Nike is set to revisit the Foamposite trend with the anticipated return of the Nike Air Foamposite One “Cough Drop” in 2025. Originally launched in 2010, this sneaker boasts a sleek black upper with glossy red accents along the outsole, drawing inspiration from the iconic cough drop candy, which contributed to its distinctive name.

The Air Foamposite One, designed by Eric Avar for basketball star Penny Hardaway in 1997, has evolved beyond the court to become a prominent piece in streetwear culture. The “Cough Drop” edition made its mark during the peak of Nike Basketball and the Foamposite era, resonating with both long-time fans and new enthusiasts. Its unique aesthetic and comfortable design have helped solidify its status as a sought-after sneaker.

As Nike continues to push forward with its Foamposite lineup, including upcoming releases like the “Galaxy” and “Metallic Copper” iterations, the reintroduction of the “Cough Drop” edition offers yet another reason for sneakerheads to celebrate. This revival reinforces the enduring popularity of the Foamposite model and its lasting impact on sneaker culture.
