No. 1 - Professionally Approved

Fifteen years ago, Nike revolutionized the basketball world by lacing up Penny Hardaway in the Royal Blue Foamposite One. Since then, the model has gone from a cult classic to attaining a legendary status. We've seen Foams worn by a number of NBA players over the years, but a few guys broke out this glistening colorway early. Rajon Rondo kicked off the season in a pair, as did fellow Celtic Jeff Green. As the release date approaches, you can bet you'll be seeing these on the feet of more and more players on the college and pro level.

No. 2 - Still a Top Performer, 15 Years Later

The world of sneaker technology is much like computer technology: both are rapidly progressing, and it's easy to get left in the dust if you aren't up to date. Well, that's true most of the time. In the case of Foamposite tech, as well as the full-length Zoom Air cushioning implemented into the model, they were both so groundbreaking that they are still commonly used in Nike's performance sneakers today. Look no further than the Air Max Hyperposite and LeBron X. Although some considered it to feel too heavy on court (the model was trimmed down in the lighter Flightposite one), its durability and protection are unmatched.

No. 3 - That Polarized Shade of Pink

Ever since the Foamposite craze took off a couple years ago, Nike has released the popular model in a plethora of colors, shades, and hues. But despite the countless renditions thus far, there's never been one quite this eye catching. Whether you're dropping 25 points on the courts or trekking it through Northeastern slush, these are definitely going to stand out. Even though they aren't an official Breast Cancer Awareness Month release, they can serve as a great reminder for the cause, or just add a nice pop to your game attire.
