The Nike Air Foamposite Pro ‘Pearl' is stepping back into the spotlight this Black Friday 2025, and for Foamposite fans, this one hits different.
Introduction:
Ask any sneakerhead what the greatest Foamposite ever is, and you’ll spark a debate louder than a release-day queue. For some, the ‘Galaxy’ Foamposite One reigns supreme, thanks to the 2012 madness that practically invented the modern raffle system.
But for the old-school faithful, the crown belongs to the Foamposite Pro ‘Pearl’, the 1997 classic forever immortalised on screen in Spike Lee’s ‘He Got Game’. For them, this isn’t just a sneaker. It’s nostalgia encased in a pearlescent shell.
After a year of rumours and anticipation, the ‘Pearl’ Pro is officially returning on November 28th, 2025, one of the headline drops of Black Friday alongside the ‘Black Cat’ 4s and the Air Max 95000. With each retro, fans cross their fingers hoping Nike gets the shade right. Some past releases drifted toward a bright white that felt more porcelain than pearl. And when the SNKRS Showcase teased the shoe this summer, the internet collectively held its breath.
Design Details:
Luckily, newly resurfaced images put those fears to rest. The 2025 pair brings back the iconic creamy pearl finish, black accents, jewelled Swoosh, carbon fibre shank, and that unmistakable Foamposite silhouette that changed performance basketball forever. It’s a faithful nod to the OG, modernised just enough for today’s rotation while keeping the ’97 magic intact.
Release Info:
Dropping in men’s sizing for $230, the Nike Air Foamposite Pro ‘Pearl’ will land via Nike SNKRS and select retailers. Whether you’re reliving the Penny Hardaway era or discovering Foams for the first time, this is a certified must-add to the holiday wish list.
Black Friday is going to get very pearly. Don’t sleep.
