The Nike Foamposite series has been a Swoosh staple since the silhouette was introduced in 1997 as Penny Hardaway’s signature. Although Wale and others sparked a popular retro return of both the One and the Pro, the Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy” took the wavy design to a whole new level. Not only did the 2012 All-Star sneakers set the bar for Foams, according to Campless, they changed the entire trajectory of the model. The sneaker data analysts recently investigated the turn of the Foamposite with a chart that maps out the deadstock resale prices of all Foams that were released before and after the “Galaxy” pair, finding that the series has been on a downward spiral ever since. Campless concludes that in the two years since the “Galaxy” release, the resale sneaker market has increased 135%, while the price of Foams has dropped 19%, stating that “Foamposites are past their prime, coming to bat too often and striking out just about every time.”
