Does anyone here know who John Tawney and Toren Orzeck are? We’ll give you a minute to think about it. Chances are you won’t recognize those names so readily, but if you’re a Foamposite fanatic (and how could you not be, with all the crazy colorways that have released and will release in ’12) the names of Tawney and Orzeck should be inserted in your sneaker knowledge glossary. Permanently. Former members of the Nike Advanced Product Engineering team (and engineers at Ford and GE prior to that), Tawney and Orzeck created ‘Foamposite’ material as a result of their efforts of creating a material that was both lightweight and less laborious to manufacture, paving the way for some of the most revolutionary designs in Nike Basketball history.
The futuristic nature of the material was only accentuated by Eric Avar’s slick design, but in 2012, it’ll be re-introduced in fitting space-age form – the ‘Galaxy’ colorway that Sneaker News first showed you a week ago. The upper features transplanted imagery of colorful galaxies of outer space that, when combined with the Air Foamposite One design, creates a visual masterpiece that, like most piece of revolutionary art, might not be appreciated in its time. Some might think the use of the graphic print might be overkill, but Nike has a history, with shoes like the Presto, Kukini, and other sneakers on the funkier end of the spectrum of design adopting insanely detailed uppers. The Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Galaxy’ will not release, so check out these new images via TSG and let us know what you think, because you might not see these pop up much elsewhere.
These look like someone had their pearls splashed by some oil in the parking lot. Lol not bad I'd cop. They don't look Ghey to me at all gotta have confa in your swag to pull these off.
Fuck yall who say dhese shits is ass cuzz these right here is the hottest Foamposites ever other than the Binary Blue Zoom Rookie LWP

WHO TF AT NIKE OK'D THESE HIDEOUS MONSTROSITIES??? FUCK YOU GENTRY !!!!
I would rock em just becuz they are diff..
at least your honest...
Enough with the use of 'gay' as a descriptor! Damn! I'm a GAY sneakerhead and don't appreciate it guys...c'mon now.
I'm a heterosexual guy not threatened by multiple colors or "rainbows", and I think these kick ass!
At 1st I was taken back by these bad boys, but now I can see how sick they actually are.
Oh man if these would release all these rugby grey brim snapback cargo aeropostal wearin niggas are gonna have a fuckin field day. I dont understand how anyone would wear electric light green foams over the amazing pines. No good!

Damn! The recession created a market for a sneaker pawnshop? For real? Wow!
I like 'em, dope concept. The ones who are hatin' are probably the same ones who need a common solid color sneaker to wear 'cause they have no sense of style. Be different, guys. Think outside the box..
ох уж эти нанотехнологии!
Fuck u all!!!! Them wtfoams are the shit the hot super hot shit naggers!!!
...the time designers spent on this colorway could have been used to make something else.
IMO eggplant is the best colorway
#GENTRY ROCKING THEM AT DA #SOLECOLLECTOR X #PENNY EVENT IN VEGAS...MAN I SAW THEM IN PERSON...NOTHING SPECIAL....
So they give us a photoshop spoiler, dubbing these as a What The Foam concept, said that they were going to realease them, then a few days later, we see them on feet, dub it with a new nickname and come to find out that they don't release. Typical Jordan Brand bullsh-t has suddenly morphed over to Nike.
your saying that as if its bad these WTF's wont see store shelves
Exactly. Why do you think I posted that, to say they're ugly?
fuck it ill rock em
Gentry is raping foams sameway he raped j's ,this nigga gettin me mad, red foams look like they candy apples why cant they be metallic red, gold/chamelion ones look faded needs more gold and shinyness like the pewters and coppers, wtf is the point of making an electric green one again thas stupid, those silver/red shits are hideous, they should burn every pair they made of those galaxy shits, the golden state yellow ones are okay but too many colors take a break please you just released rookies and you already have wayyyyyy too many cw's slow down on the foams/rookies drop like 2 more af1/foam cw's and bring back the flightposite 1 or flightposite 3 -RT
Couldn't agree with more!! The red metallics look cranberry, electric green ones are really pointless, and I would love to see some new Flightposites!!
If y'all saw these on Wale Feet, You'd lose your mind. Watch. i think they are okay. They are different,I don't give af. Id Rock them.
Good riddance. Didn't like these anyway.
idk about you guys but i like it!
i thought they were suppose to be pros
Boooo! These are gay
Disappointing.

garbage.
I Know There's Somebody Out There Begging For A Release Date So They Can Kill These ..
LOOKS MAD GAY!!.... rainbow colors tho???? enough of the Foamposite color ways now, this shyt gets annoying
I can picture you looking out into space through a telescope and seeing all the colors and calling the cosmos "MAD GAY". After all, these were modeled after the Hubble Telescope photos taken of space, fucking idiot. Hahaha
