The Nike Air Foamposite One Shoes were the signature shoe of Penny Hardaway in 1997. It was also the first shoe to feature the Foamposite technology of synthetic leather surrounding the upper and a clear gum sole. At one time, the Nike Air Foamposite One Sneaker was called the "alien" shoe for its futuristic colors and sleek, flowing lines, and this classic Nike basketball model still maintains some of the space age feels despite the advances in both the design and technology of basketball shoes. The Nike Air Foamposite One combines a polyurethane midsole with Zoom Air-Sole unit combined with a foamposite upper, an integrated, molded product, and rubber outsole provides superior traction on an indoor court.
