Info? These look might umm cool?

Heres what I posted regarding them up in the Nike forum...



IMO, these are a prototype used by Nike to understand and learn the properties (both functionally and aesthetically) of foamposite.

Going from leather/canvas/nylon uppers to a molded polyurethane upper isn't the kind of thing that would go directly from paper to a marketed piece offootwear. Precedent in the design and production process would be set with a technology like posite, probably requiring a little extra R&D...

The shoe lacks any real aesthetic design components and is purely utilitarian also lending credence to them being a posite paradigm...

Posite itself, took inspiration from "foam in place" technology that's found in automotive seating and packaging, as well as the concept ofhaving a r. angle lateral support wall coming up from the base of the shoe... one can see a resemblance from the aforementioned being implemented into thediscussed shoe w/varying thicknesses, strap-esq fit system etc...

Any other info. is greatly appreciated!



... I'd imagine these are the rarest Foams in this thread...

j/k...i know some of the younger NT'ers are gonna be dumbfounded with your words though

much thanks for the info though, its great to see where a shoe's design starts and how its transformed into the final product especially on a shoe like thefoamposite one and all it's "offspring"....groundbreaking is putting it lightly when i think back to the first time i saw them. it was straight

that is definitely a very rare shoe nonetheless but thank god those stayed as prototypes

......but makes me cherish my foams that much more!!
