The recent response to the iconic Galaxy Foamposite release has proven that with the right marile the keting strategy and efforts, Nike can reclaim the mania around the avant-garde basketball shoe. The energy surrounding Foams is surely at an all-time high, which Nike hopes to cash in on with the upcoming Black/Volt Foamposites dropping in mid-March.
These recent resurgence has motivated Foamposite collectors and hoarders of all things rare to come forward with some unique pieces that rarely see the light of day. Case in point: this “Bronze Cough Drop” sample from 2011, revealed by Index Portland.



This unreleased sample appears to have the translucent red outsole from 2010’s “Cough Drop” Foamposites, while the upper had a unique shade that appears like a blend of grey and olive to emanate a bronze-like finish. In fact, it closely resembles the “Metallic Pewter” colorway from 2011.



This rare sample went up for sale on Index on the afternoon of March 1st, but it has since been removed from the website — possibly due to a quick sale.
