If you’ve been into sneakers for a while then I’m sure you remember the Foamposite craze during the late 2000s’ and early 2010s’. The silhouette was one of the most coveted sneakers of all time. In this video, we take a closer look at the history behind Nike’s Foamposite techonology and how it came to be.

It doesn’t matter if most of the US don’t like foams, NIKE will always make money on Foams off the STRENGTH OF MARYLAND, Washington DC, and VIRGINIA
I love to see it man. DMV is great grounds for sneaker culture 😎
NachoAverageFinds it definitely is but we’re ALWAYS over looked
Still rockin my foams from 06 and they still look great. Oldest pair I have is the rare reds from 01 I think? I’ll wait until the foam wave comes back around to unload all my old foams and flightposites, from NoVA btw
I got my Cough Drop pair a the Nike outlets in Vegas for $95!
AND NYC
I picked up my cough drops in the outlets for $98 in 2010, I was the only dude in highschool with foamposites at the time. Then the galaxy foams came out a few years later and changed the game.
Damn that’s a steal bro!
I’m from Orlando and Penny had sneakerheads HYPE after he rocked the Foams. Every color showed up in the outlets too lol
Man! I wish I would have copped back then
What part of Orlando you from?(checking your Orlando card lol) I went to Evans high school
Chris smith oh you a Pine Hills dude lol; I lived on the east, right off Curry Ford

The Foams are so ahead of its time, it only became truly mainstream more than a decade after it was first released.
If there’s only one shoe I’d buy again and again for the rest of my life, it would be the Foamposite ones.
Same here, man. Though, I’m a Pro man myself. That sweet swoosh gives a nice balance to the foam upper. Ones or Pros, I respect all Foam Heads. Peace ✌️
@@kennybeans6115 WordisBond! Something about that check does something real good to it. But that Royal blue and eggplant on the 1s will always be 2 of my favorites
Man I had the original royal blue and the black ones. Somedays I would rock one blue and one black one . My favorite shoe. I spent my whole check on the royal blue when they came out, 200 dollars but Man did I get so much action. I think the black ones coming out in December THIS YEAR
I’m a fan all day lol
The green goblin from spiderman would look cool in those green foamposites...
😂😂😂 He really would
He actually wore flightposites in amazing Spider-Man lol
@@topy12456 and spiderman wore the Jordan 1s as we know

Memphis went absolutely nuts over the Memphis Tigers Foamposites. So glad I got a pair.
Shoutout to Memphis!
Memphis
I couldn't believe the hype on the galaxy foams. People drop a thousand on shoes now a days like it's nothing but back then, it was big deal
Hugeeee deal lol a shift in sneaker culture for sure
This man ain't never been to DC them joints are everywhere in the DMV.
Hahaha it’s true
The department of motor vehicle?

Nike needs to release more simple Flightposite flavors.
They OD a lil bit on the colors forsure
Funny story. I kept hearing rappers talking about the Eggplant Foamposites in their songs. So, I looked them up online. I’m from NYC, but was living in KCMO at the time, so I NEVER saw them in the stores hear. I started copping mine on eBay and loved how firm they were. It was funny because my wife HATES them and the loud colors but every time I wear them, all the little kids point, look, and tell their mom how bad they want shoes like mine (I’m 52). Anyway, before I could find any Foams in the stores, I just happened to be in a Nike outlet looking for sweats, etc. I strolled through the shoes just in case and wasn’t planning on getting anything because I knew that 12s and 13s would be all ugly stuff that nobody wanted. Well, I found my first pair of the Concord Grapes for like $110 and I got the 12.5 and the 13s. They 13s fit the best and I fell in LOVE. M
Bro, you have no idea how in 1997 Foams were way ahead of time.
What’s even more crazier is that 25 years after, they are still ahead of time.
No offend to Jordan, Kobe and other sneakers but Foams are in my heart by miles “top ever” basketball shoes 🙏🏻
Another great review, did you forget Foam slippers !
Yessir!!!!! Every new nacho average finds video is a W on my week
I appreciate it G!
Me: My name is Jay, and I'm a Foam addict.
People at meeting: Hi Jay (goes in for hug)
Me: BACK UP, THESE ARE LIMITED !!!
Lls! Thought about my initial comment just like dat! Best comment!
Hardaway shoes are underrated af. I love to have them but they're just not available everywhere
he said "failed release" and "struggled to sell". i remember me and everybody i played hoop with wanted these. they dropped on a school day and everybody sent their parents to nike town to go stand in line for em. my pops got up extra early and grabbed mine. i remember it the complete opposite of bro. nobody could find a pair. i almost got robbed after every basketball game i played in these. maybe they only were huge in the bay area, but these were the biggest deal in 97
This channel deserves a Gold YT button!
I have always wanted a pair of penny 2 back in elementary school. Now at 33, I think it´s time...
I've been waiting for this video!!!!
Glad we could deliver man!
NachoAverageFinds Keep it up with the 🔥videos must be a lot of work on researching and editing
I had an actual dream where I had a pair of Foamposites on. They were a pair that I saw at Ross but I didn't buy them. Months later I had that dream. They were a white and grey pair.
Sweet dreams bruh 😂😂
Yes another Nacho vid about one of my favourite players
One of the greatest to do it!
Foamposites are one of the best shoes ever made. In seventh grade all my friends had them and i saved up to get a pair. I’m now in college and turning 21 and still rocking foams. Nowadays i only have eggplants and electric greens but i used to have the electric blue, cactus, sport blue and the pine greens. They are forever my favorite
I'm from the first generation... In DC, you know who had money by their shoes. We've been wearing Foams since 97.
I bought them day 1 back in the 90s. Loved the futuristic look, still do
I absolutely love Foamposites. I'm gonna collect many of them. They have the best color ways hands down.
Dopeness, Neon Royal Foams are the number 1 sneaker of all time for me, this is the content that the culture lacks nowadays, shout outs from Puebla Mexico
This is a great channel, very humble and knowledgeable team
Keep killin it
🤜🏽🤛🏽
Yo, enjoyed this but you missed an important part of the story (I’m 46 years old and remember this vividly). Nike introduced the foamposite material as a partial panel on a couple basketball silhouettes before eventually making the all-over Foamposite One. I don’t remember the names of those models but I remember it as taking about two years to work up to the Foamposite One. That said, keep up the great work on the channel!
Oh word!? I never knew that and I did a lot of research. Thanks for sharing that man! Appreciate you watching the video G
Man. That 1 cent logo really is cool. I also love the style of the foams. Very different and eyecatching
I knowww the more I learned about it the more I realized how dope that logo really is
Great informative video as usual! Keep it up!
Thank you man! Appreciate you watching
Actually love the Foamposite
Same here bro!
duuuude, such a good video, thanks nacho
so impressed woth yalls come up, miss the thrift vids but i love these too :3
AWESOME content 👍🏻
Great video! 🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Appreciate you Dee
Remember in the 2000s when no one cared about Jordan 1’s
remember from the 2010s to 2018 when no one cared for dunks
Yeah shoes come, go and come back ... as with anything Collectable
Your vids are soo soo awesome and relaxin 💙🔥
Thanks Dustin! Glad you could enjoy them man
Nice video as always😊
Hey thanks 🙏 appreciate you watch them
I live in the DMV and foamposites have always been huge in this area. When they first came out and when they first retroed
Another superb video! Takes me back to the 90's. Thanks and all the best to your channel. ps, still hoping to see a video on the Air More Uptempo hehe
That one is on the todo list! Thanks for the kind words man
@@NachoAverageFinds You and your brother are doing an outstanding job. 💪🏻💪🏻
Your channel is amazing.
They retro-ed them before 2007. They re-released them in 2002 I remember. I was a senior in high school when they dropped them again.
Hey, always Love all you’re videos!!!! I remember 10 years ago when Foamposite had its resurgence I had the OG Royal, Pro Pearl, Cooper, And Eggplant. I was about 11-12 years old in 1997 when the OG Foamposite released and my parents weren’t gonna buy a name brand shoe let alone $200 pair of Sneakers!!! Kids these days have no idea what the sneaker culture was like in the 1990’s and 2000’s. They got it hella easy with eBay, Flight Club, Stadium Goods, Stockxx, GOAT etc... Back then when they said SOLD OUT it meant SOLD OUT!!! Lol 😆 and you ain’t never seeing that shoe again!!!
The Foamposite are VERY DURABLE and They Last A LONG TIME!!!
Just got a couple of pairs of Nike Air Max Triax 96 the OG Colors. If you get the chance I noticed this part of this video that you show all the 1996 Nike Releases from the Eastbay Catalogue could you do it on them??? Nike Air Max 96 and Nike Air Nomo(Which I also owned the Navy Blue and Red Pair) great shoe as well, and Nike Air Max Triax 96. Try doing a video on sneaker releases of the year example the video could be called This Year in Sneaker(Put the Name of the Brand) History 1995 or 1996 etc. Or you could do a video on Bape or Hypebeast in the 2000’s just giving suggestions!
Thank You 🙏 As Always
Blessings 😇🙏

Penny s logo is fire

Thanks Richard! Appreciate you always leaving a comment man. Hope all is well 👊
Nacho at it again!!! Got me Foamin” at the mouth!!!😂😂
Hahah Nice profile pic!
I really enjoy these videos keep up guys
Almost at 100k subs
Thanks Trevor! Almost there ;) thanks for the support man.
Still have a pair of foams one, you have to break them in though at first and then it will mold to your feet.
That's what I've heard haha You got to really break them in first
I just love this channel
Thanks for watching the videos 😎😎 means alot
wow! dude what an amazing video
Great video again as always! Could you make Video about my very long time favorite model the Air max 90?
Hopefully in the near future we can make that happen we did one on the AM1
I had my First Pair of Foam's in 2002 with the Nike Pureposite
Those are dope
Wow. Forgot about those.
I got the weathermans, love them joints 😅
Those are so cool haha I love that design
Got a pair of foamposite one cough drop at Seattle Nike outlet for $80 back in 2011.
Noti gang!!!!! Great video
🙏🙏🙏🙏
You guys are the best
Man that makes me feel good. Thank you!
Even if it might not be the prettiest shoe for many, you got to admit they are unique and creative
Super unique and groundbreaking in technology
@@NachoAverageFinds indeed, the materials alone were a inovation
And the lines on the sides remind me of a bengal’s stripes. I’m not going to lie, I feel so hard wearing them. Without a doubt, one of the best of all time, imo.
@@kennybeans6115 hahah I bet you do, you don´t see a pair of those everyday!
@@hugo.canosa
Yep, definitely in a league of their own.
nacho and brian needs more love bruhh! lets make it 100k by september! i love you and your videos guys,all the best to nacho and brian!🔥👍🔥👍
Man Dennis thanks so much for that. Means the world! Got some more content for you on the way 😎😎🙏🙏
Even tho they get hate, I played in them for a basketball tournament they didn't miss and they are surprisingly great performer.
Everyone’s saying after they break in they feel really good
How long did it take until they were hoop ready?
To heavy to play in in my opinion
@@biglordebunnyrabbit627 bruh it took my like 2 heavy hoop sessions(for me more than 2 hours of hooping).
@@BlackBuu yeah you may be right, only reason they were good for me, is that I play as a forward
Got all the good solid colorways slowed down due to saturation of colorways but lowkey prices are getting high for older sought after models looking foward to the black on black this fall shout out all the foams heads still in the game
No one in Italy have a pair of Foamposites because people hate them...
but for my opinion those are beautiful...i really want a pair of foamposite in my collection...but they cost 225 euros...damn
Good video Bryan and, as usual, a greeting from Italy
Ciao Giuseppe! Thanks for sharing that man. I hope you’ll be able to cop some Foamposites out in Italy 🇮🇹 stay safe my friend. Thanks for watching 🙏
Don’t worry bro, you have good taste. Trust me. Peace ✌️
Dope video' Pain82 does a lot of foamposite content also just not 1s and pros but everything that has foam on it💯
People follow trends now and say foams are dead. My favorite shoe hands down and still collecting to this day!
The irony of hypeboys and clones; if they only knew that doing your own thing at your own pace is what’s actually cool. Posers will never understand, and that’s the way it outta be.
Foamposite Pros and Ones will always be clean.
@@kennybeans6115 i agree with you 100%
@@Jaydeezzee1
I appreciate it.
"Soles glue in the dark." 😉
Foamposite still one of my favorite kicks ever ♥ 🙌 definitely prefer them with swoosh gonna cop the purple camo foams soon
Can’t go wrong with some Foamposite Pros 😎😎
Yea the pros with the swoosh are super clean
Nice vid
Thank you for watching Gung 🙏
The foamposite are a such a cool shoe. Love from Chile 🇨🇱!
Peace to my homies in Chile! Thanks for watchiing Sebastian
I love the look of Foamposite good vid
Me too. Thanks for watching man!
I've heard of the AF1 Fomposite, damn I'm a big AF1 guy and I would like to get my hands on that shoe. Great content as always! Keep safe!
Appreciate it Bren! The AF1 Foamposites are more affordable actually :)
@@NachoAverageFinds actually planning on buying one, tho it ain't easy to find one here in the Philippines.
Got them in red and this weird purple color for $40 each size 11. Got 4 pairs of each size 10 10.5 and 11. Best steal ever from an outlet. Buy mine on StockX ;)
@@Woooben wish I could easily purchase stuff from StockX, it takes forever for a sneaker to be shipped out here
Still roc my Light Carbon 😁
Bro keep them videos coming.
Thanks bro! Got more on the way 👊
nice video bro 😃
My man! Thanks dude. I need to catch up on your vids haha I really appreciate the kind words
I had the foamposite pro shoes around 2000s and it was my best basketball sneaker ever, even though it was a little narrow, but it was the best to wear.
The Asteroid foams are my favorite
If there was a weartesters x nacho collab....🔥🔥🔥
I’m all for it! We love Weartesters. Been watching him for years
NachoAverageFinds it would be the most wrinkliest brain of all sneaker videos
Foamposite is cool and comfortable thanks for the history info again nice beard btw haha
Haha thanks man! Gotta trim it soon
Love the foams. Don’t know why people are sleeping in them now but I’m going to keep copping on the cheap
Haha who knows, they might blow up again like Dunks
Man, I love these joints even more now!
Best sneaker videos on CZcams
Thanks B! I really appreciate the kind words!
The paranorman foams are fire 🔥 also, great video man keep it up 💪🏾
Neat and very rare shoe. Not personally my favorite kick but I see the appeal.
Same here. I love the history of the sneaker
Another Awesome vid Bro!..Pip messed that up but glad Penny got them! Foamlife!!!
Back when those penny foams dropped I didn’t think Jordan’s could be topped but when I seen them in person I wanted them instantly but never seen them anywhere for sale. I was rocking the playoff 12’s at that time.
One of my favorite shoes hands down!!
love your conten!!!!
The greatest most legendary shoe tech ever🙌
The boys are back 😌and so am I to watch,
What up Stephen! Appreciate you stopping by G. I see you!
Favorite shoe of all time followed by Airmax 95,97,98,Plus, and TN.
Good taste. And good looking. 😉
Great work/video Nacho! I played college basketball at Arizona from 2005-09 and we were supposed to rock the blue Nike foams for the 10 year anniversary during the 2006-07 season but we got some huaraches instead from Nike. Still salty about that! 😂👟
Hahaha damn Whattttt they did you guys dirty 😂😂
I love Foamposites, easily the most comfortable shoe ever. I have 5 pairs, weatherman, spiderman, concord, pewter and elephant. I'm always looking out for more.
The shoe looks really unique, there’s not much like it. Tbh I didn’t know they molded to your feet 😂
Sup Henry, Thanks for the comment mang! Yeah haha It's a crazy sneaker technology for sure
Trust me, I have a pair, had it for 3 years, bottoms worn out and everything. The “foamposite” material doesn’t mold to your feet.
They really need to get back in the game like sbs it’s crazy but not too long ago foams was selling out like crack wit the og colorways now they just be dropping any old ugly colorway and they sit and collect dust
I have 5 different colorway.... They dont mold ur feet but they are comfortable asf!!!!
I got the eggplants. They tight AF. Literally. Not for wide footers🚫😂. Mold my ass (pause).
Can you do more Nike technology vids? I know you covered Shox and Air, but the others like React, Free, Zoom, Luna etc.
Hello...enjoyed this video. Hopefully soon you should do the history of the Penny Hardaway Signature Line. That would be a great one to watch. Have a wonderful day. 🙂
Thank you man! We will cover the Hardaway stuff soon. Appreciate watching and thank you for the comment.
I got the Alternative Galaxy Colorway and The Paranorman and I love them
Me and 3 of my guys bought a pair in 97 and wore them in a high school summer league. People went nuts. Lol. Like $200 for shoes?!?! Are you crazy. Lol. It didn't even match our uniforms. We just wanted to make a statement.
Haha thats legendary man
Well played. Great minds are alike, and realheads always want to buck the system. Respect. Peace ✌️
These look so 🔥, I’m glad they got their resurgence
Yeah, but it’s bitter sweet. Of course Foams deserve all the recognition and accolades, but at the same time too much buzz will drive in the hypeboys and resellers and thus increase the potential for us genuine fans to miss out and not score.
That AZ Wildcat team thoooo💯💪
Champs
I've always been a foam head.... I remember you could buy a pair of foams for 100$ every summer at Dr. Jay's .... I still have a pair of black on black.... black top black sole... great condition just the sole is separating from the having them so long.....
They’re a pretty sturdy shoe from what I hear lol probably because of that mold. Thanks for watching!
Bruh i have watched this video a hundred times and never realized i never pressed the like button 😢... Great video as always!
I was on them blue joints day 1. It was a Friday. I remember buying them in China town.
