The Crown Jewel Returns: The Nike Air Foamposite Pro 'Pearl' Drops This Black Friday

are set to crack open the shell once again with the return of the Air Pro 'Pearl' for the festive season – arguably the most prized colourway in thelineup!

Originally released in 1997, the opal-optimised model followed the Air Foamposite One and quickly cemented itself as one of the line’s crown jewels. Worn by Tim Duncan and immortalised through a PE, the pair truly hit the big screen in He Got Game, where Ray Allen’s Jesus Shuttlesworth laced them up throughout the film.

Since then the model has resurfaced multiple times – 2002, 2009, 2010, and 2015’s 'Class of ’97 Pack' – alongside other retro colourways like the. This new iteration, however, sits closer to the OG pearl profile, supported by black nubuck eyestays, carbon fibre shanks, a mesh tongue and 'True Red' detailing across the heel and tabs.

With the Foamposite Pro re-emerging, the 'Pearl' looks set to reclaim its spot as one of the model’s true crown-jewel colourways – a retro with the right shine at the right time!
