The Air Foamposite was initially priced at $180, a cost that reflected the advanced technology and unique design of the shoe. The Air Foamposite, though, stands out in Avar's portfolio for its unique, futuristic design and the groundbreaking manufacturing process that birthed it.
Originally released on February 1, 1997, the Nike Air Foamposite was designed by Eric Avar, a Nike Creative Director and designer who has had a hand in numerous other influential Nike models.
