Nike is bringing back a classic favorite with the Nike Air Foamposite One “Cough Drop” set to return in Fall 2025. This retro drop honors the original design that debuted in 2007, winning over sneaker fans with its bold look.
The 2025 version features the same deep black Foam shell and matte red outsole. Unlike the 2012 release, Nike ditches the translucent bottom in favor of the original solid red finish. This change highlights Nike’s focus on delivering authentic retro designs in 2025.
In addition, red accents hit the Swoosh logos, heel tabs, and tongue piping. The shoe’s black suede eyelets and mesh tongue further elevate its rugged appeal. Paired with carbon fiber midfoot shanks, it offers the performance and style Foamposite fans expect.
While many recent Foamposite colorways have had mixed reactions, the “Cough Drop” proves timeless styles never fade. It blends heritage design with a bold colorway that stands out on the streets or in collections.
