Drop Details: Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Gradient Soles’
Famously laced by Penny Hardaway in 1997, the still carries with it all the future-forward DNA that made it a hit on and off the court in the late 90s.
Designed by Eric Avar, the Foamposite smashed the mould for basketball silhouettes of the era, the original design taking more than three years to develop. Taking cues from protective sunglasses cases, the Foamposite was later adjusted to suit Tim Duncan.
Now, the Foamposite is making a return in 2021, the Foamposite One ‘Gradient Soles’ iteration composed in black, ‘Team Royal’, and ‘Team Orange’. A Foam shell and black leather uppers add classic textures to the silhouette, while the translucent sole again reinforces its interstellar aesthetic.
Look for the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Gradient Soles’ to release on March 24. The price tag is locked at $230.
