Nike<\/strong> continues to push the envelope with one the most recognizable technologies the brand has ever created. The Foamposite<\/strong> demanded attention, whether loved or hated, since its inception, and continues to be the product of Nike’s forward thinking in regard to design. Lately, the Foamposite has become more graphic, but when did this trend start? Take a look at our chronological history of printed Foamposites and see how the trend has evolved.<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite Lite “Kryptonate”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: March 2009<\/p>\n

Although not as heavily marked as some of the most recent Foam releases, the “Kryptonate” Lite was the first Foamposite to feature any kind of imprint on its shell. Nate Robinson’s surprise wear of this Foamposite Lite in the 2009 Slam Dunk Contest undeniably solidified this shoe as one of the first extremely hyped Foamposite releases, along with the “Eggplant” Foams that released a month prior.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: February 2012<\/p>\n

And then there was this. The success and frenzy that surrounded the “Galaxy” Foamposite is seemingly why the “printed” Foamposite is relevant and significant today. Nike struck gold by implementing a starry, intergalactic pattern on the Foamposite shell that resembled nothing before it. Arguably one of the most sought-after shoes ever, the “Galaxy” Foamposite was not only representative of a single, iconic moment in time, but the shoe also truly set a trend considering the look of Foamposites that followed.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite One “ParaNorman”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: August 2012 (Giveaway)<\/p>\n

The “Paranorman” Foamposite marked the second highly-favored Foamposite of 2012, yet, this pair was even more super limited than the “Galaxy” Foamposite. Available only through the #WeirdWins contest and subsequent charity auctions, this Foamposite only increased the desire for printed Foams, and its portrayal of green flames rising from the translucent sole is something we never witnessed on a Foamposite before it surfaced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Total Air Foamposite Max “Current Blue”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: October 2012<\/p>\n

Dynamic prints don’t initially come to mind when you think about the Total Air Foamposite Max and its ties to Tim Duncan, one of the most even-keeled sneaker endorsers ever. Yet, 2012’s retro rendition featured a speckled fade pattern on the midsole that extended to the heel panel right below the hologram.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Zoom Rookie “Galaxy”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: November 2012<\/p>\n

Nine months after the “Galaxy” Foamposite’s release, Nike gave birth to another solar system-like print on the Zoom Rookie model. Although nicknamed the same, the “Galaxy” Rookie featured a darker Galaxy-inspired color scheme on the heel and toe than that seen on its predecessor.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite One “Fighter Jet”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: February 2013<\/p>\n

A year after the “Galaxy” Foams release, Nike followed suit with another marked upper on a Foam in the form of the “Fighter Jet” Foamposite. Multiple shades of grey and black come together in a camouflage print pattern. To coincide with the pattern, Nike incorporated\u00a0impressive details, such as the military-inspired symbols and hangtags, plus a black and red carbon fiber plate.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Barkley Posite Max “Area 72”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: February 2013<\/p>\n

Equipped with Raygun branding, glow-in-the dark features, and reflective attributes, the Nike Barkley Posite Max “Area” 72 was undoubtedly one of Nike’s most exciting releases of the first quarter. The shoe’s Foamposite shell was unique in its use of a glittery, reflective meteoric design that mimiced a true outer space-like feel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Barkley Posite Max “Suns”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: May 2013<\/p>\n

As a nod to Barkley’s Godzilla alter ego, a scaly, dragon-like application was applied to the “Suns” Barkley Posite Max’s Foamposite shell. The scale-like graphic is spaced out around the toe area, but gets narrower around on the heel panel.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Army Camo”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: June 2013<\/p>\n

True camouflage colors on top of a gum bottom were incorporated on the Foamposite months after the aforementioned “Fighter Jet” Foams released. The “Army Camo” Foamposite Pro, set in a mixture of green, black, brown and tan, retailed at the price of $250 – higher than any other Foamposite Pro release.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite One “Weatherman”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: August 2013<\/p>\n

It seems as if the “Weatherman” Nike Zoom KD IV gave birth to this Foamposite, rather than the Galaxy Foams. Nonetheless, it’s one of the clearest, most graphic Foams ever created. A Doppler Radar imprint on a Foamposite? Players were hesitant to wear the Foamposite 16 years ago when it was colored in blue…now look at it.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Hyperposite “Raspberry Red”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: September 2013<\/p>\n

A number of Hyperposites, such as the Statue of Liberty and NYC pairs, feature unique imprints on the Fuse sections of this high-tech model, but the recently released Raspberry Red Hyperposite is the only colorway that actually features a pattern on the ‘posite shell. A unique\u00a0paint splatter design of two shades of pink give the shoe style unlike any other of its kind.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite One “Thermal Map”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: September 2013<\/p>\n

Yet another loud, graphic Foamposite is upon us. The “Thermal Map” Foamposite, which releases this Saturday, September 28, feature a pixelated, splotch design that, along with the Weathermans, looks like nothing else on the market.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite One “Safari”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: N\/A<\/p>\n

Safari print will never fade away. We’ve seen it on timeless Nike silhouettes, such as the Air Trainer 1, the Air Max 1, the Dun,k and we will soon see it hit shelves on another classic, the Foamposite One. Decked out in a safari graphic from head to toe, this Foamposite pushes the limit for what can be applied to the ‘Posite shell in the future. Anyone up for zebra stripes?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike ACG Zoom MW Posite “Camo”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: September 2013<\/p>\n

Nike ACG’s latest silhouette, the Zoom MW Posite, makes uses of the favorable shell all while being supported with Nike Flywire. An intriguing camouflage upper, mostly consisting of green, dresses the ‘posite section in uniquely-shaped strands as opposed to the typical splotches seen on most camouflage-laced uppers, such as the previously seen “Army Camo” Foamposite Pro.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Asteroid”<\/h3>\n

Released<\/strong>: N\/A<\/p>\n

Could this sneaker eventually be considered the “Galaxy” Foamposite 2.0? The “Asteroid” Foam Pro is just as wild, if not wilder than the Galaxy Foamposite with its gradient upper that resembles trailing streamers of dust from the heel to the fiery, comet-like toe. No release date has been announced as of now, but you can expect an otherworldly demand for these when they drop.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
