Nike is bringing back one of the most legendary Foamposite releases with the upcoming Nike Air Foamposite One “Tianjin 2.0”, expected to launch in May. The new version revisits the story behind the ultra-rare Nike Air Foamposite One “Tianjin”, a pair that originally dropped in 2015 and quickly became one of the most coveted Foamposites ever made.
The original Tianjin edition celebrated the deep basketball culture of Tianjin, China. Because it released exclusively in Asia, the sneaker became extremely difficult to obtain. As a result, it gained grail status among collectors and often commanded massive resale prices.
For 2026, Nike keeps the storytelling intact. The Foamposite shell once again features detailed Chinese-inspired artwork, including lotus flowers and carp fish. The design also references Fuwa, the mascots associated with the 2008 Beijing Olympics, reinforcing the cultural narrative behind the release.
While the graphics remain faithful to the original, the new pair introduces a noticeable update. The Nike Air Foamposite One “Tianjin 2.0” swaps some of the darker accents for clean white detailing around the collar and interior. This change gives the sneaker a brighter look while preserving the spirit of the original design.
Nike Air Foamposite One “Tianjin” 2026 Release Date
For now, the Nike Air Foamposite One “Tianjin 2.0” is expected to launch in May 2026 across Greater China through DEAL Lifestyle. A wider global release has not been confirmed, but it remains a possibility.
