Hyperposite. $200. 2012.
If you want to throw out an extreme price point at retail on a new silhouette and not create too much of a commotion over it, sneaker consumers have been conditioned to fork over at least two big Benjamin bills for Foamposite based shoes ever since the original Nike Air Foamposite One.
In 2012, we can confirm a new Foam basketball product enters the fray: the Nike Air Max Hyperposite.
The shoe is slated to release in a variety of colorways for Fall 2012 including:
- Bright Crimson/Reflect Silver
- Dynamic Blue/Reflect Silver
- Charcoal/Black-Atomic Green
- Black/Reflect Silver
- Black/Black-Bright Crimson
While there’s no live photos of the shoe to be displayed just yet, we can surmise from the name that this Foamposite model will feature Max Air technology, perhaps in visible window format, and Hyperfuse composite construction which will hopefully help balance out the gratuitous weight of a Foamposite upper shell along with providing some appropriate venting to keep your feet cool during extended runs.
Price of entry on the Air Max Hyperposite, like other Foamposites before it and a growing portion of Nike Basketball’s loaded 2012 lineup (See: LeBron 9 P.S. Elite, Kobe VII Elite, Zoom Hyperdunk Elite) sits at $200. More info to come as it develops…

So basically a faux-foamposite at a full-foamposite price.
@Nene33 Regular foams are gonna be $215 next year, so not ENTIRELY a full price… lol 15 dollars saved is 15 dollars earned
finally foamposite used on performance kicks again. as long as the foam isn’t hard and thin like on the zoom rookies i’ll definitely consider these…as long as they offer amazing support, fit, comfort, and durability as only foamposite can. i’ll be willing to pay $200 for these.
what an oxymoron, hyper is supposed to be nike fast and light line of shoes, and foamposite is nikes slow, heavy, inflexible……. this is not going to work, fuck foamposite material that shit sucks it weighs way too much to do any good
if you want bulky foam why not buy a croc!
…they are BASKETBALL kicks 1st and FOREMOST.
Hyperposite? Where is the photos? Is same as Nike Air Max Hyperuse serial sneakers?
