Nike Foamposite “Eggplant” Detailed Look
Posted by Nick Engvall | Jan 9, 2009 One of the most anticipated releases of 2009, is the Nike Foamposite “Eggplant” colorway, we’ve gotten a couple shots here and there since summer time. Finally we have some detailed shots of this heat.
The Foamposite has a huge following to begin with, but the “Eggplant” colorway, which is considered Varsity Purple seems to be on everyone’s cop list. Even at the price of $200 this color on the Foamposite, combined with the icy clear sole makes this one hard to pass up. Thanks to KickOnFire for the detailed shots after the break. |

Jan 13, 2009 at 2:13 pm
thank you #82 and #65 that waz my point that ppl like #63 just dont understand.
Jan 13, 2009 at 1:46 pm
#82 very well put. I think that most of us went through this same situation.
Jan 13, 2009 at 12:22 pm
#82 actually when you die you can take them with you im having mine buried with me if they all can fit in the casket that how dedicated I am to the sneaker world not game lol
Jan 12, 2009 at 9:00 pm
i gotta cop these, gotta b one of the hottest releases dis year since jordan aint puttn out nomore retros…
Jan 12, 2009 at 7:39 pm
Yo I dont have anything bad to say about anyone because i dont know any of you, but think about this… i became a sneaker head for a variety of reason’s… one- when i was kid i loved the nike’s and jordan’s i would see on other people feet but i couldnt afford them. two- once i could afford 1 lousy pair of nikes they would get dirty cause i would wear them everyday,three- im from the eighties and i know the history behind all of these shoes… so i devised a plan, i figured if i bought enough shoes to wear a different pair everyday of the year i wouldnt worry about them getting dirty, and thats how it started, i have so many pairs of shoes i can wear them and i dont have to worry about them losing value and i dont have to buy two pairs of each on a release date because by the time they come out again the first pair i bought is still in good condition… bottom line is, when u die u cant take these shoes with you, thier were a few pair of shoes that i wouldnt dare wear because they were holy grails to me, but then i had my son and i realized that i was getting older and i didnt wanna have all these shoes and never hae worn them… shoes are to be worn… period. juss take care of them.
Jan 12, 2009 at 4:03 pm
#80 real sneakerhead whats your myspace ima add you
Jan 12, 2009 at 2:36 pm
O yeah I’m reppin da DMV, Foamposite KINGS
Jan 12, 2009 at 2:35 pm
OK everybody it is me J Vaun, the main man with the shoe plan. All the haters need to step back, sit yo ass down and think about what you just said.(ie: #23,#46,#60) These shoes competed on this site with complex mag., to see what the best shoe ever was. It got second place for a reason, behind the 11’s. #63 I like how you think, but #65 is correct too. You can show off your knowledge about shoes and crush somebody but dont try to tell everybody what you got, cause anybody can say anything. Like how I was the first one on the moon with a pair of nikes, and I dare anyone to tell me I was’nt. And for those that choose to play in there foams please understand that if you don’t buy two then in 1 to 9 years time, before they ever come back out, you will see me rockin my fresh ones and wishing you took care or bout two.
Jan 12, 2009 at 12:35 pm
PYS certainly does not have these, they have the eggplant flightposites which are fresh too but not as comfortable to ball in.
Jan 12, 2009 at 10:44 am
DMV aint the only spots getting these but yall will have a good amount.
Jan 12, 2009 at 10:17 am
@ 51- i wish they were releasing the spacejam 11’s. I’d be all over that
Jan 12, 2009 at 10:10 am
PYS have had these for a while
Jan 12, 2009 at 9:54 am

Jan 12, 2009 at 12:16 am
These are too serious not to cop, Nike should take it to another level and bring em out in a true white ie. The he got game ones which Jesus Shuttlesworth was rocking. All white with the ice bottoms no check….those would be MEAN!!!
Jan 11, 2009 at 10:12 pm
SUM1 PLEASE JUST GIVE ME A DATE ON WHEN THESE COME OUT I NEED 2 PAIR!!!!!!
Jan 11, 2009 at 9:50 pm
#64 You are the COOLEST you got a WHIP & Fresh Kix DAMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can the rest of us compete with the just another CHUMP TALKING ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY HE GOT AND WHAT KIND OF WHIP HE GOT OVER THE NET. REAL MONEY DON’T NEED TO CONVINCE PEOPLE WITH WORDS THE WORKS SPEAK FOR ITSELF. SOME OF US BUY SNEAKS TO WEAR NOT TO BE CLOSET QUEENS. LIKE HAVING A CLEAN WHIP LIKE YOURS? AND PULLING IT ON A TRAILER CARS ARE MADE TO DRIVEN SNEAKER ARE MADE TO BE WORN.
Jan 11, 2009 at 8:55 pm
and for you chumps talking reckless because i take care of my kicks and dont hoop in them:WHAT YOU DRIVE; when you walking from the court ill be driving by riding clean getting out my whip with my fresh kix on
Jan 11, 2009 at 8:47 pm
#58 you are a baffoon! im not famous and im not gonna destroy some kicks like a child. i played ball from pee-wee leauges up to college at Davidson in NC until i joined the army. and you cant tell me nothing about ballin or kicks. i dont destroy my shoes trying to look good playing ball. i can do the same damage on the court rocking 200 dollars kicks or shaqs shoes.
idiots like you were dying for the 11/12 cdp but smart dudes like me took care of my 11s from 95 and the 2001 retros and still got the 11/12 cdp. i havent even wore them yet; i rock my 2001 retros 11s. and thanks for letting me know it was a b-ball shoe; i thought they were for cutting grass. and these are better than the originals because i can buy these for under 500 bucks; rookie
Jan 11, 2009 at 8:23 pm
speakin of ballin shoes idc what anybody says the AJX’S got it hands down SMD if you gonna hate ha
Jan 11, 2009 at 7:30 pm
These are better than the royal blue foamposite pros. These shoes were designed for Penny Hardaway to…..you guessed it, play basketball in. So if they are good enough for Penny in his prime, I would have to say that they are good enough for any of you chumps who want to keep me in the box. I am from Brooklyn are these will def be in high demand. You can catch me ballin in these come February.
Jan 11, 2009 at 6:45 pm
THESE R GROSS
Jan 11, 2009 at 6:33 pm
i like them but the toe is keepin me from buying
Jan 11, 2009 at 6:19 pm
#31 ur retarted. These are a basketball shoe! ppl like you piss me off who buy shoes just to look fresh and no nothing about the sneaker or the story behing them. frickin collectors. besides, this colorway is soo overhyped. its like a dull faded purple! I dare anyone to tell me that these are better than the royal blue foamposites.
Jan 11, 2009 at 5:58 pm
CAN’T WAIT!!!! CAN’T WAIT!!!! MUST COP!!!!
Jan 11, 2009 at 5:46 pm
these are not the same color as the old eggplants
Jan 11, 2009 at 4:39 pm
#53 i aint go talk sh-t but you compared to me is pocket change. what you maske monthly is proably less than my monthly monthly clothing budget.
Jan 11, 2009 at 4:33 pm
@#51 Yeah, I can’t wait to get those Space Jams and Concord 11’s this year.
Jan 11, 2009 at 3:55 pm
#29 ARE YOU CRAZY; BALL IN THESE. THATS LIKE DRIVING YOUR CORVETTE TO A ROLLER DURBY. YOU’D BE A DAMN FOOL TO HOOP IN THESE. NBA CATS CAN DO IT BECAUSE THEY ARE RICH AND THEY GET KICKS OR FREE ANYWAY/ THEY DONT PAY FOR SHOES; YOU ARE JUST A AVERAGE JOE;USE YOUR BRAIN. I GOT THE 1998 FOAMPOSITE MAX AND I WOULD NEVER BALL IN THOSE EITHER AND THEY SILL LOOK BRAND NEW.
i don’t even play ball so stop poppin sh*t, and 2nd of all i was giving him my honest opinion on getting a sneaker that is worth the money and looks better than his other two options so lay low and 3rd these are b-ball kicks/casual kicks and $200 is pocket change if you are actually a person that loves kicks, you can ball in whatever you want so be easy
Jan 11, 2009 at 3:30 pm
ARE THESE GR?
Jan 11, 2009 at 2:55 pm
This is probably the only sneaker I am buying this year… and those AJ 7 Bouduax… and those AJ11 Space Jams… if they actually release it as not part of a pack.
Jan 11, 2009 at 1:20 pm
*correction*
ayo are *these* gonna be GR or limited??
Jan 11, 2009 at 1:18 pm

Jan 11, 2009 at 12:31 pm
Does anybody know what store in HOUSTON is getting these? I called premium goods and they said they weren’t.
Jan 11, 2009 at 12:03 pm
i hope these are a sample because the supposed icey candy bottoms look like crap.
Jan 11, 2009 at 11:03 am
solecollector says foootaction is gettting them its a limited release

#38 umm footlocker aint getting these homie lol
Jan 11, 2009 at 9:41 am
Deffinately coppin sickest shoe of 2009 cause the jordan 2009 is ugly as sh!t
Jan 11, 2009 at 9:38 am
These are crazy! Cant wait to throw them on wit some True’s or RR’S!!!!! I alwayz ball in my shoes after a while and to be honest these are classic ballin shoes b/c they grip ur foot well and if kats step on ur probably already hurtin foot, it doesnt hurt as much!! Real Talk! I got my 200 ready and i might have another 200 for a pair just to say i got two!! Ha!
Jan 11, 2009 at 9:35 am
I look to the West Coast get shafted again. They will be footlocker on the east coast, but will be a hard cop in the bay. Definately worth it though
Jan 11, 2009 at 7:53 am
if the swoosh on the kobe iv was as small as the swoosh on the eggplants, the kobe iv would be a classic shoe
Jan 11, 2009 at 7:35 am
im copping three pair
Jan 11, 2009 at 2:40 am
such a dope shoe. that icey sole looks so good on that eggplant color. cant pass
Jan 11, 2009 at 2:37 am

Jan 11, 2009 at 2:31 am

Jan 11, 2009 at 1:27 am
#24 THOSE WERE PROTOTYPES/ I SAW A ASIAN NIKE SITE WITH THEM FOR SELL AROUND THAT TIME FOR THE SAME PRICE AND I WAS GONNA BUY THEM BUT THE LARGEST SIZE THEY HAD WAS A 9 AND I WEAR A 13. IF I COULD REMEMBER THE SITE I WOULD PUT YALL UP ON IT BUT I CANT. I JUST GOOGLED: EGGPLANT FOAMPOSITE FOR SELL
Jan 11, 2009 at 1:20 am
#29 ARE YOU CRAZY; BALL IN THESE. THATS LIKE DRIVING YOUR CORVETTE TO A ROLLER DURBY. YOU’D BE A DAMN FOOL TO HOOP IN THESE.

Jan 11, 2009 at 12:46 am
get the foamposites becaue you can actually wear them and ball in them unlike the kobe’s and 2k9’s which you can ONLY!!! wear on the court and you will get your money’s worth and the jordan 2k9’s are extremely ugly
Jan 11, 2009 at 12:17 am
200 is just a big price tag n i am still debating in whether getting the new kobes, air jordan 2009, penny hybrid or these.
Jan 10, 2009 at 11:49 pm
eyaa this joints are GREAT WORK…but the eggplant colorway is better on the fligtposite…AYYYYE
Jan 10, 2009 at 11:12 pm
These kicks are so comfy.
Jan 10, 2009 at 10:53 pm
These the sh*t aint no other sneaker f**king with these they are better then jordan airmax’s prada’s
Gucci and LV the next color should be red white and blue forth of july
edtion.
Jan 10, 2009 at 10:44 pm
in my opinion, that dude on niketalk sneakgeekz shudda BEEN gave us these pics cuz he had them fro about 3 months now they’re still just as hot as i thought they’d be. but i live in brooklyn, aint no one goin out to buy these over here so imma let them drop to 120 just like the last ones
Jan 10, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Yo these shoes are madddddd ugly.I don’t know how people like these ugly shoes.
Jan 10, 2009 at 10:23 pm
Mine. I don’t talk much, I just buy kicks.
Jan 10, 2009 at 10:15 pm
These are classics and other than a few other sneaks from 08 these would be worth 2Bills they going for.
Jan 10, 2009 at 10:05 pm
I think from now on, I’m just gonna post on the kicks and not read replies.
Always get side tracked from idiots!
Anyway… these pics are nice, but they don’t really do the eggplant color a great justice.
Jan 10, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Wezzy313 - “1st post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” for #2?
Because you sure as hell aren’t “#1″ to post.
And having “Wezzy” & “313″ in your name says all it needs to say.

these look fresh on small toez………look 2 much when u clown feet…….
Jan 10, 2009 at 8:00 pm
but don’t get me wrong, these shoes do look dope but i’d rather stay balling in my hyperdunks
Jan 10, 2009 at 7:59 pm
whats all the hype about foamposites? personally i don’t care how my feet look on the court and if they cost that much then they better feel better than hyperdunks which i doubt. at least with some jordans i can rock both on and off the court…these look strictly for balling
Jan 10, 2009 at 7:57 pm
I love these egg plant foamposites definitely one of the dopest kicks so far in ‘09 I will have these in my collection. i recommend the same for all of the other sneaker heads out there.
Jan 10, 2009 at 7:56 pm
