Nike Foamposite One




Statistics




*Please take these numbers with a grain of salt as these are stats that I came up with from my experience, it doesn't mean that you shall have the same results*


Summary


As you all know, Foamposite One is one of Nike's most well known shoes of all times, it features a full length ZOOM unit, with a double-stack on the heel. Yes you heard it right, Zoom, one of Nike's revolutionary technologies, I doubt I need to say anymore.

This shoe is also made with a revolutionary material called Foamposite, hence receiving the name "Foamposite One", now I do know you're all eager to know what is this Foamposite tech, I'll break it down for you right now.
Foamposite is made of polytherane liquid boiled on a temperature between 60°C and 85°C, and then it is molded, cooled, and solidified. The idea of this technology is to mold on the wearers foot so the shoe fits and adapts on the wearers foot, not to mention that these are the most durable sneakers that Nike ever released.

The traction is made of herringbone, and well... You can never go wrong on good old herringbone. T
he high top on the shoe offers amazing support on your ankles and the breathability is just excellent, and the colorways are simply breathtaking with an infinite variety to chose from and even some exclusive limited edition models.

It might be an expensive shoe, but it's worth every "Penny", yes I did it if you catch my drift.

Nike did go all out on this one for sure.

Bottom Line


So as discussed in the above, this shoe excels in everything with no setbacks, Nike was pretty fierce on designing this model, it is safe to say that it went all out and did a superior job with it in every aspect. What more could you ask from a basketball shoe, on the court it's ferocious with the features it gives you starting from traction, and ranging to the materials/fit/support/cushion, and amazing looks off the court, you will surely turn some heads and receive plenty of compliments walking around in these. Yes I do agree that the retail price is 220$ and it might go even higher on some colorways, stratospheric on other colorways, but I'll be real with you, it is worth the money. You can get more value/features from other shoes and for way less money, but it all depends on your budget, if you can afford these, then by all means, buy them.
