Nike is preparing to bring a high-octane visual spectacle to its retro basketball lineup, dropping a first official look at the upcoming Air Foamposite Pro PRM “Glow in the Dark.” Scheduled for a mid-summer release, the sneaker leans aggressively into theatrical illumination by modifying the silhouette’s most defining characteristic—the molded exterior upper—into a canvas that fully responds to the dark.
What separates this release from standard glowing accents is the sheer scale of the execution. Instead of restricting the glow-in-the-dark compound to the outsole tread or small branding highlights, Nike’s design team coated the entire sculpted polyurethane shell. In normal daylight conditions, the sneaker adopts a highly versatile, understated aesthetic. The main body features a pale “Summit White” tint across the heavy molded side panels, contrasted sharply by a jet-black finish covering the mesh tongue, eyestays, laces, ankle collar, and the model’s signature oversized jewel Swoosh on the lateral side. Smaller embroidered white Swooshes on the toe box, tongue tab, and heel add a final layer of daylight contrast.
Once the lights go out, however, the unadorned upper shifts into a high-visibility, radiant green canvas. The Foamposite line has historically served as a prime foundation for experimental graphic finishes and metallic colors, and this upcoming release directly honors that legacy. Longtime subcultural connoisseurs will also spot a loose thematic lineage tracing back to the Nike Zoom Rookie from the Penny Hardaway era, which similarly adopted a full-body luminescent treatment during the early 2010s.
The structural details of the classic Foamposite Pro remain entirely unaltered and aggressively styled. Underneath the glowing shell sits the performance-rooted, rigid carbon-fiber shank plate nestled inside a black rubber outsole for premium arch support and traction. Traditional “Foamposite” typography lines the pull tabs at the heel and tongue, preserving the exact, heavy-duty industrial composition that shook up the sneaker ecosystem when it first debuted on courts in 1997.
