One of the most talked-about sneakers revealed at the special event was the Air Jordan 1 Retro “Foamposite”. Black foamposite material is seen on the majority of the upper, while its complimentary attributes include a blue Jordan wings logo near the collar area and blue, translucent outsole. Some purists have decried Jordan Brand, lamenting their use of the Air Jordan 1 as a Dunk-style canvas for lifestyle-oriented colorways.  And even though some will still find themselves too cool for school, this is the literal foot in the mouth for most of those haters. 

The Air Jordan 1 ‘Foamposite’ combines two of the pillars of basketball footwear into one pearly black design. From what we hear there were quite a few items to be talked about but none created quite as much buzz as this Foamposite Air Jordan 1 Retro. The Foamposite material has appeared on a number of models other then those which originated with the material, for example the Big Nike Highs and Nike Blazers released last year. Now it’s Jordan Brand’s turn to give us their own rendition of a foamposite release, on their iconic Air Jordan 1. Black foamposite smothers the entire upper as a subtle hue of blue finds itself added to the Jordan Wings logo and to the translucent outsole.
