Set to release on December 5 for $240 USD, this revamped classic is sure to capture the attention of longtime enthusiasts and new fans alike.
Draped in a stunning Metallic Copper shell, the upper is a standout feature, exuding a rich, glossy finish that shimmers with every step. This bold copper colorway is balanced with black detailing, including a black mesh inner bootie and nubuck overlays, adding depth and contrast without stealing the spotlight from the copper shell. The laces, inner lining, and carbon fiber paneling are also in black, creating a sleek, cohesive look that emphasizes the silhouette’s signature design.
The semi-translucent outsole has been updated with a subtler blue tint, enhancing the icy effect while remaining understated, allowing the metallic upper to take center stage. This icy sole adds a fresh touch, reinforcing the sneaker’s unique aesthetic that combines sport functionality with street-ready style.
With a release scheduled for December via Nike SNKRS and select retailers, the Nike Air Foamposite One “Metallic Copper” is a bold statement of timeless style that pays homage to a classic era in basketball and sneaker history.
