    Nike has a long history of reimagining its most iconic basketball silhouettes for the gridiron, and now it’s the Foamposite’s turn. For Holiday 2025, the Swoosh has unveiled the Nike Vaporposite Pro Football Cleat in the legendary “Pearl” colorway, a direct nod to the Air Foamposite One that Penny Hardaway made famous in the late ’90s.

    The cleat mirrors the same futuristic design language that made the Foamposite an instant standout nearly three decades ago. Its molded “Pearl White” shell upper is accented with black overlays, laces, and sock-like collar construction, while metallic Swoosh logos are placed at both the lateral and toe positions. Red Nike branding at the heel tabs provides a subtle pop of contrast, a detail that’s long been tied to the original basketball model.

    Underfoot, the transformation from hardwood to turf is clear. A lightweight football-specific plate with translucent blue traction studs ensures explosive cuts and stability, while the cleated base retains a sleek aesthetic that still feels faithful to the OG design. The final product successfully blends performance-driven utility with a sense of nostalgia that taps into Nike’s rich basketball heritage.

    The Nike Vaporposite Pro Football Cleat “Pearl” is expected to release November 28 via Nike.com and select retailers.

    With its balance of cultural legacy and modern football performance, it’s set to resonate with both players and longtime Foamposite fans alike.
