New Kicks: Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Black Suede’

The Nike Air Foamposite One has been classified as a staple of the streetwear community and with that comes quite a few heavy handed colorways. For this latest look however Nike has toned it down to show the softer side of a typically murderous make up.

 

The shoe’s foamy upper is replaced by a soft, supple suede and while it gives the shoe a smoother look than we are accustomed to it is just as welcome. With leather trim on the laceplate not much else has changed though as the carbon fiber flight plate is in place on the outsole and everything else is in the proper place.

These are wonderful in both the tonal and textural sense and they definitely live up to any hype that will undoubtedly surround them. Look for them to release on Aug. 29 to select Nike retailers.
