Goadome + Foamposite = Nike Air Foamdome
Posted by Matt Halfhill | Oct 12, 2008 Maybe a bit of a coincidence to followup our feature about hybrids, but I think there was a bit destiny!
Nike launched a large scale marketing and product development project last winter centered around the boot market. Across the east coast many hang up their kicks for something designed to handle the harsher, outside elements of winter, but Nike was not ready to let everyone switch away from the swoosh for the season. This winter, the Nike Air Max Goadome will release again in its usual form, but complimenting the staple Nike boot is a hybrid with the Air Foamposite creating the Nike Air Foamdome. Penny fans have had it good for the past two years with the return of the Foamposite in a number of colors, the Penny II, and Penny III on the horizon, but this may be a too much for some purists. Maybe not for everyone (Texas winters never have boots in the forecast except ostrich skin at the steakhouse), this boot definitely speaks to saying that with Nike, “expect the unexpected.” We have heard that these will be in stores starting in late November/early December for $225, but Dave Jeff of PHLI in Chicago was treated to a pair ahead of everyone else. Is this taking things too far? |

Yall are nutz Baltimore has been waiting for this boot for years
shid ill pay $300 for them, if they come out in red hey ill pay $400 if i had to, ive seen a boot similar to this one about ten years ago on Final Fantasy Tactics and thought to myself this would be the only shoe i would ever have to buy, perfect shoe for me.
Dec 28, 2008 at 8:10 pm
yo0o0o0 i got these kicks right here on dis page but the all black 1;s for 150 any size hollaa at mee !! FRESH IN DA BOXX ALL OF THEM !!
Dec 27, 2008 at 10:14 am
yaaaaaaaaaaaaawnnnn…oh for real. I live in VA, so of course I got them black ACGs…I also got about five pairs of AM90 boots chillin in boxes that are about to go to the Salvation Army today. I saw a pic of Wale holding a pair at a show and they looked alright, but those blue ones are sucky (retro word courtesy of Chuck Inglish/Cool Kids). Nike, you need to chill buddy. And u d@mn right I’m late on this posting (late comment but saw these when they were first posted).
Nov 19, 2008 at 8:36 am
Im not crazy about either shoe. However, the black pair look much better.
Nov 18, 2008 at 10:55 am
I think they are nice and they are comfortable too. I have a black pair and thinking of getting the brown ones.Alot of people said they didn’t like when they saw a picture,but once they seen them on my feet they change their outlook on the boots.
Nov 17, 2008 at 9:22 am
THEY GOT THESE AT http://WWW.TYCOONKICKS.COM VERY OFFICIAL
Nov 15, 2008 at 5:18 am
True Goadome heads wouldn’t even ask questions, just break bread like I did. These aren’t for penny-pinching pretty boys. More exclusivity for those in the know. If you been wearing premium nike boots since the turn of the millenium, these are just the natural progression. Slightly heavier than standard Domes, but slightly more comfortable. All my Atlanta Dome heads know what it is.
P.S. Nike: Where are the nubuck all black and/ or all gray Goadomes? Long overdue.
Nov 4, 2008 at 7:19 pm
ya’ll trippin dem things are hittin everyboby dats somebody will have them things on. mainly in DC, MD, AND VA
Nov 1, 2008 at 6:08 pm

Oct 13, 2008 at 11:12 pm
FIRE THE MAN WHO CAME UP W/ THIS CONCEPT AND EVERYONE THAT HELPED HIM CARRY IT OUT!!! DISGUSTING!!!!!
Oct 13, 2008 at 10:20 pm
Personally, I think both pairs are pretty fresh. I wonder if Dave is gonna have ‘em for sale at the store when they drop. I might have to swing by there to check ‘em out.
Oct 13, 2008 at 10:13 pm
Lol @ 103 comments.
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:58 pm
lol @ those
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Nike….My MAN
Harlem will DEFINITELY be bumpin’ these…then so will everywhere else!!!!
The blue ones with a Royal Blue Moncler…WOW It’s OVER
And where the hell is DMV. I have no idea. I like y’all style though …lol
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:30 pm
RE:because I live in Canada, and our winters can be insane, ill say nice idea for those that really do suffer the winter months lol…I would cop
Comment by Big D
I hear dat, its rough in the GTA(Greater Toronto Area) in winter time, but never for $225, prolly if they hit double clearance than i would cop them
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:26 pm
I’m #100 and all I have to say is that these are as good as copped
Oct 13, 2008 at 7:29 pm
Like my fellow DMV brothen, say the black ones will be copped in a heartbeat lol.
Oct 13, 2008 at 6:07 pm
ok i think there is a nike rep in the hood………..well all the hood ass people with no style were were acg and foam……..well the blue foam is the best………so nike did a good thing for the no style people…(eggplant foam is cool,sliver foam is cool) the rest just play ball in…..A.c.g boots……….so 2 years ago
Oct 13, 2008 at 3:24 pm
the black joints are okay, I might fool wit em….
Oct 13, 2008 at 2:56 pm
Wow…these are wack. And for $225, what can I say? Personally, if I lived in a cold-weather state (which I don’t btw), I’m better off geeting some Lugz on sale for under $100. And on top of that for a MUCH better-looking boot. Woe to the sneaker heads, Nike yet again killing yet another classic softly…
Oct 13, 2008 at 2:17 pm
OooooooooooH OK that makes sense lol I though you was talkin about Department of Motor Vehicles lol =)

Oct 13, 2008 at 11:52 am
Nike could potentially be reviving or completely murdering 2 classics in 1 swoop.
Oct 13, 2008 at 11:49 am
Keep it 100 yall dont even need these in the winter in cities like L.A, Houston, and Miami (so don’t trip if yall can’t find dem) , but ’round here in places like Upstate NY, NYC, Toronto these will save ya life when winter hits real hard.
P.S. ACG’s ova Timbelands any day of da year.
Oct 13, 2008 at 11:47 am
Oh HELL NAW!!
Oct 13, 2008 at 11:39 am
omg i think nike has succeeded in making a shoe uglier than the acgs
Oct 13, 2008 at 11:30 am
These and the Penny 3’s is so wavy!
OOOWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!
Oct 13, 2008 at 10:11 am
Not feeling these at all Nike took it to far and 225.00 hell no!! I will pass I love the foamposites, and I especially love the goadomes but together I dont think so.
Oct 13, 2008 at 9:49 am
Its not really taking things to far, you get what you like. Its 08 and getting ready to be 09, its time for something different. Shoe brands need to come up with something real fresh and fire, and stop releasing these plain retros. I mean don’t get me wrong, retros are great, especially when a shoe brand releases a retro that you didn’t able to get, but in time, its time for a change and go in another direction. These brands, especially Jordan Brand, need to stop making these hybrid shoes and come up with something real different and fresh. You know people go crazy over retros, Jordan Brand need to come up with SOMETHING DIFFERENT BUT WITH THE SAME REACTION.
Oct 13, 2008 at 9:46 am
@NIKEINDABUTT YEAh you rite but then I saw a ROCKSMITH HOoDY that would kill it too trust imma make these bad boys stand out like the statue of liberty maybe take back with an old school magic hoodie or starter jacket lol =)
Oct 13, 2008 at 9:38 am
Theze would get hotter in different color ways
Oct 13, 2008 at 9:34 am
I would get the black pair if there were snow here in the south.
Oct 13, 2008 at 9:11 am
If u From the DMV u already know that you will prolly have a pair by november lol… nike boots really aint that popular round the states tho for sum reason… but when it gets cold up here in the VA/D.C area, the boots come out…
Oh wale had these on in the Artistic Integrity Video
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:59 am
@ FLYMIKE
That LRG ‘crypt walk’ vest isn’t nearly as fresh as the OG North Face Nuptse vest…that vest in blue/black was practically made for the foams.
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:38 am
In NYC we rock da ACG’s so this will be the illest pair ..but the price tag’s a little steep….But I will cop those..To add to my wave…OOOwwww…shout outs to MAX B
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:17 am
Lmfao!
What a disaster. Look at that high ass carbon fiber plate…!
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:06 am
stop with the hybrids!!!
Oct 13, 2008 at 8:06 am
enough already!!!!!!
Oct 13, 2008 at 7:37 am
holy snappp
Oct 13, 2008 at 7:22 am
these things are rediculusly STUPID …..ID RATHER TAKE A POO
Oct 13, 2008 at 7:20 am
I actually like these because I love my blue foams (OG) but wouldn’t dare wear them in some Winter weather conditions…at least now i have an alternative but the $225 price tag is waaaaaaay overpriced.
Oct 13, 2008 at 7:15 am
got spizikes thought they was classis then came all fusions this and that Nike is going to far need new ideas man
Oct 13, 2008 at 6:44 am
THEY OK BUT 4 225 I DUNNO MY ACGS ARE FINE AND I RE UP EVERY YEAR BUT THESE MAY BE A LIL 2 MUCH I MITE DO THE BLACK ONES PUT THEM ON LAYAWAY AND GET TYHEM IN JANUARY AINT BIG RUSH TO COP THEM ANYWAY!!!!
Oct 13, 2008 at 5:46 am
Disgusting.
Oct 13, 2008 at 3:24 am
^ They are available for retailers down here, but whether they buy them or not is the more important question. I would check with your local independent spot to see if they are getting them or not.
Oct 13, 2008 at 2:42 am
Uhhhh Matt are these going to be released in stores down here in TX.
Oct 13, 2008 at 12:27 am
ROFL these are space boots that should only be made for nasa astronauts and no one else
Oct 12, 2008 at 11:49 pm
The big news here in nyc foamposite eggplants are not going to have clear soles i heard that my stomach started to hurt alot Nike loves playing wit people heads
Oct 12, 2008 at 10:03 pm
I go to WVU; so ima need boots so these work.
And how could you have the classic foamposite color? I won’t wear regular foamposites unless I’m playing ball but would wear these.
Oct 12, 2008 at 10:02 pm
im guessing comments 56-58 are the same guy?
I know people in the DMV are gonna be wearing these things, probably religiously…but up here in philly, its not happening.
Oct 12, 2008 at 10:01 pm
these are very bad… very very bad
Oct 12, 2008 at 9:51 pm
thOse s**ts are UGLY!!!!
Oct 12, 2008 at 9:45 pm

Oct 12, 2008 at 9:32 pm
STRAIGHT CRACK im gone with both my hoodies an jeans on deck
Oct 12, 2008 at 9:24 pm
im sorry, i just dont see how foamposite and boots go together. i have 3 pairs of goadomes. 2 black and 1 brown suede. some say they are doofy, some like them. but look at these. look at the bottom. they made the bottom like a inch bigger. now im gonna be like 2-3 inches taller than i actually am. and im tall. look at the bottom of the goadomes, these look huge. maybe if they made the sole like the goadomes
Oct 12, 2008 at 9:07 pm
WAITIN FOR BOTH PAIR TO DROP!!! STRAIGHT CRACK!!!!!!!!!!!
Oct 12, 2008 at 8:56 pm
HYBRIDS ARE STR8 GARBAGE!
Oct 12, 2008 at 8:48 pm
man…everybody wants to believe that these are awful (even myself) but in all actuality these are hot…live
and that’s why they get the pancake flippin stamp
Oct 12, 2008 at 8:39 pm
killing a classic and a classic in the making…
Oct 12, 2008 at 8:39 pm
ill grab both pairs, the blacks first cuz the blue can go wit limited fits, but these are hot
Oct 12, 2008 at 8:28 pm
I see the black ones selling. The blue ones………i speak for myself when i say this but whoever chose the blue ones to be made should go home tie a rope to a hook in the sealing, and kick the chair twice to make sure he can hang himself properly.
Seriously those things are disgusting. I think you guys should change the thread’s main picture to the black ones.
Oct 12, 2008 at 8:05 pm
LAME
Oct 12, 2008 at 7:52 pm
tell them chinese who them kids in the basement making to them shoes for 2cent to stop them shoes f***ing horribleEdited by Nice Kicks
That may have been a joke, but it crosses the line. I won’t go too deep into the it, but if you look at the photos, that pair was made in Taiwan for starters.
Oct 12, 2008 at 7:22 pm
The Black 1’s had a slim chance but with that price tag it just went to none.
Oct 12, 2008 at 7:22 pm
i think i jsutthrew up my breakfast…ughhh
Oct 12, 2008 at 7:18 pm
Somethings just are not worth $225 and these boots are one of them.
Oct 12, 2008 at 7:07 pm
I’m definitley grabing both pair, the black and the blue
Oct 12, 2008 at 6:49 pm
the black joints are fire
Oct 12, 2008 at 6:41 pm
i’m really feeling the eggplant, i mean you can rock in the snow and still look fly, which is a must out here in the Lou.
Oct 12, 2008 at 6:31 pm
Boots should be boots, sneaks should be sneaks. Thanks Nike, you ruined yet another classic. Clap. Clap.
Oct 12, 2008 at 6:18 pm
id never pay $225 for these very very ugly shoes
Oct 12, 2008 at 6:05 pm
both of these are UGLY!!!!!!
Oct 12, 2008 at 5:51 pm

Oct 12, 2008 at 5:29 pm
Weak.
Oct 12, 2008 at 5:27 pm

Oct 12, 2008 at 4:59 pm
I wouldn’t buy it even if they throw in some socks lol
Oct 12, 2008 at 4:58 pm
For 225? please..
Oct 12, 2008 at 4:53 pm
maybe for really snowy cities this might be good… but the blue colorway is far from hot.. the black one on the other hand is right on point.. maybe a greyish colorway might look half decent.. nice concept i guess?
Oct 12, 2008 at 4:38 pm
because I live in Canada, and our winters can be insane, ill say nice idea for those that really do suffer the winter months lol…I would cop
Oct 12, 2008 at 4:24 pm

Oct 12, 2008 at 4:17 pm

I wouldrather have regular black ACG’s
Oct 12, 2008 at 3:36 pm
these would be hot if they made a flightposite version
Oct 12, 2008 at 3:06 pm
I’m only feeling the BLACK!!! I live in St. Louis where snow is ridiculous and people spend top dollar on Columbia and other types of boots. I would cop these in a heartbeat.

i knew they would cost gwop. the ACG boots already cost like 150 light. the foamposities already cost 200 light. these were gonna be over 200 either way. these look hella doofy. i love my acg boots. they are comfortable by boot standard and they keep my feet warmer than ANY pair of timberland constructs could, but this is terrible. they look fatter. looks like something mega man should wear
Oct 12, 2008 at 1:02 pm
disgusting
Oct 12, 2008 at 12:58 pm
