Following a similar foam plastic construction to classics such as Air Foamposite and both previous ones Flightposite modelsthe third edition is probably the most unusual look of the collection. They look straight out of a sci-fi movie thanks to the “pods” on the side and were sold by some of the best players in the game. Reinforced by straps across the midfoot, the entire upper is made of foam material and is based on a reactive Nike Zoom outsole.

Expected to appear in a multitude of colorways throughout 2027, Nike plans to add another revamped look to the classic sneaker. Usually coming at a hefty price tag thanks to its premium materials, expect this pair to top the shelves at over $200. What’s more, fans have been clamoring for these to return for the last quarter of a decade, so expect a ton of excitement when these hit Nike SNKRS next year.
