Nike Air Foamposite One Lunar New Year (2018)

The Nike Air Foamposite One Lunar New Year (2018) is a special edition of the Nike Air Foamposite, a basketball shoe known for its futuristic and iconic foam shell upper. It was released in part of the 2018 Chinese New Year celebrations. The shoes have a Foamposite upper which is basically a shell molded from synthetic material called polyurethane (PU) foam. This allows for a seamless one-piece upper eliminating the traditional cut-and-sew designs. The upper has a single black patch running from the collar down to the laces, while the rest is covered in a graphic print showcasing fireworks and floral patterns inspired by the Lunar New Year celebrations. The sole unit is white with a black carbon fiber plate around the midfoot. What our experts love about the Nike Air Foamposite One Lunar New Year (2018) is the foamposite material used on the upper which is durable and lightweight, and also molds to the shape of your feet over time creating a customized fit. The shoes were released retailing at $275 on February 6, 2018.
