The Nike Air Foamposite One Optic Yellow is set to launch in June and, in a surprise turn of events — unless you’ve noticed, y’know, the complete dearth of associated branding — it will not be a Wu-Tang Clan collaboration.
Rumors emerged last year that the Wu would collaborate on a Foamposite One this spring, so naturally it was assumed that this colorway, with its vibrant yellow molded foam and solid-black accents — seemingly mimicking the official palette of the hip-hop collective — was the shoe. But we can officially debunk that notion today; it’s just the Nike Air Foamposite One Optic Yellow.
Still, considering the shoe’s striking contrast, its classic color-blocking, there’s plenty to like about it. Keep it locked to Nikeblog for release updates, and hit us up on Twitter to let us know: Does Wu’s non-involvement affect your view of the optic yellow Foam One?
