SOUTHEAST REGION
—
MATCHUP #1 – The game-changing Galaxy leads the Southeast bracket and goes toe-to-toe with the underdog Gym Green.
–
MATCHUP #2 – Army colors vs. an all-pink shoe – can’t get any more contrasting than that!
–
MATCHUP #3 – The rare Royal Pro goes against the Metallic Red in this potential upset special.
–
MATCHUP #4 – It’s all a matter of preference here: The all-black Stealth One or the all-black Pro?
–
SOUTHWEST REGION
—
MATCHUP #1 – The most unique Foamposite packaging ever takes on one of the first Foamposite One retros from 2007.
–
MATCHUP #2 – The “Eggplant” colorway became a staple after this 2009 release. Does the Electrolime have what it takes to unseat this classic?
–
MATCHUP #3 – The “Retro Blue” struck while the iron was hot, but the Cactus-outsoled Foamposite One might give it a run for its money.
–
MATCHUP #4 – It’s a heavy battle of the Pro as the Carolina joints take on the much-restocked Metallic Silvers.
EAST REGION
—
MATCHUP #1 – The ultimate “Penny” colorway faces off against the underrated “Cough Drop” that restocked after an initial HoH release.
–
MATCHUP #2 – Arguably the best “Pro” colorway gets awarded with a #2 seed, facing off against the recently dropped “Suns” colorway.
–
MATCHUP #3 – A true vintage Foamposite classic in the “Voltage” goes against a younger cat in the Bright Crimson of 2012.
–
MATCHUP #4 – The Varsity Red Foamposite Pro goes toe-to-toe with the House of Hoops-exclusive Neo Lime joints.
WEST REGION
—
MATCHUP #1 – The original version that started it all takes on a strong #8 seed in the Electric Green Pro to officially kick off the Tournament.
–
MATCHUP #2 – The solid-black Air Foamposite One has incredible resale value, but will the #7 seed in the Fighter Jet have enough to take down a classic?
–
MATCHUP #3 – The first Nike Foamposite to be included in a “Pack” takes on a forgotten original – the Black/Gum Pro.
–
MATCHUP #4 – Two 2011 hits in the Metallic Pewter and Pine Green clash in this true coin-flip of a match-up.
