The Nike Air Foamposite One broke the mold for basketball sneaker design when it debuted in 1997. Marketed as a Penny Hardaway signature shoe, the bold design wasn’t originally intended for him, but when he saw the eye-catching sneaker in a bag of Nike designer Eric Avar’s samples, Hardaway declared it had to be his next shoe. The Foamposite One features a construction that’s still futuristic-looking today, built with a molded polyurethane upper that takes on a liquid appearance. Inspired by a protective sunglasses case, the Foamposite One took more than three years for the Nike design team to develop. With a Foamposite upper that shapes to the wearer’s foot and offers excellent support and durability, the full-length Zoom Air adds dynamic cushioning below. Originally released in a vibrant, iridescent, royal blue colorway with a clear outsole, the unorthodox Foamposite One quickly became a hit on both the court and the streets.
