In the realm of iconic Nike silhouettes, the Air Foamposite One holds a special place. Noted for its innovative design and the introduction of Foamposite technology, the model has seen numerous revered colorways since its original debut in 1997. One such colorway, the Eggplant, first released in 2009, will return in February 2024.
A black mesh and nubuck upper sets a muted backdrop for the standout varsity purple Foamposite shell. This shell exhibits a captivating iridescent finish, lending a futuristic aesthetic that embodies the Foamposite's innovative nature. As a nod to the Foamposite's basketball roots, Penny Hardaway’s logo is proudly displayed on the heel and tongue, honoring the legendary player who first popularized the silhouette. Further elements include a sturdy black carbon fiber plate and an icy blue semi-translucent outsole.
The Nike Air Foamposite One Eggplant was originally set to release on February 14, 2024. However, after a small delay, they will now drop on February 29 through Nike, SNKRS, and select retailers online and in-store. Coming in full-family sizing, the retail price is set at $240 for men's pairs.
