Another Look at Wale’s “Copper” Nike Air Foamposites
Posted by George Kiel III | Nov 2, 2009
Last week, we showed you a photo of D.C. rapper Wale rocking the Nike Foamposite Copper at the Jay-Z concert in Maryland. The majority of you were overly-excited to see the aforementioned photo and stated that this would be a definite purchase upon its arrival. In an attempt to tease you more (We’re pretty sure this was not his motive), Wale has uploaded a photo of the infamous Foamposite Copper alongside his upcoming album titled Attention Deficit (It releases on November 10th, 2009) on his Twitter account. As evident by the lights and other things in the room, one can assume that Christmas came early for the D.C. rapper. Click here to share with us your thoughts on this sneaker and his upcoming album titled Attention Deficit. |
A Few of Wale's Favorite Things

I passed on the egg plants cause they are purple.. which is the gay national color.. I never have anything in purple or pink.. but thats just me.. you do you.. I am a foam head to the max and will get these for 200 when they hit ATL

idk how i feel about the clear bottom…i think a smoked clear bottom would look MUCH better
btw, Wale sucks and he dresses like a clown
Nov 6, 2009 at 7:47 am

@ Dre
SMH hyestylekid already check’d you….but Wale is one of my fav rappers he’s out of my area and he’s been in the sneaker game for wayyyy to long and get no reconition because pplz like you down him all da time cuz you don’t kno anything about him….He’s heavy on OG kicks….Heavy on SB’s….heavy on nice kicks period…..and he’s too deep in his raps for some pplz to relate….but none the less still a great rapper…Wale is a great rapper in my opinion if you don’t like him…hey everyone won’t like everything….As Kat williams would say “I don’t like flute music” lolz jus cuz u dont like a certin person or music doesn’t mean anything really….but u can’t deny his sneaker collection is effin dumb….he’s one of the biggest sneakerheads in the rap game…n just because the first time you heard about him was when da eggplants came out should tell u he’s obviously in the sneakergame….he’s an up an coming rapper I bet you hear about him a whole lot more now…cuz he stays on celeb shoe stalker n he’s always being talked about now…

Nov 3, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Nov 3, 2009 at 4:38 pm
Downloaded the album and it was wack
Copper foams are dope, those will get copped
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:01 pm
i could make a case about pro’s being better than OG’s but ima just leave it as IMO
Nov 3, 2009 at 3:40 pm
will get the album. i thought i’d get the eggplants too but they didn’t release near me at school. hopefully i will have those coppers since i’m back home.
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:31 pm
Fucc the mixtape…
NYC holds the rap game down
Coppers are tough tho lOl….a must copp
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:18 pm
Those shoes are hot. I have the eggplants, and will be copping these asap. About Wale…dude is hot/ It took me a while but I mess with dude. He talks about three important things….chicks, kicks, and sports. I will be cooping that CD during my planning period next Tuesday. Can we stop tearing people down just because we don’t like their style, music or whatever. I mean damn.
Nov 3, 2009 at 2:08 pm
u make no sense vv
Nov 3, 2009 at 12:52 pm
Dude thinks he can dress good just because he has money. SMH. Not feelin his style. Now he’s usig a shoe to get cred for his album?
Nov 3, 2009 at 12:35 pm
that mixtape goes hArd!
Nov 3, 2009 at 11:34 am
@ Dre SMH u only heard about him when the eggplants dropped cuz thats when he was makin it big in the rap game but he sneaker game has been on point im trynna tell u from seeing him before people outside of DMV knew him nike just started giving him recognition and guess how u get that they just dont give a bum like u recognition its all marketing they know he a sneakerhead and others know so they use him for market shoes is fresh and on point guess u like hating tho
Nov 3, 2009 at 11:22 am
pretty weak using a coveted shoe to boost his album. if he is as good as many on here says he is, he wouldn’t put those 2 together. pretty pathetic, but then again this whole ADHD/twitter generation is.
Nov 3, 2009 at 11:13 am
im coppin these to go with my eggplants!!!
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:46 am
These are proper. It might be a close one between these and the eggplants for my fav foam.
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:23 am
@Cuda
How could you say don’t name them went honestly they have made it big from the area? Don’t forget Trey, Missy, and if you want new artists liten to some of Red Rums stuff. DMV is and always will be here. Wale is the young generations sneaker icon, and he’s been this way for way too long. There are few people, even celebraties that have such a diverse shoe game as him.
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:23 am
SneakermanJapan you be riding dude yo
I can’t call people with endosements sneaker heads
wale is wack and that’s to all think he’s hot .I didn’t hear about him until
the eggplants ,to be honest that’s part of his claim to fame but people like u make wack dudes
hot. The foams are hot like I said before but that’s it no dc rapper no chi town rapper or drizzy rappers
.rap is another topic
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:09 am
NYC <3s foams. Wale is a promising young artist with an undeniable kick game, and it looks like he has become the ambassador of foamposites. Someone said they like the pros better than the OGs, that’s a silly stance to take, you should just get a nike check permanently affixed to your forehead.
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:08 am
@ cuda…..even Pac went to skool out Bmore….even tho he wasn’t born a raised out here he gain alot of his influence from the baltimore skool or preforming arts….
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:03 am
Copper Foams lookin more and more like a must cop.
I see there a lotta haters around, not only on Wale but D.C. as a whole
u don’t like em dat much, y even bother 2 comment??
Wale can rap, pick up a mixtape
“D.C. til my demise, we see da hatin in dey eyes”
Nov 3, 2009 at 10:02 am
but funny thing is he has supremes sb ’s on a sneaker tip i like the way he represents and he been doin it for a minute
Nov 3, 2009 at 9:59 am
first of all yall are retarded if you don’t think wale is a sneakerhead….he def has exclusives and is always in OG kicks….his famous quote “we are always living in the past” in reference to his kicks….I just saw a video of him yesterday with the OG griffeys….OMG beauty at its finest lolz and he also recieves samples from nike…they just send him the shoes…as shown in the picture…I saw him in DC with the eggplants at least a year b4 they came out….He had the eggplant foamadomes last year and I still haven’t seen them in stores…….anyway…both items are a def cop for me…..DMV STAND UP! just to through it n a tease yalll we now have a house of hoops….and CUDA is retarded do some researching the DMV has had tons of artist make it big….from Chris Brown, to Mario, to Trey Songz, Mya…..do some research young blood…..
Nov 3, 2009 at 9:57 am
Wale is wack, the foams hot
and drake is trash. I will not buy two pair cause it’s not that serious
and like most of you I don’t settle to listen to trash like that .
Nov 3, 2009 at 9:56 am
the pearl foam pros were the hottest foamposites to me. i never liked the original’s. Ima need to listen to some of wale’s stuff. I like his swagg but that says nothing about his bars.
Nov 3, 2009 at 9:39 am
cuda
Nov 3, 2009 at 1:19 am
No Hot rappers come out of DC…PERIOD. No Debate. Only Drug dealers and bands. And dont try to claim Chris Brown, Teddy Riley, Neptunes, Timbaland, or the Clipse. Wale is not a trend setter and all his kicks can be bought in any shoe store. Where’s his exclusivity?
: Cuda is the definition of a HYPEBEAST. ur lame kid…. just because he aint got no supreme sb’s or danny supas doesnt mean that he aint got no style. the copper foams is definetly one of the better general releases coming out next year. right next to Jordan 6 infrareds..yelp… -SupremeKickz……ps. any real sneaker head knows its for the love not to impress people… get outtta here….
Nov 3, 2009 at 8:51 am
will buy the cd next tue & 2 pair of coppers &the silver joints next yr foams all day in the dmv……
Nov 3, 2009 at 8:39 am
Well Im def gonna copp these, Im rackin up on 2 pair at that.
Nov 3, 2009 at 7:54 am
CUDA u definitely dont know anything my man u been seein stuff lately they gonna drop in footlocker or whatever but do u get sample sizes right now or recognized by nike i advise u to do a lil more research on him he has a pretty dope sneaker collection before he made it to where he is now…….. and there are some tough rappers from the dc area u will see its a lot of hating on here wale might not be consistent enough but he is pretty solid
Nov 3, 2009 at 7:50 am
He definitely aint the best freshmen out drake would kill him in sales but i wasnt worried bout the album them coppers is tough mite cop the album gotta hear a little bit more of it……..DMV
Nov 3, 2009 at 7:50 am

Nov 3, 2009 at 1:19 am
