Introduction:
The Nike Air Foamposite One ‘Cough Drop’ is officially set to re-release on August 15, 2025, bringing back the bold, red-soled design that helped define the late 2000s Foamposite era and continues to turn heads today.
Originally released in 2007 and retroed again in 2010, the ‘Cough Drop' earned its nickname thanks to its unmistakable Varsity Red translucent outsole, which resembles a cherry cough drop. This year’s edition stays true to its roots, swapping out the matte outsole seen on early 2025 samples for the OG glossy red look fans know and love.

Design Details:
The shoe’s upper features a jet-black Foamposite shell paired with black suede eyelets and a breathable mesh tongue, giving it that rugged, street-ready appeal. The red accents hit just right, adding bold pops to the tongue piping, pull tabs, Swoosh branding, and, of course, that standout outsole. Underfoot, carbon fibre shanks deliver signature support and a nod to the silhouette’s performance hoops DNA.
