Favorite 15 Foamposite Sneakers
Posted by George Kiel III | Feb 5, 2010#13 - Nike Air Foamposite Pro Black/Volt
Nike Air Foamposite Pro Black/Volt
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro originally released in 1997, and although this is not the original colorway of this shoe (you have to go further into the post for that), it is still considered one of, if not the best Foamposite Pro colorway to date. The multiple volt accents that overlay the black base give this shoe a fresh, contrasting color scheme.

The LeBron 4 was definitely inspired by those Flightposite 3’s
Feb 6, 2010 at 8:58 am
Honorable mention: Air Signature Player and Ultraposite.
Feb 6, 2010 at 8:25 am
We’rent the VC1’s the first fusion of Shox and Foamposties…Those were mean looking and dope, especially with the Tar Heels colorwat
Feb 6, 2010 at 12:47 am
my favorite shoe of all time - royal foam 1’s
Feb 6, 2010 at 12:17 am
wish the sole was black on the coppers and egg plants that icey sole is wack it turns yellow and mess the shoe up
Feb 6, 2010 at 12:13 am
Im only feeling the 1/2 cents…not a big fan of these. my opinion
Feb 5, 2010 at 11:44 pm
The Tim Duncans need to be retroed. And yes the best Hyrbid ever is the 1/2 Cents. Eggplant & Coppers greatest shoes ever!
Feb 5, 2010 at 11:22 pm
black and volt hands down. Ya forgot the dr dooms
Feb 5, 2010 at 11:09 pm
Eggplants=Dope
Coppers= Definite
11 out of the 15= copped.
Feb 5, 2010 at 10:50 pm
HALF CENTS!!!!!!!! especially since i got mine for less than $100!!
Feb 5, 2010 at 10:37 pm
EGGPLANTS ALL DAY
Feb 5, 2010 at 10:13 pm
Phuck da order this line up is crazy respect Nice Kicks
Feb 5, 2010 at 9:18 pm
Eggplants foamposites or the total air foamposite max are number one…
Feb 5, 2010 at 9:09 pm
I think the baby blue and white foamposites pros should of made the list take those lebrons off the list and the ducans should of been ranked higher
Feb 5, 2010 at 9:08 pm
The exclusion of the Penny III is a travesty…
Feb 5, 2010 at 8:58 pm
Foamposite Pro = Black/Volt.. cant seem to find them anywhere for under a G.
Feb 5, 2010 at 8:57 pm
can someone tell me where i can get the copper when it comes out in the San Diego area!!!!!!
Feb 5, 2010 at 8:44 pm
Much Respect to NiceKicks .com! for giving props to the “Air Foamposites” & throwing together a “Nice” list…Come Peep our “TOP 5 Foam’s List”! & more @kickgamedvd.com
Feb 5, 2010 at 8:43 pm
How are you not gonna include those light blue and white foams with the white check from a few years back. Those are def better than a lot of the 1s on this list.. imo
Feb 5, 2010 at 8:43 pm
where can i get these? can someone plz tell me what store and online site that has these in size 11
Feb 5, 2010 at 8:26 pm
This is a great list, and I’m glad to see so many great colorways included!
However, I believe it’s ridiculous that the Eggplant Flightposites aren’t included in the top three! Sure the Gold Flights are a great pair of shoes, but in my opinion (and the opinion of MANY others), the Eggplants are the greatest Flightposites ever made.
Even if they were listed after the Eggplant Foamposites, I would have been satisfied; but they HAD to be included in the top three. And to me, the Pearl Foam Pros and the Copper Foams shouldn’t be listed as better posites than the Eggplant Flights.
However, you guys were dead on in putting the Royal Foams at number one though. Definitely a no-brainer, and a fitting end to the list.
Feb 5, 2010 at 8:19 pm
great post… agree with most…
Feb 5, 2010 at 8:16 pm
SkatManMackDaddy,
Those definitely came up on the list when we were brainstorming along with some non basketball posites, but it was really tough to put those on in place of any of the top 15.
Feb 5, 2010 at 7:02 pm
No ultraposites????
Feb 5, 2010 at 7:01 pm
I remember seeing the royal Foams when they first came out. Our coach had a hookup, and got them *early*. My jaw dropped when he walked in the gym. Still my all time favorite foams.
Feb 5, 2010 at 7:00 pm
I think the 1/2 cent is the best. Any cw is a winner. I’m glad they pushed the date back on the copper foams, now I’m a cop 4sure. Also no way no how r the flightpisite 1-2 better then the 3. The 3 is the best flightposite n the plat is the best cw. 4 out of 5
Feb 5, 2010 at 6:48 pm
love em all
Feb 5, 2010 at 6:37 pm
The top 2 can’t be argued and after the copper colorway is released it’ll move to #3……can anybody help me find a pair of the silver foamposite max I NEED THOSE!!!!!!!
Feb 5, 2010 at 6:27 pm
The only questions that I have about this list are where are the royal blue foamposite pro & the Dr. Doom foams? Both of those are tough finds. I’m also surprised the the black Flightposite Is escaped mention. I’ve been looking for those since they got retroed and damned if I can’t find a 13 anywhere.
Feb 5, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Damn you guys!!! I was just in the process of doing this exact feature haha. Oh well. On to the next one.
I gotta give it to the Royal Blue Foamposite One. All-time favorite sneaker.
Feb 5, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Nike 1/2 Cent Royal Blue/Black is my favorite
Feb 5, 2010 at 6:21 pm
I love the eggplants and the royals
but the copper pic is just beautiful
