Portland’s Index continues to disclose pairs of Foamposites that by no means made it past the slicing room ground. This unreleased model of the Air Foamposite Professional comes clad with full glow-in-dark uppers alongside the lace collar and within the sample on the higher, leaving us to marvel what might have been.
The aforementioned sample is kind of clearly the long-lasting elephant print that originated with the Air Jordan 3. For those who recall, Nike launched an precise Air Foamposite Professional “Elephant Print” method again in 2014, though that pair got here connected with a vivid pink outsole and no glowing side on the higher. This unreleased glow-in-the-dark pattern pictured right here might have been a part of the in depth testing part contemplating Nike had but to launch the mannequin with any form of sample on the foam-molded physique. The one different recognized pair of Foamposite Professionals with non-solid uppers was the notorious “Comedian Strip” wear-test pattern that by no means noticed the sunshine of day.
One other element we will’t ignore is what could be thought-about a defect on the elephant print. Proper round the place the Swoosh tip ends, you possibly can clearly see a mirror picture of the print, solidifying these as a real shade check pattern of some form.
With Foamposites again into the combination of issues, ought to Nike take into account a “glow-in-the-dark” launch of the Foamposite Professional? That could be the one option to safe a pair like this, as a result of Index confirms that the sneakers have been bought for $2,500.
