Clash of the Kicks: Nike Air Foamposite - Royal Blue Vs Eggplant

Originally released in 1997, the Nike Air Foamposite Foamposite One (Royal Blue) was the signature shoe of Anfernee ‘Penny’ Hardaway. The first shoe to feature Nike’s innovative Foamposite technology of synthetic leathers surrounding the upper and a clear gum sole for extra grip. Since its initial introduction, the Foamposite instantly became a classic model among many sneakerheads around the world. The Nike Air Foamposites have been released in a flurry of color-ways so far…

They have even inspired the hybrid creation of the Nike Air Max Foamdome Boot - Foamposite x Goadome Hybrid. Once again, another greatly anticipated release is upon us. In February 2009, Nike will releasing the Nike Air Foamposite - Eggplant edition. Already being labeled as the best color-way in the series, it seems as though they will sell out upon their release due to the mass histeria in the sneaker community.

This week’s Clash of the Kicks features a battle between the Nike Air Foamposite - Eggplant and the Nike Air Foamposite One - Royal blue. Will you stay true to the OG / Original version or is the Eggplant color scheme too hard to reject. Vote now…

    If I didn’t cop the eggplants and the 1/2 cents ….so I’m sent with two
    Of the hottest sneakers ever made…..Harlem NYC ….home of swag.

  30. CJ Douty says:

    Royal royal royal, allll the way! The royal is easier to match with. Eggplant is a hard color to come across at the store. I like how they stand out more too. The eggplants are different yeah, but its too dark and not very noticable.

  31. Justin says:

    Royal blue. Classic. Truthfully, all the foams have been nice, but the royals are the best. Part of the hood uniform.

  32. Eggplant would be hard to match with anything, and they look…. ugly. the royal looks really good, i like how bright it is. its a weird shape for a shoe.

  33. This is a tough desicion! I guess if I had to choose I’d pick the eggplants

  34. vitt says:

    i have the eggplant but the royal blue is fire. both is hott anyway.

  35. Niether.
    I dont really like both of them.
    They just look so unappealing.
