Since its 1997 debut, the Nike Air Foamposite One has stood as one of Nike Basketball’s most daring innovations — a silhouette that redefined material use and futuristic design at the time. Originally built for Penny Hardaway, the Foamposite’s molded synthetic upper was a bold step into uncharted territory, offering unparalleled durability and a distinctive aesthetic that made it an instant icon.

The upcoming ‘Psychic Blue’ colorway stays true to that lineage while introducing a fresh, icy twist. The signature Foamposite shell arrives dipped in a smooth, almost pearlescent blue — a hue that shifts under light and adds dimensionality to the sculpted upper. The translucent outsole reinforces the icy theme while maintaining the model’s traditional herringbone traction pattern.

Details remain faithful to OG specs: mesh tongue, carbon fiber shank plate for torsional support, and full-length Zoom Air cushioning embedded in a polyurethane midsole. Branding stays subtle and classic — with Penny’s “1 Cent” logo appearing at the heel and tongue pull tabs.

While Foamposites aren’t everyday releases anymore, drops like the ‘Psychic Blue’ show that Nike knows how to keep this cult classic alive, offering both a nod to the past and a refreshed palette for a new generation of collectors and hoop heads alike.
