Nike Air Foamposite Pro 'Red October' Release Date Schedule, Pics, Retail Price
Next up in Nike's all-red push is the Nike Air Foamposite Pro, which drops April 11 for shoe enthusiasts everywhere.
The "Red October" trend and colorway isn't going anywhere. Rather, Nike continues to breathe new life into the Kanye West-inspired trend with this latest offering.
Here are the Saturday release details from Nike.com:
| Saturday, April 11 | 10 a.m. | $230 ($180 in kids' sizes) | full family sizing |
VILLA offered a close look at Nike's latest red effort on Instagram:
Red bathed on red highlights the shoe, with a black contrast on the tongue, forefoot swoosh, carbon-fiber shank and traction pods. It's hard to argue with the ever-popular red-black approach.
To round out the sleek modern look, metallic gold highlights the lace tips. While small, it's a noticeable element capable of attracting the eye and a nice touch considering the designers could have just dipped the tips in red too and called it a day.
Images of the new design first crept onto the scene in January at SoleCollector.com, unleashing a thunderous amount of buzz for the design. With the wait over, expect some competition at shoe stores and online.
VILLA also offered a top-down view of both sides and a shot of the back:
It's critical to point out Foamposite technology debuted way back in 1997 with the Nike Air Foamposite One and the Nike Air Foamposite Pro. The extra padding and design proved beneficial for athletes and inspired the next generation of shoes on into the early 2000s.
In other words, it was only a matter of time before the classic design came back with a modern look. Nike 24/7 provides a look at the inside and the bottom:
Whether it is for lounging or taking to the hardwood, there's no arguing the latest installment of the Nike Air Foamposite is impossible to ignore. The new take on a classic look with a popular red-block look does not lose its allure no matter the fashion trends.
Available in all sizes Saturday, expect so see plenty of these out in the wild as a way to help usher in the warm weather.
The only question is, which shoe gets the all-red treatment next? If it turns out to be anything close to the revival of the Nike Air Foamposite design, the real winners are sneaker lovers everywhere.
