Nike Sportswear Displays An Insane Foamposite Exhibit In Shanghai

Nike Sportswear Displays An Insane Foamposite Exhibit In Shanghai

Nike 12 Soles Foamposite Wzk 1

One of the biggest storylines of 2017 will undoubtedly be Nike’s celebration of the iconic Foamposite, the futuristic basketball shoe that landed on Earth in 1997. With several original Foamposite releases confirmed for next year (starting with the Royals in mid-January) and plenty of new styles likely to come forward, there’s no question that the silhouette, once regarded as the most coveted in sneaker culture, will regain that prestige.

As part of Nike Sportswear’s 12 Soles campaign for the Holiday season, the Swoosh teamed up with WZK Shanghai for a jaw-dropping display of Foamposites over the last two decades – even unreleased samples that first surfaced in 1995. Some of these gems include the incredible “comic strip” Foamposites, the grail-status “Tianjin”, and even an early “Royal” sample that features NIKE molded into the upper.

Alongside this display, Nike and WZK Shanghai worked with Instagram personality @3dk129 to create a retrospective Foamposite book; only 150 copies of the book will be given out to those who pick up a pair of the “Dr. Doom” Foamposites at the space. Get an exclusive look at the Nike Sportswear 12 Soles Foamposite Exhibit below.
