The Nike Air Foamposite One “Black Volt” makes a bold return in 2025. First unveiled in 1997, this iconic sneaker has always held a special place in the hearts of shoe enthusiasts. Designed by Eric Avar, the Foamposite One introduced a seamless molded upper that revolutionized sneaker design with its durability and support.
After a period of being overshadowed by sleeker, knit uppers like the Nike Flyknit and adidas Yeezy, the Foamposite is experiencing a renaissance. The resurgence includes the reissue of original colorways like the “Royal” and fan favorites like the “Copper”, “Eggplant” and the coveted “Galaxy”. The return of the “Black Volt” edition signals Nike‘s commitment to honoring its classics while appealing to modern tastes.
The upcoming “Black Volt” model stays true to the silhouette’s bold aesthetic. It features a sleek, all-black molded foam upper complemented by a matching lace collar and interior. Bright Volt hues flood the semi-translucent outsole and accent the upper for a vibrant contrast. Penny Hardaway’s signature one-cent logo adorns the heel and tongue in the same electric green, paying homage to the basketball legend. The insoles feature a contrasting design with black and neon elements.
While the exact release date is unconfirmed, the Nike Air Foamposite One “Black Volt” is expected to retail for $240.
