NIKE 一直是球鞋设计美学的代名词，1997年，品牌推出了或许是设计层面最具突破的球鞋 Air Foamposite One。这双球鞋绝对是品牌发展历史上的里程碑，不仅是因为 NIKE Foamposite 是当时最昂贵的球鞋之一，它的设计也引来了很多褒贬争议。

//首次亮相
在 1996-1997 年大学篮球赛季，NIKE 邀请亚利桑那野猫队前往俄勒冈州的总部，并定期赠与他们球鞋试用。正是在 1997年赛季的“疯狂三月”中，这种球鞋率先出现在当时还在打 NCAA 比赛的麦克·毕比脚上。
亚利桑那在 16 强淘汰赛中遭遇夺冠热门堪萨斯队，本来计划 Foamposite 在这场比赛中亮相，当时 NIKE 笃定球队本赛季可能就此结束了。不过亚利桑那高奏凯歌，直到冠军赛对阵肯塔基州，并且以84-79 获胜。
//Air Foamposite One与“便士”哈达威
不久之后，Air Foamposite One 终于登上了 NBA 的舞台，奥兰多魔术队的当家后卫“便士”哈达威在为季后赛做准备的时候首次使用。这双鞋甚至引发了不小的争议，当时的 NBA 裁决称，球鞋的蓝色配色与黑色球衣不匹配。不过哈达威利用记号笔涂掉鞋面缝隙后一直穿着。
Air Foamposite One 有一个吸引人的地方是它没有明显的 NIKE 标识，只有在鞋头处点缀了很小的 SWOOSH，并不能一眼就认出这是一双 NIKE 球鞋。比 SWOOSH 更吸睛的是鞋舌、鞋跟及大底上的“1美分”标志。
据说，NIKE 在会见哈达威之后，向他展示了一系列的球鞋，但他都不怎么满意。直到看到Air Foamposite One 之后，哈达威很快爱上这款球鞋，NIKE 于是把它变成了他的专属。不过在亚利桑那球员率先使用 Air Foamposite One 比赛后，哈达威并不开心。尽管还有一种说法，Air Foamposite One 刚开始是为芝加哥公牛队的皮蓬设计的，而不是哈达威。
//Air Foamposite One的设计故事
Eric Avar 与 Jeff Johnson 操刀设计，这款球鞋的设计灵感来源于甲壳虫。它被称作“未来之鞋”，配备了全掌的 Zoom Air 气垫。并利用聚氨酯鞋面和中底进行包裹，保证舒适性，碳板则提供稳定性及灵活性。
汽车企业的韩国大宇公司为 Air Foamposite One 提供原料配方，将一种合成液体倒入价值 75 万美元的模具当中，将鞋身体、中底、大底融为一体。奇怪的是，这些模具最终被销毁了，可能连 NIKE 也没有想到这款球鞋还有未来。Air Foamposite One 上市价格高达 180 美金，新一代的球鞋由此诞生。
1997 年秋季，Air Foamposite Pro 推出，鞋侧有更大的 SWOOSH 标志，代替了“1美分”。自从 1997 年以来，NIKE发布了近 100 种不同的配色，也受到这种发泡材质的启发，包括 Air Flightposite、Clogposite、Air Foamdome、Air Bakin Posite、Trainerposite、Hyperposite 等球鞋也依次发布。
Air Foamposite Pro 在 2001 年经历了复刻，在之后的五年里，7 种配色相继问世。2007 年，Air Foamposite One 也以 4 种配色回归。这些年里，最让人垂涎的还是“ParaNorman”、“Doernbecher”及 2014 年与 Supreme 的联名。
