2017 was an interesting year for not only Jordan
brand but also foamposites, as we saw the increase of multiple releases
throughout the year. What was once a
sporadic release of sneakers a few years ago, was now a weekly-monthly thing as
we saw multiple models released. Jordan
brand’s excuse for the increase was greed related, foamposite’s was to
celebrate the 20th anniversary of the original release. This celebration promised the release of
popular past foamposites as retros. Most
people felt overwhelmed by the amount of releases, and felt as if the foamposite
prestige had lost some of its luster with the overexposure of these once rare
sneakers.
I on the other hand couldn’t care less because I
was not only able to get a pair but also a pair I always wanted; the Foamposite
One Copper. This sneaker features a
shinny copper colorway that is inspired by Anfernee Hardaway’s nickname “Penny”;
the one cent penny. While I’m not a fan
of bright flashy sneakers, the inspiration for the colorway was well executed
and on point. These are the sneakers that I love wearing and owning because of the
history and genius.
