The release of the Nike Foamposite One Royal this month marks its 20th anniversary. \u00a0Why should you care and what makes the Royal Foams so special? Well despite being initially designed for Scottie Pippen, they are arguably\u00a0Penny Hardaway’s most recognizable signature sneakers and were “banned” by the NBA for uniform color regulations when Penny wore them the first time. Want more? \u00a0How about, the Foams were so drastically different from traditional sneakers, the molds used to turn the liquid substance into the Foamposite material used on the uppers, cost on average, $750k. But enough about the history, let’s get into the 2017 retro.<\/p>\n

To keep things interesting for its 20th, Nike unexpectedly bumped up the release of the Royal Foams by one week. \u00a0They also included a sneaker card autographed by Penny himself along with a sharpie inside 200 random pairs that were released even earlier via Nike’s SNKRS app.<\/p>\n

Before we dive into the current resell\u00a0data on the Nike Foamposite line, it’s worth noting that in May of 2014 we lamented that\u00a0Nike had jumped the shark on the Foamposite<\/a>. \u00a0If you don’t feel like going back and reading that entire blog post, the main point of it is that ever since the Galaxies dropped in 2012, Foamposites in general had been on a decline up until that point in the secondary market.<\/p>\n

Now, the data.<\/p>\n

First up, the most expensive Nike Foamposites.<\/p>\n
