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.

Last year, Jordan Brand reimagined the original “Chicago” Air Jordan 1 by giving it a faux-vintage look and feel. And later this year, the brand is set to launch the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Royal Reimagined," a new twist on the classic "Royal" colorway.
This upcoming take updates the classic silhouette with premium materials and design elements that bring a sense of luxury to the original design. The upper is constructed with a combination of premium "Royal Blue" suede and black leather. This choice of materials gives the shoe a luxe feel and adds depth and texture to the design.
The sneaker features classic Nike Air branding on the tongues and insoles, while Wings logos appear on the padded, high-cut collars. Down below, the sneaker boasts white rubber cupsoles, which house the hidden Air cushioning system. “Royal Blue” rubber outsoles complete the look.
Mark your calendars – the Air Jordan 1 Retro High OG "Royal Reimagined" is set to drop on Saturday, November 4th on DTLR.com and DTLR stores for a retail price of $180.
