The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Island Green” was originally released in September 2017. It introduced a new burst of energy into the Foamposite franchise. The supercharged colorway on the Air Foamposite Pro was immediately compared to the “Electric Blue” Foamposite from 2011. However, the unique seafoam hue helped the model distinguish itself from the comparison in mind.
It sports a bright molded Foamposite shell in a reflective turquoise color, and a chrome jewel Swoosh along the side. Balancing black details on the eyestays, tongue and collar, and a carbon fiber midfoot shank for durability and support. The translucent icy outsole ties the sneaker together, looking cool in play and off the court. The pair is memorable for that pop of metallic that compliments the crisp clean aqua base. Foamposite fans still appreciate that level of detail.
The Island Green Foamposite Pro is a popular sneaker among collectors for its aggressive palette and futuristic feel. It is one of the more memorable Foamposite releases in the last decade thanks to the pairing of nostalgia and new energy in the model.
Where To Buy
While it is no longer available at retail, they can be found on secondary marketplaces such as StockX.
If you missed this one in 2017, it’s still a great pick-up that has continued cultural relevance in the Foamposite lineup.
