at 3:21 am
there's a petition going against nike right now on YouTube under "Team Nike Boycott or Petition" … I wished SneakerNews report that instead of hyping up some dude's ebay auction.
February 22nd, 2012 at 3:22 am
look i don't want these and didn't want them but i really feel for the people who did… Nike that's fucked up.
February 22nd, 2012 at 3:23 am
gtfo. I'd actually love to see anyone straight up 'quit' some Nike. You're not "done" with Nike. In the words of Chris Tucker …. "and you know this, maaaaaann."
At least get involved and sign the "Team Nike Boycott or Petition" on Youtube.
February 22nd, 2012 at 3:53 am
I'm literally LAUGHING MY FUKIN ASS OFF AT YOU NIKE HEADS HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAa
February 22nd, 2012 at 3:54 am
i dont get the hype for these. They are the stupidest looking foams ever
February 22nd, 2012 at 4:12 am
I'll stop this look for other better things to do. nike is sick
February 22nd, 2012 at 4:31 am
yo y'all need to chill. like legit lol. Not the end of the fucking world. Go line up or something. If this is a way for Nike to do free marketing…its fucking genius really. At the end of the day Nike is just another company just trying to maximize their profits and if you are all to dumb to realize that by now then u must not pay close attention to the quality level in their shoes lately. You all are saying how pissed you are at Nike and oh Nike I'm so done with you…..lol who the fuck are you all kidding, you guys are still gonna line up for some jordans or other hyped releases, y'all aint just gonna randomly decide to stop. Stop tripping…its a dope shoe and u still have a chance to get them. stop crying on a fucking website that no one from Nike will see and go find a way to get the shoes another way that doest require u sitting on ur ass looking at a fucking computer screen.
February 22nd, 2012 at 5:38 am
Lol clam down people, it's not like you gonna get a pair anyways when it's that limited….it's not worth getting their website crashed because millions of people are try to get something that pretty much doesn't exist because they are so limited. By them cancelling the online release means more pairs for the locations like 21 mercers. Really you think you gonna be able to get a pair before those computer geeks get them? The site would crash instantly.
February 22nd, 2012 at 5:45 am
Smoove move mike smfh
February 22nd, 2012 at 6:07 am
if you have a wristband do you need to sign or something when you get it?
February 22nd, 2012 at 6:29 am
Rotfl. Lol.
February 22nd, 2012 at 6:39 am
Wuz neva coppin regardless… No grown man should have shoes dat glow n da dark. Anyone ova 25 wit these should slap themselves. Get ur mind right n ur money up… Bottega Veneta's grown man status.
February 22nd, 2012 at 7:08 am
You know what I say… LET THE RESELLERS KEEP EM. Let em keep raising prices doesn't matter if they wont sel! I remember seeing concords for $900 on RD, none of that shit now. IF Y'ALL DONT BUY INTO THE HYPE THE BUBBLE WILL POP. Do you control Nike with your dollars or do they control you with their kicks?.
February 22nd, 2012 at 8:27 am
I'll trade u my neighbor's dog for your foams
February 22nd, 2012 at 8:36 am
FUCK NIKE THEY CAN SMD FOR THIS SHIT REALLY 2 DAYS BEFORE RELEASE WOW -___-
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:31 am
ur an asshole…maybe there isnt a house of hoops near this dude..like me i have no shot now that its not dropin online..u should go somewhere else and spread ur hate…we all fam in this forum…you are the retarded cousin we only see at funerals!!
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:56 am
I don't understand why they do that. If they make more they'd get more money. Nike is just doing this on purpose. Good luck to anyone who gets them. I'ma try to camp, probably going to be like the concords but worse.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:29 am
exactly…you don't like it..but you will still continue to buy overpriced, overhyped shoes….so stop kidding yourselves.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:35 am
This sucks to everybody that has a life. Even if i tried camping out today i would be out of luck. Dudes been camping out since Saturday like really? Get a fucking life or maybe sell me the sneakers at a good fucking price !
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:36 am
I'm still not sure why the hype is so big on these. You could cop two pairs of the other ASG kicks for the price of the Foams. Plus, now NikeStore can have less people blowing up the servers for when the ASG Kobes drop.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:42 am
make that a billion, not 500,000,000
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:43 am
fuck you all losers i already got 5 pairs of them…. smd hoes
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:52 am
I want these and wanted to try my luck online , but I guess not. Im not beat for camping out a week prior to a release. Most of the people in line are just going to DS and resell them to people who actually want to wear them. It's a shame because no is going to stop buying sneakers after some bullshit like this *shrugs* And foams are $220 now. So I might pass on foams period.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:53 am
It's about breaking necks. The same reason some drive a ferrari when a honda will get them to the same place.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:58 am
Got my ticket
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:02 am
Why are these shoes so over-hyped?
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:02 am
If you really want nike to hook you up, open a etrade accout buy shares of nike. As of 2/22/11 it is $105 a share alot less than what you pay for any retro's and everytime nike goes up it's money in your pocket. The stock symbol is NKE. Also when you own a share of nike you also own a share or JB. Be Like Mike and watch your stock go every time the retro's sell out.
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:05 am
nike your fucking up….
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:08 am
Then y your fat even comment stfu cause you don't really know what it means for an actually foam person
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:15 am
Shoe's ugly anyway. Can't believe people are going so insane over these Elton John shoes.
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:19 am
I personally think it's hilarious no one except the dude with the wristband is going to get them anyways Nike doesn't care that y'all are sitting here crying, they'll take your money on the 12's 4's 14's 6's 7's and the 7000 other sick ass releases they have coming out this year. You're all just crying because you aren't having them spoon fed to you and is SO UNFAIRRRRRR… it's not 5th grade basketball anymore, not everyone gets a trophy lmao
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:24 am
They could solve this issue by just making a couple extra 1000 pairs so everyone can copp
February 22nd, 2012 at 11:52 am
I been over this release 2 weeks ago and I wouldn't dare pay a stack for a pair of shoes! That's a month or two of releases. I know its messed up but what are you going to do? Rock reezigs or something? We'll get the next pair. Sheesh buy some clothes or something!
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:07 pm
i dont think so..more pairs will be released than the Galaxy foams.
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:11 pm
i know lol. dudes are really salty about this galaxy shitt. if you want em that bad either plan out to do hardbody camping or pay a stack.
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:12 pm
wouldnt have mattered anyway
February 22nd, 2012 at 12:29 pm
Please go to youtube and search for Team Nike Boycott or Petition. Sign the petition cuz this is some BULLSHIT. It aint just this release. It seems now EVERY retro or foamposite release is unattainable for retail now. It seems like the only way to get sneakers now is to camp out for hours, or in this case DAYS, or you have to pay a reseller. This is the ONLY product that I know of in any business that you have to do this. Even Apple restocks new iPhone and iPads, so you can wait and cop if you don't wanna camp out. Nike is alienating its consumers and making resellers who don't even like the shoes rich. Im fed up with this shit and I might be done with Nike and Jordan. This is coming from a sneakerhead since 91'.
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:01 pm
Exactly what? I buy whatever I think is nice on me. I don't campout at every releases and I hunt for deals. And I'm not delusional like many people who think they will be able to cop a pair at retail. I'm more realistic and I have priories. The only reason for me to get these is for my brother who is studying Physics and Astronomy but when I found out that they are super limited I backed off because I don't want to kill anyone or kill my wallet for a damn pair of shoes. I think it's kinda funny how you are judging me base off of one post, since when are you a psychologist? maybe you should stop kidding YOURSELF.
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:03 pm
No disrespect to anyone but this is fukced up for people who have lives. And it's sad to say that this adds on more to the hype, and I predict at least 5 people will get either killed or injured for these. Whether it be on the line, after they get em, or while trying to sell them in a meet up. Sad world we live in, for sneakers that cost at most 40 $ to make.
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:04 pm
Nike is doing these things on purpose fam..another outlet for the youth to start violence and death. That's what big corporations like…It's crazy man.ppl dying over SHOES?? Really though smh hell naw I'm good.
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I don't know if you should buy them now because they at their all time high….it's gonna drop soon
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:07 pm
also releases don't really affect the price of the stock, check out the graph yourself
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:14 pm
if someones gets shot or injured nike should be responsible. i hope they get a law suit if anyone gets hurt. this release is gonna cause complete mayhem
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:47 pm
I never saw a wild thing
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself.
Meaning? How does this bullshit poem apply?
You are sneakerheads, you know the game, you helped create the game. It is the masses of you that cause instant sellouts and drive the reseller market. You created the demand and are contributors to the violence and chaos that erupts at release events. So why complain about the very game you helped create?
Either be a beast and GET your shoe, or sit down quietly and acquiesce to the next man who decides to do what you won't.
February 22nd, 2012 at 1:57 pm
Lol this guy^ will you die without these shoes?
February 22nd, 2012 at 2:23 pm
It's not actually about the releases but the profit from those releases that are reported months later and with the Nike ID going strong it will go up. Lets say you were able to buy a pair of concords for the $180 retail and you buy a 2 shares for $105 each in 20 years which will you be able to sell for more most likely the stock beacuse only a sneaker collector will buy those concords off of you but Nike will be legally obligated to buy the stock back at the current market price. Investing is long term remember when experts were saying that Apple will not go above $150? That why Micheal Jordan has stock options with JB. They don't pay him in sneakers. Not wrinting this to insult anyones intelligence on trading. Respect for all!
February 22nd, 2012 at 2:28 pm
But at least a Ferrari looks badass unlike these c'mon now smh
February 22nd, 2012 at 2:44 pm
why do i get the feeling there are going to get more resaler sellers selling them,
then at the store i just called house of hoopz in los angeles they said they only have 12 pairs.ive never seen this before
February 22nd, 2012 at 3:24 pm
No they shouldn't. Sneaker news don't publish anything about some damn Nike Pegasus 29's that come out this year because everyone can get em. They are limited editions for a reason. If they made 12,000 pairs they wouldn't be the release they are
February 22nd, 2012 at 7:02 pm
I feel that. Just bought some Pradas and some Gucci sneakers for the same price as the Concords resale
February 22nd, 2012 at 8:58 pm
Sick of fake b*tch a** steve harvey ni&&as trying to police other ppls swagg. Dude, if you so f#cking grown why the f$ck are you d#ck riding the forum posting comments on kicks you too grown for? If you think a name brand or a pair of shoes that cost over a rack make you grown you aint grown at all. talking all that shit and you probably live at home with ya moms lol
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:00 pm
ill sell my concords still in the box for them
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:09 pm
NIIICE get ya $$$$ for those pressed for these things….. hahaha. Lets c how many posers will empty out their accounts for these . The resellers are ecstatic bout this info.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:42 pm
Lol@ freshflyflashy. I be on that same shit.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:44 pm
im sure he'll live lol
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:50 pm
Ok so if wristbands are called for already at spots…….. were are the pairs that were scheduled to release online going???……. if you read, "Are they making this an in-store release, allotting stock to other locations, or trying to avoid another episode of midnight-release madness"………
Drake voice…. "say something baby"
Nike u acting up right now dog…..shit aint cool…… u going be seeing stars!
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:55 pm
i just signed. stop the violence and crazy resell of kicks.
February 22nd, 2012 at 9:59 pm
Another reason why its so hard to cop shoes is because sneakernews revealed at least 45 shoe sites last year smfh. Now, every time I go on 'em the shoes I could've copped sold out in a blink of an eye. -____-
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:01 pm
I know right? That's why the sneaker game is practically over lol. Don't be surprised if this story hits the news media lol.
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:15 pm
How the hell do you maximize profits, when you dont make enough shoes that are definitly going to sell?
February 22nd, 2012 at 10:22 pm
I think we as a community need to come together using one of these sneaker site to voice the opinion of the people to Nike. The not enough for everyone crap has to end. There are actual deaths and brutal beatings because of quickstrikes. I mean come on NIKE people are dying.
February 23rd, 2012 at 7:22 am
Thinking about giving up my family and business so I can drive 5 hours and camp outside for a week just so I have a shot at getting some shoes. Thank you Nike for making it easy to enjoy something I love.
February 23rd, 2012 at 7:49 am
if you believe that short the stock or go long on puts
February 23rd, 2012 at 9:30 am
Man I just wanted them just cause. All this Sht is outrageous! First time I wanted shoes this tough, but it's not worth it. To all who still believe there are a few international house of hoops. When they don't sell these shoes a few pairs will come to America like Eddie Murphy! Lol! Camping for shoes Yu either not going to wear or get stuck up for I'm Gucci! Nothing is limited with Nike they'll come out again. Just be ready, but for those who are n school, have a "real job", or a life sorry. Nike some pimps……hustle n flow game! To resellers watch y'all asses Yu will get hit for them thangs too! Think a person goin spend car payments, rent money, or mortgage on shoes kill ya self, but some might. This shts crazy……aw well now I have my Friday back……
February 23rd, 2012 at 10:41 am
Ha ha ha I got 2 pairs on lock gotta put in wrk if u want something
February 23rd, 2012 at 11:58 am
I have a pair of galaxy foams sz 13 and need to trade for 11.5 or 12 if anyone wants to trade hit me up on twitter @wesphilly06 or email w-mitchell@hotmail.com
I wear my sneakers and if your a reseller who has like 8 pair and can meet up somewhere near philly i will greatly appreciate it.
February 23rd, 2012 at 1:02 pm
You cant if wristbands were already given out
February 23rd, 2012 at 3:01 pm
do HoH do wristbands?
February 23rd, 2012 at 4:06 pm
True, but facebook doesnt have 500,000,000 people clicking the same link at the same time. I'm sure if every member of facebook let alone half went to visit the sameeeee profile, they'd crash to. cut them some slack, no company's website can hold up that well when you have a world of sneakerheads trying to click the same link. I mean look how many people liked your post, and thats not even 1% of the people who would have been on NDC that night….
February 24th, 2012 at 1:17 am
I'll die for this shit!!!!! Lol
February 24th, 2012 at 4:08 am
They do this to maintain hype.
Fuckers.
March 20th, 2012 at 6:27 pm
yalll be tlking…..anyways these are nice shoes peace !!
