The name of their dominant color is perhaps Nike’s single most confusing hue designation, but there’s little doubt about the positive reaction in the sneakerhead community to the upcoming ‘Retro’ Nike Air Foamposite Pro. This model sees its confoundingly named color applied to the Foamposite body with black accents and a translucent sole that has many already lining up their pink shoestrings to lock in a ‘South Beach’ look. But whether you replace them or keep the black laces, this liquified Foamposite Pro colorway is sure to be among the summer’s most popular looks. Click through to see more angles, let us know how they compare with the Dark Pines and other recent Foam Pro drops and stick with Sneaker News for more, including the US release date coming soon. via MarqueeSole

I seen a cat wearing these last week, he was from the Military base in MD near where I work, so maybe he has an overseas connect.

May 9th, 2011 at 1:21 pm
that nike swoosh on the side kills the look. should be blank slate like the coppers or the pewters.

May 9th, 2011 at 4:56 pm
electic green is not that ugly …. if electic green was foam one i would coppem
May 9th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
the big NIKE swoosh on the side just throws off the look of the shoe. dope color..and yes..Nike will beat "south Beach" theme into the ground kinda like eggplant. Flood the market with 10 different shoes with same theme will make them sit on the shelves.
May 9th, 2011 at 5:08 pm
Im stoked on these bein from the Bay they gonna go perfect with our San Jose Sharks gear!!!
May 9th, 2011 at 7:08 pm
bro … 20 people on top of you said the same thing
May 9th, 2011 at 7:10 pm
Can you guys STFU already with the South Beach shit. I have the shoe IN HAND. Nothing like the Lebrons more of a Tiffany aqua. I tried the pink laces… HORRIBLE IDEA. To each his own, but I'm telling you, I would leave it black and throw on a fresh Diamond Supply shirt, and call it a day.
May 9th, 2011 at 7:28 pm
these look SUPER shiny!
May 9th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
but you already know thats going to happen so lick your hand first so it can sting a little
May 9th, 2011 at 10:44 pm
would look better as a foampoiste minus the pro. so i agree with sbtheghost87
May 9th, 2011 at 11:10 pm
as much as i find that funny….regardless of those stupid south beaches or not, i think pink laces would look nuts on these. i know i'll be getting bashed for this but to each his own. =(
May 10th, 2011 at 12:43 am
U playin if u not getting these
May 10th, 2011 at 1:44 am
I want these soo bad.
May 10th, 2011 at 1:46 am
It's the lighting plus the flash. These Foamposites will look like all the others in normal light.
May 10th, 2011 at 2:04 am
it was a figure of speech dude calm down im sure u do the same thing
May 10th, 2011 at 6:43 am
look at his name bro…of course -1
May 10th, 2011 at 8:26 am
THESE STRAIGHT HEAT YOU DUMB IF YOU GOT TO THINK TWICE ABOUT COPPIN THESE!!!
May 10th, 2011 at 11:56 am
Swoosh > No Swoosh on foams
May 10th, 2011 at 12:36 pm
I realized that after SneakerNews approved my comment
May 10th, 2011 at 9:29 pm
If you read the shoe box on the LeBron South Beach its CLEARLY says "Retro, Black and Pink" The blue on the Foamposites is the same as the LeBrons.
May 11th, 2011 at 8:06 pm
That'd be kinda fly if it had a glass pink sole. I would cop, but gas is 4.28 lmao.
May 11th, 2011 at 9:42 pm
4 28 WTF IT'S ONLY LIKE 3 over here in MIA
May 16th, 2011 at 10:40 pm
No comparison to the south beach 8's so please the idea to put pink on these is Lame cut it out.
