The ‘Royal’ era of Penny’s career was officially over when he was traded to the Phoenix Suns to join Jason Kidd, but gladly the Purple/Orange colorway is just as flashy! Already made iconic by Charles Barkley, Nike’s Purple/Orange offerings have always been enticing, but for Foamposite fans, it doesn’t get any better than this. Tomorrow, Nike Sportswear will drop the ‘Suns’ colorway of the Air Foamposite One, so don’t miss out on this great release by hitting up your local retailer or getting one from 347legendary23 on eBay.

Sometimes the simplest touches to a shoe transforms it into something exponentially better. That’s the basic formula that Jason Negron aka Sole Swap has gone after, as he’s mastered the art of the minor upgrade and created some of the best customs out there – mostly by changing the color of the sole. He hits the upcoming ‘Suns’ Foamposite release with a rather predictable upgrade (something that perhaps Nike should’ve done itself), pairing the Purple/Orange upper with a vibrant orange-tinted outsole. Check out the gallery of Sole Swap’s Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Suns’ below and stay tuned for the official retail release of the GR version this weekend.

Oregon State isn’t quite as spoiled as the folks down in Eugene as far as Nike goodies go, but they still manage their share of Phil Knight love. Making up for the disparity a little bit is this latest bit of footwear from JP Custom Kicks, a Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Oregon State’ custom. The shoe is dipped with an all-over orange look and outfitted with some Beavers/OSU patches sort of in the same fashion as the ‘Ducks’ Foamposite from a while back. Continue reading for a full set of shots and tell us how you feel about the Nike Air Foamposite One with a ‘Beavers’ lean in the comments section.

The recent Nike Air Fomaposite One ‘Stealth’ release was a no brainer for a lot of folks thanks to the neutral colorway offered up by the all black look. The custom scene no doubt went crazy for the model as well what with the bare bones look that provides such an easy canvas to work with. Proving that is yet another Sole Swap remix of the Nike Air Foamposite One, this one taking advantage of an Orlando Magic color scheme and throwing a couple quick stars in to boot. Continue reading for all the images of the Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Magic’ custom from Sole Swap and give us your two cents in the comments section.

Is the Nike Air Foamposite One still the hottest item on the market? Considering the ‘Fighter Jets’ are still available at retail in some locations, perhaps the once sizzling-hot Foamposite One has cooled off a bit and what was once ‘Foamsanity’ is now ‘Foa-moderate’. Nothing like a classic Orlando make-up to give it that necessary ‘umph’ as we get a first look at the Air Foamposite One in a sweet Royal/Light Grey colorway courtesy; these are potentially the Sport Royal/Game Royal-Wolf Grey release that is currently slated for a September 2013 release at $230, so check out the additional angles below and be sure to stick with Sneaker News for more updates.
