At the turn of the millennium, Nike did something totally unheard of and some might have even thought that it was a rogue Nike employee doing a DIY project. Well it was something like that, Nike took the Foamposite and chopped off a good part of the heel and made the Foamposite into a slip-on clog. This was years ahead of Crocs, just so we can clear that up. Though not a rogue Nike employee, it was a special Nike product development group called the Nike Alpha Project which experimented with Nike models. In its origin, much of the project was noted with special boxes and a special five dotted code. Much of that has been phased out over the years but from what we heard, Alpha Project is still around. The above represents a black colorway but one of the most famous and sought after colorways was the digi-camo Clogposite. Nike, please take note and put out another hundred pairs of the Digi-Camo colorway. via chajinyoung
Update: The status of the Nike Clogposite Retro is currently ‘canceled’. Maybe a quickstrike will pop up sometime later but the April 09 Black Clogposite is now canceled.

Crazy, I’ve never heard of these! Pretty sick, though.

Cancelled? Awww, these were looking fresh…and after some research, I think the black colorway was a shoe called a “Solo Slide”, which Nike made to look just like Clogposites, but without the foam or sole cushioning. There were also Eggplant Clogposites, which I am hunting now!

Thank god this was cancelled! Garage trash outta here. Nike would be throwing away money on a project like this. If you guys got money and time for this sht, why don’t you guys remake the Nike Air Mags aka McFly’s? Then we’re talking dollar signs NIKE!!!
