Nike is bringing back a beloved classic later this month with the release of the Air Foamposite One "Royal." This OG colorway first hit the shelves in 1997 and was made an icon by NBA star Penny Hardaway.
The Nike Air Foamposite One "Royal" is a head-turner. Its molded Foamposite upper is drenched in a striking "Royal" tone that made waves in the late '90s. Complementing the upper, black nubuck eyestays provide a smooth contrast, giving the sneaker a sleek and sophisticated edge.
Adding further depth to the design, the black laces, tongues, and sockliners contribute to its aggressive aesthetic. Mini-Swoosh logos on the lateral eyestays and the iconic "1-Cent" logo stitched on the heels pay tribute to Penny Hardaway's signature line.
Down below, carbon-fiber shank plates provide stability and support for any fast movement on the court, while the icy, semi-translucent rubber outsole units bring a cool touch to the retro design.
Will you be looking to grab a pair? The Nike Air Foamposite One “Royal” is slated to release on Friday, September 13th, in-store and online at DTLR.com in full-family sizing.

Nike’s roots in Washington, D.C., Maryland, and Virginia run deep. Known colloquially as the DMV, this cluster of east-coast States is at least partially responsible for putting some now-ubiquitous Nike silhouettes on the map, including various Nike boots, the Air Force 1, and, of course, the Air Foamposite One. And later this month, the area is getting some well-deserved recognition with the release of its own Nike Air Foamposite One colorway.
Dubbed the “DMV” Air Foamposite One, this colorway stands out with a light pink Foamposite upper, reminiscent of the cherry blossoms that famously bloom in the region every spring. This pastel hue is both striking and subtle, making the sneaker a versatile addition to any collection.
Signature "1-Cent" logos on the heels pay homage to the iconic branding associated with Penny Hardaway, but the most distinctive feature is the "DMV" lettering printed on the pull tabs – a clear homage to the sneaker’s influence in the area. Adding to the theme, the insoles are adorned with a cherry blossom print, tying the entire design together.
Whether you’re from the DMV or not, these are a must-cop. The Nike Air Foamposite One "DMV" will be available on Friday, August 23rd, in-store in men’s and grade-school sizes.
