The world is in the midst of a Nike Air Foamposite redux. From the revival of Penny Hardaway’s signature PE to the myriad releases of color blockings culled from the past. Accompanying the hallmark “Galaxy” colorway’s return in the spring next year, so will the “Eggplant” scheme from 2009.

The titular pair will reemergge faithful to its original blueprint. The tongue, lining, and quarter overlay will all be outfitted with nubuck and mesh tooling. In line with its usual dark aesthetic, “Varsity Purple” hues will dress the pull tabs, tongue highlights, and embroidered Swooshes. The upper’s violet shell will arrive in its traditional iridescent finish with the outsole featuring a crystal rubber make.

They’re expected to arrive with an RRP of US$240. Find them on Nike SNKRS when they come back in 2024.
