Nike Vapor X Posite Returns With Metallic Orange, Copper And Eggplant

Nike is bringing the Vapor X Posite back with a three-colorway lineup pulling straight from Foamposite history: Metallic Orange, Copper, and Eggplant. The hybrid model pairs the sole unit from the Vapor X, the 2017 tennis shoe tied to Roger Federer, with an upper built in the spirit of the Air Foamposite One, down to the molded material, the mold lines, and the shape of the eyestay, collar, and heel. A Nike Tennis logo sits on the tongue and heel, replacing the 1 Cent mark tied to Penny Hardaway on the original Foamposite.

Copper opens the set with one of the most recognizable metallic finishes from the Foamposite line. The copper upper sits against a light blue outsole, giving the pair a cool contrast underfoot.

Metallic Orange takes a bolder approach, keeping the same black base but swapping the branding and tongue striping for orange, with red accents on the pull tabs. The result is a sharper, higher energy look than the Copper pair.

Eggplant rounds out the trio, closely reviving the legendary purple colorway that first appeared on the Air Foamposite One in 2009. A metallic purple tone covers most of the upper, shifting subtly between violet and royal blue depending on the light, paired with black detailing and a translucent outsole.

Across all three pairs, the design follows the same formula: a lower, sleeker profile than the original basketball Foamposite, while keeping the signature Foam ridges at the toe and along the sides. It marks the most notable return yet for the Vapor X Posite, whose original release came and went quietly, largely surfacing through outlet stores throughout the 2010s.

The Nike Vapor X Posite Metallic Orange, Copper, and Eggplant are set to release on August 17, 2026, priced at $170 each.
