The Nike Air Foamposite One “Cough Drop” is making its return in Fall 2025, delivering a bold and stealthy aesthetic that has stood the test of time. Originally debuted in 2007, this fan-favorite colorway is back to capture the attention of OG collectors and new sneakerheads alike. The sneaker features a matte black Foamposite shell upper, accented with subtle varsity red hits on the outsole, branding, and pull tabs—hence the “Cough Drop” nickname, referencing the translucent red sole that mimics the hue of classic lozenges.
This upcoming Nike Air Foamposite One “Cough Drop” retro maintains its legendary DNA, built with a durable Foamposite shell, black nubuck eyestays, and mesh inner bootie for a snug, sock-like fit. A carbon fiber shank underfoot offers torsional support, while the signature Zoom Air cushioning ensures responsive performance both on and off the court. The translucent red outsole adds grip and a touch of heat, pairing perfectly with the crimson branding throughout the shoe.
It’s a colorway that merges nostalgia and performance, and its minimal branding and sleek design allow it to seamlessly blend into everyday fits. Whether you missed out in 2007 or want to double up, this retro release is a must-cop for Foamposite fans and Penny Hardaway loyalists alike.
