Late last summer, rumors persisted that the Swoosh was set to team up with none other than the Wu-Tang Clan for a pair of collaborative Foams. Unfortunately, it turns out that those rumors weren’t true after all, but Nike is dropping a Foamposite One fit for RZA, Raekwon, Ghostface and company. Officially unveiled today, the kicks — as you might expect — stay true to the classic Foamposite formula, in this case employing a bold yellow hue for the Foam panels and branding while the usual black accents persist throughout.

Perhaps yet another hip-hop-inspired Foamposite (don’t forget Nike’s Air Yeezy 2-inspired Pros), the “Optic Yellow” colorway of the hardwood classic drops June 24 at NSW retailers for $230 USD.
