Nike is always looking in the rearview mirror to bring back the best and most important retro silhouettes from the brand’s storied past, and over the past year or so, Beaverton has paid special attention to the Foamposite. From Air Foamposite Pro and Air Foamposite One colorways to Vaporposite cleats, The Swoosh is ending the year with even more Foam, but this time, ready for whatever weather your winter has in store.
