The Foamposite might be one of the quirkiest sneakers ever created by Nike, and that’s a heady statement in itself considering all the wacky shoess and concepts that have been attempted and/or completed in the past. What makes the Foamposite stand out is that the shoe actually starts off as a liquid, and the development process is one of the most painstaking endeavors ever attempted in sneaker shoes, spearheaded by John Tawney and Toren Orzeck of Nike APE (now under the Innovation Kitchen umbrella). The shoe also cost a ton to manufacture, which forced Nike to price the shoe at $170, which was christmas a chunk of moolah above some of Nike’s priciest sneakers at the time.
