The Nike Air Foamposite One “Fighter Jet” is a sneaker that actually has a bit of a thematic connection to the light up look. You can think of the LED treatment embedded in the icy outsole as an extension of the cockpit lights you might see in such a vehicle. Stay with us after the jump to see the Nike Air Foamposite One “Fighter Jet” upgraded with the light up look, one that looks particularly mean in the dark, and tell us how they compare to Sole Swap’s other recent remix of the sneaker in the comments below.

The forecast on tax day is cloudy for many, no matter how sunny the skies. This turned out to be a good thing for Foamposite fanatics and Kevin Durant fans, as yesterday brought us a first glimpse at a crazy new One with meteorological detailing. This ‘Weatherman’ Nike Air Foamposite One applies the Doppler radar look that made the Zoom KD IV of the same name so spectacular. Reactions to this pair’s first viewing appeared fairly polarized considering the popularity of the Weatherman KD 4s; further proof of just how important this iconic silhouette remains within the sneakerhead community and how much people adore the classic unibodied Foams. Check out some new images below and let us know where these would rank if they end up making it to retail.

Furthering proving that the graphic style of the Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy” was just the tip of the iceberg is this-the Nike Air Foamposite One “Weatherman”. The sneaker has a sort of Doppler radar print across the upper, perhaps suggesting that there’s a theme attached echoing the prized Nike Zoom KD IV “Weatherman” release (One that would make sense given the Kevin Durant/DMV Foamposite connection). Whether or not there’s a connection there remains a mystery at this time, but you can see that graphic prints are becoming more common with the Foamposite. Continue reading to check out more on this Nike Air Foamposite One with its weatherman/Doppler radar print across the upper and we’ll update you with info on this unique Foamposite sample.

For the fourth year in a row, the Sneaker News staff went on a weeks-long search for the greatest sneakers in specific categories, reaching out to our loyal readers with a tournament-style feature with the goal of whittling down thirty-two candidates to one sole winner. With Foamposites being such a hot item over the last few years, the category for the 2013 Tournament seemed like a given, and with thirty-two great Foamposite releases to choose from, it truly seemed like it was anyone’s game. Although there were a few tight races and surprising upsets on the way, four #1 seeds reached the Final Four, and the Championship battle was a face-off between the two undoubted polar opposites of the Foamposite spectrum – the original “Royal” and the game-changing “Galaxy”. We’ve come to a final conclusion for the tournament here, and we can say with confidence that result is one we can roll with! Before we continue, we’d like to thank all of our readers who participated – it was as fun for us as we hope it was for you. So without further ado – the winner of the Sneaker News March Madness Foamposite Tournament is…

Like we mentioned in the post a short while ago detailing a shoe synonymous with the season Charles Barkley came closest to an NBA title, the Round Mound of Rebound’s wildly successful Foamposite tribute is one of the big drops coming up next Saturday, April 20th.

The first of three colorways on the horizon hits select Nike Sportswear dealers in just under two weeks and you can see some crisp new images below.

In 2010, the Sneaker News staff brought the sneaker category to March Madness, starting with an all-out slugfest between Air Jordans, Nike Basketball, Air Force 1s, and SB Dunks – with the Air Jordan XI coming out on top as the best sneaker of all-time. Since then, we’ve continued the Madness with two straight Air Jordan categories, so a felt a change was due. Choosing Foamposites for this year’s tournament seemed like the perfect call, andwith Foams evolving from a regional hit to a nationwide phenomenon, it was time for our loyal readers and Foamposite fanatics to crown the best ever. Thirty-two Foam candidates have been narrowed down to two, and we can say with confidence that no other releases since the original year in 1997 deserve to be in the Championship Round than the two featured here. The voting starts now, so take a look below to see why the Royals and Galaxy each deserve to win this coveted title and be sure to place your vote as we near the conclusion of this successful Sneaker News March Madness Foamposite Tournament.
VOTING STAYS OPEN UNTIL APRIL 9th, 11:59 PM EST.
RESULTS WILL BE REVEALED ON APRIL 10th.

Hey Foamposite heads – are y’all ready for another camouflage-print pair of Foams? The answer seems obvious, but considering the $235 Fighter Jets didn’t exactly have sneakerheads running to the stores (and some stores still have them available at retail), maybe the Green Camo Foamposite Pro won’t clear out of stores as fast as we originally anticipated. However, these have a true military appeal with classic colors on the camo print and the sick Gum outsole being a nice throwback to one of the OGs in 1997, so maybe this Green Camo Pro – arguable a “Camo Foamposite” done right – will be a bigger hit. There’s no confirmation if this version will be the final release, but it’s a safe bet at this point. We’d like to know if the Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Camo” will be a big draw, so let us know and stay tuned for more updates.

Remember last year when the Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy” magically restocked at Nike’s 21 Mercer spot in NYC well after the release chaos played out? It looks like the same is happening this year with the Nike Foamposite piece from the 2013 All-Star lineup-the Nike Barkley Posite Max “Area 72″. This will be an in-store only affair, so if you’re planning to purchase you’ve gotta hoof it to Soho tomorrow, April 5th. Mark your calender for the Nike Barkley Posite Max “Area 72″ restock and remember that you can always see what’s available on eBay.
