Product Description
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro Area 72 Asteroid is a part of the Nike Sportswear Area 72 collection, a limited-edition line that was inspired by the Roswell incident and features extraterrestrial and space-themed designs.
The Air Foamposite Pro Area 72 Asteroid features a black lace-up closure and a black tongue with the Nike Air logo. The Nike Swoosh features on both sides and on the forefoot and heel. There is also a Zoom Air unit in the midsole for added comfort and cushioning, and the outsole has a tread pattern that improves grip.
We think that the notable feature of the Nike Air Foamposite Pro Area 72 Asteroid is the upper. The upper is made from Foamposite material, a synthetic material that is known for its durability and glossy finish. The upper is covered in a vibrant graphic of bright colors and splashes of white, meant to emulate the effect of a meteor shower. The sneaker was released on December 20th, 2013, at a retail price of $250.
