“Eggplant” Nike Air Foamposite
Posted by George Kiel III | Oct 15, 2008 In the latest issue of Dime Magazine, Washington D.C. rap artist Wale was seen sporting the Eggplant Nike Air Foamposite 1 for a LRG ad. Wale is obviously a Nike fanatic seeing that he made a song called Nike Boots.
This style features the original combination of black and purple on the upper. There were many rumors surrounding this shoe regarding the outsole color. Though lots of sources said it would be solid black, the Eggplant Foamposites Wale had on his feet were clearly translucent (no pun).

These are so hard!!! Wale is killin em’ with the fit!!!
Oct 16, 2008 at 8:53 am
Thats right DMV represent, Those shoes will be sold out first day, no doubt. Yall need to get them WALE mix tapes, then you will see why he gets to where those foams before everybody else.
Oct 16, 2008 at 7:26 am
theose eggplants can go eitherway; chilling or balling. i purchased the all black joints last year and i ball hard on those, INDOORS only!! when i 1st saw the eggplants, i wasn’t feeling rthem at first, mainly because i wasn’t sure if cats would ball in these or wear them to chill. i have a pet peeve for specific basketball sneakers worn solely for chilling. however, in the case of the eggplants, they go either way. and yes, whoever Wale is, the outfoot looks good. but not good enough to want to go and purchase some LRG.

Back in the day I didn’t like foam or flight posites but over the years they have really grown on me! I want these in this colorway and some flights. Good thing these come out next year, better start savin up.
Oct 15, 2008 at 11:14 pm
my boy wale…
one of the best sneaker heads in the industry.
Oct 15, 2008 at 9:59 pm
WOW. I can’t believe they waited so long to cook these up. Quite honestly, I think I like this color better than the original Penny Foam color, and that’s saying a lot.
Oct 15, 2008 at 9:44 pm
So damn beautiful, they are.
Oct 15, 2008 at 9:34 pm

Oct 15, 2008 at 8:44 pm
#14 is right RIP to Jordan on the Dec 26, but I going to get two pairs of the foams
Oct 15, 2008 at 8:34 pm
i am a nike sb guy and i have never owned a foam post but i think these will be my first and only foams that i cop.
Oct 15, 2008 at 8:26 pm
WTF…comment 15 whats the point, if you dont like them why spend 200 bucks on them…SMH at dudes like that…
These are def dope, but I highly doubt nike would be stupid enough to put a black sole on it, if anything it would be grey.
Oct 15, 2008 at 8:24 pm
im already standing in line!!!
Oct 15, 2008 at 8:18 pm
They r fresh. Wale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DMV stand up
Oct 15, 2008 at 7:06 pm

I like the looks of the foams better but imagine the flights would be better for balling. not sure I will get either though.
