Nike Air Foamposite One “Eggplant” Black/Varsity Purple 314996-008

The shoes originally released back in 2009 and is regarded as one of the best Foamposite colorways in history.

This Nike Air Foamposite One features a Purple Foamposite shell, along with Nike Swoosh and 1 Cent logos. Supporting the sneaker, its outsole utilizes an icy, semi-translucent blue alongside a black tread to complete the pair.

The official colors are Black/Varsity Purple, but it was quickly coined “Eggplant” by the sneaker community. Since then, the Eggplant Foamposites have gone on to be one most sought-after and memorable colorways ever.

About Nike Foamposite

The history of Nike FOAMPOSITE began in 1997, the same time that Nike released iconic models such as the Air Jordan XII and Air More Uptempo (the first sneakers with the signature Scottie Pippen). Although many years have passed since then, the Nike FOAMPOSITE is still very futuristic. From the very beginning of its existence, Nike FOAMPOSITE is one of the most popular models among collectors. Every subsequent update released on the market is marked by great success, sneakers are actively sold out, and it seems that the demand for them will never be satisfied.

The top of the Nike AIR FOAMPOSITE PRO model is equipped with an ultra-light Foamposite and is a specialized heavy-duty construction that provides comfort, flexibility and ventilation. The Nike Zoom Air unit, located in the heel area, is responsible for low-profile, responsive cushioning. The sole, made of Phylon material, significantly reduces the weight of the sneaker, provides additional soft springy cushioning. Injected nylon arch support for mid-foot support. The durable, wear-resistant tread optimizes the grip surface and provides grip and stability. Loops on the tongue and back allow you to conveniently remove and put on shoes.
