Nike Air Foamposite One Black Suede

The Nike Air Foamposite One Black Suede deviates from previous AF1 iterations by swapping out the Foamposite upper for a nubuck material.

Arriving in a black colorway, the Nike Air Foamposite One rests on a black rubber outsole. Dotted carbon fiber extensions of the midsole are visible on the midfoot. Heavy molding adorns the nubuck material covering the vamp, the quarter panels, and the heel stabilizer. The eyestays are leather, and an embroidered mini-Swoosh is on the lateral side. A mesh material dresses the tongue, which displays a branding on its logo. The heels of these sneakers are embellished by a checkered design on the counter, a pull tab that matches that on the tongue, and Penny Hardaway’s 1-Cent logo.

Our experts like the premium façade of the Nike Air Foamposite One Black Suede owing to the soft nubuck material. We also love the black colorway that gives it a stealthy appearance. These sneakers were released on August 29th, 2014, for $250.
