Update April 11, 2023: A fresh in-hand look of the 2023 Air Foamposite One ‘Metallic Red’ has surfaced ahead of the alleged June release.

The Nike Air Foamposite One is returning in 2023, in new and classic colourways. The iconic signature sneaker for Penny Hardaway has seen dozens if not hundreds of colourways since its inception in 1997, and the ‘Metallic Red’ colourway returns for the third time later this year.

The ‘Metallic Red’ Foamposite One hit shelves in 2012 with a retro following in 2017. The 2023 rendition features slight changes, most notably using black tumbled leather instead of Durabuck on the lace overlays. Metallic Red is used on the Foamposite upper with the bootie and tongue using black mesh. Penny Hardaway’s logo is seen on the heel of the bootie and on the tongue with a mini Swoosh appearing on the lateral side of the toe.

Full-length Zoom Air is featured in the cushioning setup with a carbon fibre shank plate placed in the midfoot for rigidity. A red herringbone and icy translucent edges finish off the sneaker.

The Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Metallic Red’ is expected to release in Summer 2023 via SNKRS and at select retailers for $240.
