Nike Galaxy Foamposite Makes Long-Awaited Return After 13 Years

Nike has officially confirmed the return of the highly anticipated Galaxy Foamposites, scheduled for release on February 21st, 2025. The legendary sneaker, which first revolutionized footwear design in 2012, will maintain its original retail price of $230.

The 2025 release stays true to the original's groundbreaking design, featuring the same distinctive galaxy pattern that influenced streetwear and footwear design for over a year after its initial launch. The iconic "Remove Before Flight" hang-tag, a signature element of the 2012 release, will also return with the 2025 version.

Distribution channels for the release include:

• Nike SNKRS app

• Select boutique retailers

• Foot Locker locations

• Special early release at Bay Area retailers during 2025 All-Star Weekend

Nike first hinted at the re-release in Summer 2024, confirming long-standing rumors that had circulated among sneaker enthusiasts since the original release. The announcement followed various leaks from social media sneaker accounts.

The release is expected to be limited in quantity, with retailers likely implementing raffle systems for fair distribution. This approach mirrors the high-demand nature of the original 2012 release, which significantly influenced space-themed designs in footwear and street apparel over the following year and a half.

The Galaxy Foamposite marks one of Nike's most anticipated retro releases, following thirteen years of consistent consumer demand for its return to the market.
