Nike Air Foamposite “Eggplant”
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Aug 14, 2008 Lately Nike has been using classic colors from one model and transferring them to another great making something memorable. Up to the plate next year is the Nike Air Foamposite that borrows its look from the “Eggplant” Nike Air Flightposite. Another feature of this pair that created instant internet buzz was the return of the clear sole to the sneaker. Some of you may remember the Nike Air Foamposite that was supposed to have translucent lime green soles, but the final retail version came with a disappointing solid rubber bottom.
Look for these to hit stores in February for $200. We will keep you updated if the release changes. Photos from Sneaker News taken by Chris Vidal. |

We’ll buy a lot of clothes but we don’t really need em
The things we buy to cover up what’s inside
Cause they made us hate ourself and love they wealth
That’s why shorties holler, “Where the ballers at?”
Drug dealers buy Jordans, crackheads buy crack
And the white man get paid off of all a dat…. -KANYE WEST

Man, I never understood the hype with these. The Orlando blue/black ones are the nicest but this shoe doesn’t make my mouth water. I heard these are tremendous hoop shoes, tho! Maybe I will copp if I can get some sort of a discount. We’ll see………
