For sneaker enthusiasts, the debate over the birthplace of the Foamposite’s popularity is a well-worn path. New York City and the Baltimore-Washington D.C. area, often abbreviated as the DMV, vie for the title. Sidestepping this friendly competition, Nike steps forward with the upcoming Nike Air Foamposite One “DMV Cherry Blossom,” a shoe that pays homage to the DMV region with a unique and stylish design.

Early images from reputable sources, such as @zsneakerheadz, show a striking resemblance to the 2018 “Rose Gold” Nike Air Foamposite One. Both iterations share a similar rosy metallic upper and translucent icy sole, offering a familiar yet undeniably eye-catching look. The real intrigue, however, lies in the overt homage to the DMV on the pull tab, where bold lettering declares the shoe’s regional connection. It’s important to remember that these early glimpses may not fully reflect the final product, so some details may change before the official release.
While the “DMV Cherry Blossom” is the most direct tribute to the region yet, it’s not Nike’s first show of affection. Last year, the “Dream A World” Foamposite saw its initial release through DMV’s Whitaker Group channels, with the first 850 pairs finding eager buyers. This limited release was later followed by a wider rollout, but the “DMV Cherry Blossom” promises a more dedicated special edition experience.

Beyond the initial hype, official images from Nike paint a clearer picture of the shoe. The upper features a soft pink hue, a gentle contrast to the bold “DMV” branding on the rear heel tabs. To further solidify the regional connection, Nike incorporates special insoles with a beautiful cherry blossom print, a fitting tribute to the iconic flora that graces the DMV landscape.
Scheduled for a summer 2024 release, the Nike Air Foamposite One “DMV Cherry Blossom” will retail for $240. While details on availability are still under wraps, speculation points to a possible exclusive release at DMV retailers. Alternatively, a wider release through Nike’s SNKRS app and select retailers remains a possibility.
