Nike Foamposite Pro Pearl
Posted by Nick Engvall | May 11, 2009
Earlier this year the Eggplant colorway of the Foamposite proved that the demand for the groundbreaking kicks from the late 90’s was still strong. Today we have word that the Foamposite Pro will make its return in a fresh “Pearl” colorway. The Nike Foamposite Pro “Pearl” features the Nike Swoosh on the outer side panel unlike its Foamposite sibling. The Pearl colorway features an off white version with similar color changing effects like the Eggplants. Black accents and an icy clear outsole finish off what should be one of the better releases this year. These will drop exclusively at House of Hoops locations on May 23rd. Click here for a detailed look at these kicks. |

DC is soft, PERIOD.
May 15, 2009 at 11:36 pm
All that bs talk about which state can claim the rights to Foams. Does that really matter?? All I know is we all got the same passion and that home in Trinidad I’m the only cat with da Eggplants, DMP6, Reebok Pump Bringback, 1/2 Cent, Space Jams, Retro 3s, 4s,5s, 7s, 11s, 12s, 14s, among others who owns and rocks his sneaks and I can safely say it feels Good to Break Necks! The Pearl Foams gonna break necks and I’m all for dat. AJFs do NOT break necks, so I couldn’t care less about them.
May 14, 2009 at 10:28 pm
how manny pairs are they releasing? and how early udes be camping out for these? never went to a hoh release?
May 14, 2009 at 9:24 am
Well looka here…………those are some super sexy foamposite…………i’ll have all the guy’s hate’n me even more with these on my feet………..
May 14, 2009 at 1:43 am
let me break it down like dis. wateva nyc does da rest of ny does. wateva ny state does da rest of america do. and wateva america do da rest of da world do. basically wat im trynna say is ny runs da world do. so all dem dudes in dc please fall back. fashion is defitnitly not a positive thing for y’all trust me. im there a lot taking da marc train from my 1 spot in maryland. harlem stand up
May 13, 2009 at 9:59 pm
man i don’t know why everyone is trying to claim these. have fun in your cumposites. can I say that here? guess it will take care of itself if I can’t.
May 13, 2009 at 5:45 pm
Down south and west didn’t get their style from East coast. Alot of people from the south and the west, and the midwest don’t even want to be associated with what the east coast does and vice versa. And fitted jeans ain’t hot, maybe to the younger generation, but you don’t see no older heads wearing fitted jeans. That shi is for TV and the younger people (and when you go to the club its mandatory damn near)
May 13, 2009 at 12:48 pm
See I love the way people try to claim things that dont belong to them first of all the style you say is yours was started by emo skateboarders I guess you guys invented skate boards too so I guess we should track the origins of skate boarding because thats the style and by the way Im not hating but who the F wants colorful nike boots DC started the the Nike boots wheres b more they wear shorts that look like high waters they got in to them recently I no longer where them anyway but I still have my first pair of 3m nike boots which I got 6 years ago yea you guys could say what you want it dosnt change anything you guys are hilarious tho amazing I cant hate on yall by all means yall know the deal but not all shoes are accepted in every city all I meant to say was that when you think new york you think air forces when you think cali you think cortez when you say foamposite its dc no matter what you people in what ever whole you rest in think this is what it is now keep hatin it is what it is you guys are crazy
May 13, 2009 at 7:44 am
I REMEMBER I WAS IN A GROCERY STORE AROUND MY BLOCK ONE DAY, I HAD ON SOME BROWN AND GREEN NIKE BOOTS, AND THIS DUDE ASKED ” YO WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE FROM?

AND NO LIE, HE SAID THE ONLY COLOR THEY HAD WAS THE ORIGINAL ALL BLACK ONES, THIS WAS LIKE TWO AND HALF YEARS AGO. AND THIS CAT D33mV33, WHAT THE HELL IS THIS LAME TALKING ABOUT? DUDES ON THE WEST COAST AND DOWN SOUTH GOT THEIR STYLE FROM THE EAST COAST, THEM DUDES WERE ROCKING KHAKIS WITH CHUCK TAYLORS ALL THEY LIFE.

May 12, 2009 at 10:51 am
Damn those are hot and i will pick up a pair!!!!!
May 12, 2009 at 10:07 am
“egg nog” is a bit more innocuous than what that color leads me to think of
May 12, 2009 at 9:59 am
I missed the white foams the 2dn time around n the eggplants came when i had dropped 5 g’s on a cruise… I guess foams werent meant for my feet….
May 12, 2009 at 9:45 am
not feeling the egg nog tint.
May 12, 2009 at 8:49 am
yessssssssssssssssssss…wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
May 12, 2009 at 8:38 am
You gotta think to yourself… Since NY probably had the Foamposites before ANYONE back in the 90’s, where the heck do you think DC (or anyplace not named Georgia\California\Florida\Illinois) got their whole style from? Wale’s aight lyrically, but fashion-wise you can see he’s rocking SOHO type gear all the way (and LRG is falling off, IMHO)… As for me, I’ve got the Penny III’s and two Foamposites but I’m more than ready to drop a lil’ something for these when they come out. 1
May 12, 2009 at 8:29 am
dey look decent..iono if i’d cop but very decent
May 12, 2009 at 8:20 am
DC AINT UP ON FOAMS…. I TOLD ONE DUDE FROM DC,MD ABOUT THE DR.DOOMS AND HES ASKED WATS THAT…. C’MON DC IS DEADED ON FASHION, TRUE STORY
May 12, 2009 at 8:20 am
out of all the colors known to man, they choose pearl? FAIL.
May 12, 2009 at 7:25 am
UGLY, that pearl color is nothing compared to the originals. I don’t know if it’s the picture but that pearl color doesn’t seem glossy like the ‘04 retros. Peace.
May 12, 2009 at 7:23 am
these are really sexy
May 12, 2009 at 6:43 am
FOAMPOSITES HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A NEW YORK THING, THE DUDE FROM D.C. ONLY WISHES WHAT HE WAS BLOGGING WAS THE TRUTH, WALE’S BEEN MORE FAMOUS FOR ROCKING HOT KICKS THAN HIS MUSIC. NEW YORK IS IN THE FRONT, ALL YALL OTHER CHUMPS IS IN THE BACK. WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO? I’M SORRY, [QUOTE FROM JAY-Z, LOL].

May 12, 2009 at 12:30 am
They nice but between these and the eggplant i would def go with the eggs. HOH release is gonna make them a hard find without paying them HGH STERIOD prices on Ebay.
May 11, 2009 at 11:58 pm
I had these’s back in high school. i remember i crop them for 100. cuz at that time nobody was ready feeling them. i got to get them again. peace

May 11, 2009 at 11:06 pm
THEZE KICKS ARE MILKYYYY FRESH!!!….. A MUST COP FOR THIS MONTH,,,,
May 11, 2009 at 11:05 pm
A lot of you guys need to stop spending your money on these sneakers and go get some spelling and grammar classes. A lot of ignorance is being spilled on this website.
I don’t think DC is the fashion or sneaker capital of anything or anywhere. I do know that when you think of the Foamposite or any kind of Posite, boot or sneaker, you must think of DC or the DMV. They stay true to their Posites. Just like NY is known for our loyalty to the white on white AF1, the West Coast to the Chuck Taylor and Chi-town to the Nike Cortez so is the Foamposite to the DMV.
Peace, I’m out!!!
May 11, 2009 at 11:01 pm
so they are coming out
May 11, 2009 at 10:43 pm
ugly dont like it
May 11, 2009 at 9:56 pm
damn you NYC people are lucky. i love Foams, i just wish i had the resources to go up there and get these lol
May 11, 2009 at 9:55 pm
Dc sneaker capitol of the world??? Smh I guess Nike and footlocker don’t think so cuz u would of been had a hoh ny is def on top
May 11, 2009 at 9:48 pm
To those people in DC thats hating…theres a very good reason why theres a House Of Hoops in New York and not in DC…enough said. anyways about the sneakers, they look mad clean and it lives up to its name “pearl” foams..got that pearl white right to its perfection…the icey sole and hints of red gives it a great finish. Gonna get ready to camp out for these bad boys..good thing house of hoops is a just a subway ride away.
May 11, 2009 at 9:31 pm
omfg! those are alotttttttttttttttttttt better than i expected! these are a must cop! but damn you House Of Hoops for not making one in D.C.!!! lol jk, but swear i’ma get em some how!
May 11, 2009 at 9:31 pm

May 11, 2009 at 8:59 pm
true. New york is the fashion capital of the world but nobody be up on the sneakers like DC. Im from VA Beach and i got hella family in New York too so i aint biased. but DC gotta be the sneaker capital of the world.
May 11, 2009 at 8:55 pm

May 11, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Yo I have about 8 pairs of foamposite pro’s and 2 pairs of Penny 1 Foams and I have been collecting them for like 12 years I already have these from back in the days a lil yellow but I only wore about 10 times. They are a must to any real sneaker head. To that dude from DC dont stunt NYC is the fashion CAPITOL Of the World you better act like you know Bronx all day not Brox
May 11, 2009 at 8:51 pm
