The latest Nike SNKRS Live showcase was dedicated to all things hoops, covering modern day performance beasts alongside timeless icons of the past. No sneaker from the latter category got us hyped like the Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl”, the original 1997 colorway that has thoroughly intertwined in sneaker history and pop culture.
Most famous for its appearance in Spike Lee’s He Got Game, the Pearl Foamposites is considered to be among the greatest original colorways of any Nike shoe in history. Featuring a pearl white upper, black accents, and touches of red, this off-shoot of the Air Foamposite One is credited for sparking the Foamposite frenzy of the late 2000s and well into the early part of the 2010s.
The Pearl Foamposite Pro has released on a number of occasions throughout the decades, although they were never consistent in colors. For example, the 2009 pair had a far more golden tint to the shoes, aligning more with a champagne tint rather than a pearl white. The last known release in 2015, was came as a two-pair set, had the truest “Pearl” shade that mirrors the 1997 original.
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pearl” is currently expected to drop on November 8th, 2025 for $230 on SNKRS and select retailers; see the first-look images ahead.
