Nike Air Foamposite One “Neon Blue” Launching 09/13 Colorway: NEON ROYAL/WHITE/BLACK Style: Men's & Kids' Basketball Shoe

Release Date: September 13, 2024

Sep 6, 2024

In the 1980s and ’90s, leather basketball sneakers with rubber outsoles ruled the day. So in 1997, when Nike introduced its original Foamposite shoes, it disrupted an industry by breaking all the rules. Other than a small Swoosh located near the toe, the shoe let its futuristic, molded synthetic upper and carbon fiber plate upper speak for itself.

The latest launch from the Swoosh brings back this fan fave in an OG colorway. Be sure to pick up the Nike Air Foamposite One "Neon Royal" in men’s sizes or a pair of the Little Posite Ones for smaller sneakerheads. We’ll have those up for grabs in toddler, preK and grade school sizes. And to guarantee your chance at a pair, be sure to download the Hibbett app to enter our launch raffle before the September 13 release date.

Also nicknamed "Royal", these Foamposites feature a Dark Neon Royal, black, clear and white color makeup. This particular release also features a blue and black carbon fiber shank plate, a faithful rendition of the 1997 sneakers that Penny Hardaway popularized.

The signature sculpted polyurethane Dark Neon Royal Blue foam composes the upper. Nike’s patented Foamposite material provides a custom feel and actually softens over time, better molding to the shape of the foot. Black nubuck eyestays give way to black laces, a mesh tongue featuring Penny’s 1-cent logo and a black collar. Heel and tongue tabs are black with blue vertical lines, with an impactful stripe of Dark Neon Blue running up the shoe’s vamp.

An embroidered white Swoosh outlined in blue stitching gets tucked along the forefoot. Both the adult Foamposite One and the kids’ Little Posite version include an inner bootie that hugs the foot during play, with a blue Swoosh on one insole and “Air” on the other — that seems to glow from within the otherwise black interior. Another stitched 1-cent logo appears on the textile heel.

The black- and blue-checkered carbon fiber plate wraps the lateral and medial sides of the midfoot for added support, while a Zoom Air unit runs the length of the entire shoe for an all-day comfortable fit. The translucent outsole is embedded with strategically placed, textured blue rubber herringbone and a white Penny logo for plenty of traction and grip.

Nike inspired a generation of athletes with the futuristic, yet iconic Nike Air Foamposite Ones. Give your little ones the same sized-down style and big-time look with the toddler, preK and grade-school kids’ "Neon Royal" Nike Little Posite One. Or cop a pair for yourself in men’s sizes. Enter the raffle for your shot at scoring these sneakers from Hibbett on September 13, and be sure to follow our sneaker launch calendar for the newest, hottest releases.
