Some of you may have heard the news by now about how the release date for the Copper Foamposite One has been delayed. G-Roc from TheShoeGame originally posted the info which quickly spread throughout the forums and blogs.
At this time we don’t know much about why the release date was changed, or when exactly the sneakers will be released. Alls we know is that they won’t be coming out on the 13th as originally planned and that no new date has been set in stone yet.
Since the news surfaced earlier today numerous theories as to why the release has been pushed back have surfaced. There are reports that it has something to do with Penny, and the fact that his contract with Nike is up and they are waiting for him to sign his name on the dotted line again before release the sneakers which consist of his trademarked logos. There are also rumors that it has something to do with the Air Jordan 2010 and the fact that the sneakers are set to release on February 13th, the same day as the Copper Foams, and that Nike wouldn’t dare release a pair of Foams on the same day as the Air Jordan 2010 as it’s believed the Foams would instantly kill any sort of sales possible for the Air Jordan. Whether or not any of those rumors are true we don’t know. It’s all speculation right now folks.
Another rumor we heard, which we thought was pretty funny is that the Foams have been delayed cause a major snowstorm is expected in the DC metro area. We know Foams are major in DC, but does Nike really base their releases around the forecast of one specific area? Think about all the times you may have camped out during snowstorms or downpours. It just doesn’t seem logical to use that a snowstorm in the DMV would have anything to do with a release date change.
Once we hear more about this we will be sure to keep you posted, until then your best bet is to call your local retailers requesting to know more. If your in fear your not gonna be able to get a pair, or simply just don’t wanna wait any longer swing through eBay to scoop a pair up through one of the auctions.
I like these in blue a little bit better.
when will these really come out i want a pair and niggas dont know when they release these are gonna be a bigger thing then the space jam release of dec. 23,2009 malls are gonna be packed i cant wait for the release and the snow storms arent holdin me or any other sneakerheads from gettin em.penny has to hurry
it IS because of the snostorm. here in da DMV we all here stuck in da house and cant go noware to cop no kicks. da snowstorm is also da reason why finishline released da motorsport 6′s as an ONLINE EXCLUSIVE only release
@Britt – A reason as to why they aren’t being released hasn’t been confirmed. Everybody just has their own theories at this time. I personally can’t believe a snowstorm in the DMV now has anything to do with delaying a nationwide release, however I can’t confirm that so your theory is just as valid as mine.
Finishline had no intentions of releasing the Motorsport 6′s as an online exclusive. They were forced to due to the snow storm which put a delay on shipments. It was a last minute decision made a few hours before the midnight release. They were originally gonna let them ship to distributors, and have them just arrive sometime next week, but they opted to do an online exclusive release about 6hrs before Midnight so they could get the sneakers to all who wanted them.
Unfortunately their site crashed, again, and a lot of people missed out, again, just like they did with the Space Jams.
