Original Story (07/22/24): Every metropolitan area in the US has its own unique sneaker culture. This is especially true for the DMV. The Washington D.C./Maryland/Virginia region is known its love of New Balance 990s, being the first to embrace the Nike Goadome boot, and turning the Foamposite into a lifestyle. As D.C. native Wale once said, “Foamposites, if you ain’t got ’em then you penny-loafing!”
Nike is now honoring the DMV with own Air Foamposite One colorway. Inspired by the cherry blossoms in D.C. that bloom every spring, the “DMV” Air Foamposite One features a pearlescent pink upper and DMV branding on the heel pull tabs. These also come with cherry blossom graphics on the insoles.
Check out official images of the Nike Air Foamposite One DMV below. These are expected to release August 2024 at select DMV-area retailers. Stay tuned to Modern Notoriety for updates.
