Nike Air Foamposite One “Eggplant” Is Coming Back in 2024
Marking the fruit-inspired colorway’s third release since debuting in 2009.
The Foamposite lineage doesn’t garner as much attention or acclaim as it once did, especially like it did back in 2012 when its famed “Galaxy” colorway debuted, but Nike will be attempting to give it new life in 2024 by releasing a handful of its classic colorways. One of the brand’s plans is to revive the Nike Air Foamposite One “Eggplant” — an iteration that first made its debut in 2009 and last hit the market in 2017.
Early imagery of the pair has yet to surface, but it’s likely that it will return with all of its original design cues. The overall design of these kicks leans on a “Varsity Purple” hue to do most of the heavy lifting. It shrouds the mid-cut sneaker’s ribbed side panels the tiny forefoot Swooshes and the stripes that appear on the tongue and heel tabs. Sitting adjacent to those components are solid black accents such as the nubuck overlays that neighbor the throat, mesh booties and the carbon fiber plate that resides in the middle of the midsoles. Downstairs, the kicks are treated with icy blue tints.
At the time of writing, Nike is targeting a Spring 2024 release, and they will be sold for an MSRP of $240 USD. Check out a 2017 pair in the gallery above while you wait on their arrival.
In case you missed it, a Nike Terminator Low “Brown Croc” colorway has been revealed.
