Continuing our week-long featurette on Foamposite Ones of the past for Classics Revisited is a look at the third and final new colorway of 2007 – the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Bright Cactus’, aka the Cactus Foams. The Cactus Foams capped off a strong come-back year for the Foamposite One, which began with the ‘Royal’ in January and followed by the Blackout (August) and Varsity Red (October). The Air Foamposite One ‘Bright Cactus’ provided the energetic twist to the stoic Blackout and clean-and-simple Varsity Red, and opened the doors to brightly-colored Foamposites of the future like the ‘Neo Lime‘ (2011) and ‘Electrolime‘ (2012). The Cactus Foams are a highly coveted item and deadstock pairs are few and far in-between, but check out what’s available now on eBay.

I remember I copped this on sale for $100!!
Got mine for $89.99 at a Nike Outlet...I doubt I'll ever find Foams for that price again.
Probably 1 of da most underrated foam... plenty people slept on these when they dropped... 1 of my favorites foams to drop tho. Real simple & came out clean. Plus u can them frum a distance lol
love this shoe. and its held up perfectly over the years. I know the official color is cactus but I call mine the "Pollen" Foams. I don't live around any cacti but plenty of pollen lol
i got mine on pickyoushoes for 140 i wish that could still happen today
I remember that! I was sitting there debating wether to cop or not......my dumb a** didnt! Lol
they had the black with solid red bottom too but they never went on sale and i waited too long and then BAM! they were gone
they should do foam pros
still got mine...tried to get the blackouts but they were sold out.
These were amazing. I'm not the type to wear the electrolime foams that came out but these are one of my favorites, along with the dark armys
They look like someone stepped on baby shit. When they dropped they were on sale everywhere in NYC. No one really copped. The ones that dropped last year with the clear green sole were suppose to drop instead of these. Then last mintue these ugly things dropped. Of course of they came back out idiots will line up for em like they did with the ugly electro lime joints.
The Blacktus.. Totally missed these..
Wish I could find these in my size
Still got 'em. Love 'em. Wish I could've grabbed the ones that dropped last year with the translucent green sole.
honestly one of my favourite foams of all time
Everybody in DC gonna cop
love the cactuses. wish nike would start releasing some foams with a solid sole instead of the clear bottoms.
