The highly anticipated Nike Air Foamposite One “Cough Drop” is set to make a comeback this Fall 2025, reigniting nostalgia among sneaker enthusiasts. Originally released in 2007 and revived in 2010, this iconic colorway is priced at $240 and promises to uphold its strong legacy.
Nike Sportswear is revitalizing the Foamposite line by reintroducing beloved original colorways alongside fresh designs. The “Cough Drop” features a bold black and varsity red colorway with a black Foamposite shell complemented by matching mesh tongues, laces, nubuck eyelets and heel. The bright varsity red accents highlight the branding, pull tabs and tongues, while the shoe’s nickname comes from its unique red semi-translucent outsole, reminiscent of traditional cough drops.

Fall 2025 marks the third release of the Foamposite “One Cough” drop, continuing Nike’s commitment to preserving the last golden era of Foamposites before their popularity waned. This release coincides with a robust lineup for 2025, including other Nike classics like the Undefeated Jordan 4, Air Jordan 12 “Taxi” and Jordan 1 “Bred,” catering to not only Jordan collectors, but Foamposite enthusiasts as well.
Beaverton, Nike’s headquarters, is focused on balancing the revival of retro favorites like the Copper Foams and Galaxy Foams with innovative new styles like the DMV Foamposites and an upcoming Tekken collaboration. This dual strategy ensures that both loyal fans and new customers will find something exciting in Nike’s 2025 offerings.
For those who may have forgotten the allure of the “Cough Drop,” the 2025 release promises to deliver the same fiery red accents paired with the durable black Foamposite material that made the original pair a standout. Enhancements like the Penny Hardaway logo at the heel add a modern twist to the classic design, making the Cough Drop a must-have for the upcoming season.
The Nike Air Foamposite One “Cough Drop” will be available at select Nike Sportswear retailers and online at Nike.com from July through September 2025.
