What’s the greatest Nike Foamposite of all time? Your answer probably depends on the era you grew up in (or when you fell in love with sneakers). For the more “new school” crowd, it might be the “Galaxy” Foamposite One, a release so chaotic it practically forced the industry into raffles and online-only drops. But if you were around for the model’s debut, the Foamposite Pro “Pearl” likely sits near the top of your list, an original 1997 colorway immortalized in the Spike Lee joint He Got Game.
It was about a year ago that we reported the “Pearl” Foamposite Pro would return, and that moment is finally almost here. The sneaker is officially set for a Black Friday 2025 drop (November 28th), joining the “Black Cat” 4s and the Air Max 95000 as the shopping holiday’s key releases. The “Pearl” Foams have returned several times over the years, sometimes looking a bit too white for fans’ liking. This summer’s Nike SNKRS Showcase had people worried that might happen again, but fortunately, these DTLR images show a pretty faithful return to the 1997 shade.
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl” drops on Black Friday 2025 for $240 in men’s sizing via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. See official retailer images below if these are making your wish list.
