Back in 2014, Nike Sportswear introduced a premium “Solar Red” take on the Foamposite Pro — a clear nod to the matching colorway of the Air Yeezy 2. Kanye may be backed by adidas these days, but the Swoosh isn’t yet done with ‘Ye’s coveted 2012 release, this time introducing a nod to the “Pure Platinum” colorway of the silhouette. Once again coming in the form of the Foamposite Pro, the homage dons a light grey Foamposite upper as faux snake scales decorate the “Wolf Grey” leather that adorns the collar and eyestay. As expected, vibrant “Solar Red”-like “Bright Crimson” lines the shoe as a glow-in-the-dark outsole and carbon fiber shank provide the finishing touches.

Fans can expect these to hit NSW spots in limited quantities come March 12 for $250 USD.
