Last night, Sneaker News unveiled the final brackets and seedings of the thirty-two Nike Foamposites selected for the Sneaker News March Madness Foamposite Tournament. We’ll kick off the official voting with the West bracket, featuring notable seeds like the original “Royal” and the recently released “Fighter Jet” Foamposite. With a true clash of old uniform colorways and new bright colors and graphics, there is no clear-cut winner because the older and newer generations of Foamposite fans certainly have contrasting opinions, so be sure to get your votes in today as we kick off the First Round of the Tournament with the West bracket. We will open up voting for the remaining brackets (Southwest, East, and Southeast) in the following days, with ALL First Round polls stay open until Sunday, March 24th at 11:59 PM EST.

For the last two years, Sneaker News arranged its own “Big Dance” of iconic footwear as we opened up our Sneaker News March Madness Tournaments focusing on specific categories of sneakers. The inaugural Tournament in 2010 crowned the Air Jordan XI as the greatest sneaker of all-time, and a repeat of the XI happened when the Concords were deemed the greatest OG Jays. Last year’s 2012 Madness changed things up and appointed the Air Jordan V “Raging Bull” as the single best non-original Retro ever created, so what could be next? We’ve pretty much covered every exciting Air Jordan possible, so for 2013, we’re hitting you with another sneaker that’s been dominating the game – the Nike Foamposite. We’ve selected thirty-two distinguished colorways of both the One and the Pro to go head-to-head tournament style, with the goal of finding the most-prized Foamposite sneaker ever created. We’ve got all the seeding down below so look through the entire bracket and our selected #1 seeds and stay tuned to Sneaker News as voting for the Sneaker News March Madness Foamposite Tournament starts tomorrow, March 19th.

2012 was everything an Air Jordan fan could ask for. Along with all the great releases covered in the Sneaker News Top 30, like the year-long celebration of the Air Jordan IV, the Olympic-inspired releases, and the comebacks of two previously un-retroed originals, the vast selection of Air Jordans to hit retail kept us on our toes on a consistent basis. There were plenty of great releases that deserve some of the year-end spotlight, so before Jordan Brand begins its eagerly awaited 2013 campaign, we’re taking a look back at some of the brightest highlights of the star-studded year that just wrapped up.
