If it's fall, it must be time for a new Nike Air Foamposite Pro drop. Last year, the Swoosh picked late October to drop the popular Nike Air Foamposite Pro Wolf Grey colorway. This year, get ready for an old-fashioned Black Friday scramble — the highly anticipated "He Got Game" Foamposite Pro drops November 28, 2025, the day after Thanksgiving.
Technically, the colorway is titled the Air Foamposite Pro "Pearl." This OG colorway launched in 1997, popping up in a Sprite commercial on the feet of San Antonio Spurs legend Tim Duncan. But the silhouette was truly made famous as the shoe of choice for Jesus Shuttleworth, the character played by Ray Allen in "He Got Game," Spike Lee's classic 1998 hoops flick. (The same movie also featured Denzel Washington falling in love with an original pair of Air Jordan 13s, also tagged as a "He Got Game" colorway.)
Immortalized on film by an NBA superstar, the Air Foamposite Pro "Pearl" OG colorway has since been popularly known as the "He Got Game" 'Posite.
This 2025 release of one of the all-time classic Nike sneakers has been trailed and hyped by sneakerheads and in-the-know blogs for more than a year. For collectors, hoopers, film buffs and sneaker history fans, this Black Friday release is a high-priority drop.
