Update: As the return of the Nike Air Foamposite One "Galaxy" draws closer, we've gotten our most detailed look yet. Shown in a set of images captured by @thesolechaserz, the 2025 "Galaxy" re-release looks to be a one-of-one re-creation of the legendary 2012 drop, complete with the all-over cosmic print and glowing outsoles that drove sneaker lovers so crazy upon its original release that one was even willing to trade his car for it. Though the jury's still out on if any automotive swaps will be offered this time around (and if the "Remove Before Flight" hangtag that accompanied the 2012 pair will be affixed to this re-release), you can expect the Air Foamposite One "Galaxy" to touch down in February, potentially around NBA All-Star Weekend. Read the original article and previous updates below for more info.
Update: As excitement surrounding the Nike Air Foamposite One continues to peak, the Swoosh has unveiled that last year's rumored return of the "Galaxy" colorway is true -- albeit with the shoe arriving a year later than first discussed. Offering a first look at the pair during this year's SNKRS Showcase livestream, the brand confirmed that it will be releasing in the spring of 2025, likely via Nike SNKRS and select retailers at a starting price of $240 USD. For more info about the pair, be sure to review our initial breakdown below.
Original Story: Eleven years ago, sneakerheads were spotted camping out for upwards of a week just for the chance to lay their hands on the legendary Nike Air Foamposite One "Galaxy." An instant classic within Nike's All-Star collection for 2012, fans have been clamoring for a restock for over a decade now. As interest for the silhouette continues to steadily rebuild -- thanks to 2021's CdGH+ collaboration and several colorways arriving this year -- the out-of-this-world "Galaxy" pair is rumored to be returning next year.
According to sneaker industry expert @zsneakerheadz, the much-desired "Galaxy" colorway is set to return in the springtime of 2024. Previously, 2018 saw the release of a spin-off colorway but it's now slated to be reappearing in its original form. This includes its iconic graphic across the upper, mini Swooshes at the toe, a glow-in-the-dark outsole and possibly its custom hangtag as well. Only time will tell what else the Swoosh has in store for the Foamposite as it continues its triumphant return.
Take a look back at the original 2012 pair above and hang tight as a tentative release period of spring 2024 is all that has been shared regarding the colorway's return.
