Cough Drop Nike Foamposites Are Releasing In 2025

The 2025 slate continues piling up.

Cough Drop Nike Foamposites Are Releasing In 2025

2025 is already looking like a banner year for sneakers, particularly on the Nike Inc. side of things. “Vault” pairs like the Undefeated Jordan 4 will be joined by all-time classics like the Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” and Jordan 1 “Bred.” However, it’s not just Jordan collectors that’ll be well fed. The prolonged push for the Foamposite will continue into 2025, as the “Cough Drop” from 2010 is reportedly returning.

While the “Cough Drop” moniker was minted in 2010, this black-on-red colorway first hit the public with 2007’s “Varsity Red.” Regardless of which pair you have more attachment to, the 2025 version will replicate the same scheme of black Foamposite material sandwiched between fiery accents underfoot and up top via the pull tabs and assorted branding, including the ineffable Penny Hardaway logo at the heel.

Though this pair may not carry the same vaunted status as releases that predated it, it does represent the last true “golden era” for Foamposites before public sentiment around the retro basketball model began to cool. Beaverton is clearly putting an emphasis on bringing that energy back with a steady stream of significant releases. It’s been a two-pronged approach between faithful retros of decades-old sneakers (these, Copper Foams & Galaxy Foams) and brand new formulations intended to become future classics down the line (DMV Foamposites & an upcoming Tekken collab).

In case this shoe has faded from your mind in its almost 15 years off the shelf, refamiliarize yourself via shots of that 2010 drop courtesy of Stadium Goods.
