If you’ve ever taken the time to really organize your sneaker closet, you know if you have more than just 50 pairs, it starts to look like you have your own little kicks museum at home. Sporting your kicks is obviously the perk of having a nice collection, but having them on display is also one of the cooler parts of being a sneakerhead. So imagine what it would be like to walk into an exhibition of one of Nike’s most iconic and insanely popular shoes right now, the Foamposite. It’s not just something to dream about anymore. It’s a reality.
As part of its 12 Soles campaign, Nike Sportswear has set up an impressive retrospective exhibition in Shanghai that celebrates the Nike Air Foamposite One, the iconic silhouette that will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2017. The project, made in collaboration with the local sneaker shop WZK Shanghai, spans the shoe's 20-year history, showcasing classic colorways alongside early samples that date back to 1995, as well as exclusive friends-and-family rarities.
In conjunction with the exhibit, Nike and WZK Shanghai partnered with noted Instagrammer @3dk129 to create a special retrospective Foamposite book. Limited to just 150 copies, the volume and will be given out to shoppers who purchase the "Dr. Doom" Foamposite at the space. It doesn’t get any cooler than that.
