Nike is relaunching one of its most special Foamposite colorways, the Nike Air Foamposite Pro University Blue, which is set to release in March 2026. This shoe was first released in 2003, and this retro relaunch stays loyal to the sublime design while reconnecting modern sneakerheads with one of the great basketball silhouettes of the early 2000s.
These blue Nike basketball shoes are being released in Men's and GS sizes.
A Cult Favorite From the Early 2000s
The "University Blue" variant quickly achieved "rare shoe" status after its launch, thanks to its scintillating Carolina-inspired palette and futuristic construction. Gradually, the sneaker earned a strong cult following, remaining a unique shoe in Nike's Foamposite lineup even as trends changed.
Signature Foamposite Design
Staying true to its legacy, these classic Nike Basketball sneakers feature a sculpted Foamposite shell finished in smooth University Blue. Neat white accents lie on the big jewel Swoosh, mesh tongue, outsole, and laces, while Midnight Navy shades add depth to the shoe.
