Although there has been an increasing number of Nike Foamposites produced over the past few years, the original "Royal" colorway is the one that still matters the most. There's no information at the moment that points to Nike re-releasing that pair for the umpteenth time, but there's a very similar pair on the horizon.

A "University Blue," or what's more traditionally referred to as "Carolina Blue," pair of Nike Air Foamposite Ones has been previewed on Instagram, and they look extremely close to the sneakers that Penny Hardaway and Mike Bibby wore back in the '90s.

According to the source, these Foams are set to hit retail in January 2016 with a price of $230.
