Nike Galaxy Foamposite: 2025 Release Sparks Anticipation and Raffles

NEW YORK — Feb. 19, 2025 — Nike is set to re-release the highly coveted Galaxy Foamposite One on Feb. 21, 2025, amid a flurry of excitement and extensive promotional events. This iconic sneaker, first launched in 2012, is priced at $230 and will be available through Nike’s SNKRS app, Foot Locker, and select boutiques.

The limited nature of the release means sneaker enthusiasts are encouraged to enter as many raffles as possible to increase their chances of acquiring a pair. “Stock is said to be limited, so you’re advised to enter as many raffles as possible,” a Nike spokesperson noted.

The Galaxy Foamposites are making a comeback 15 years after their original launch, which was notorious for causing chaos in stores due to high demand. The new Foamposites reflect the classic design with their intergalactic upper and glow-in-the-dark outsoles. The shoes will also come with a red “Remove Before Flight” hangtag, reminiscent of the original.

In anticipation of the release, Nike has created a buzz with a unique trading post event in New York City, allowing select individuals to trade unconventional items for a chance to secure the Galaxy Foams. Interested participants must fill out a form specifying what they intend to trade, which will be reviewed before making an appointment for the event.

The restrictions on items to be traded are clear: illegal goods, drugs, weapons, animals, vehicles, or food items are not permitted. “The wilder the offer, the better, as long as it’s legal,” Nike stated in promotional material for the event.

This strategy not only harks back to the infamous story of a man who once attempted to trade his car for a pair of Galaxy Foams but also creates an iconic narrative surrounding the sneakers. The successful event will take place at a secret location in NYC, where selected participants will converge on February 20.

Andrew Rizzo, editor at Sneaker News, reflected on the impact of the original 2012 release, stating, “The Galaxy Foamposite One remains a staple in sneaker culture due to its design and the events surrounding its release.” He noted that the upcoming launch is expected to generate significant interest and excitement within the sneaker community.

The official release of the Galaxy Foamposite One is anticipated to generate major hype, similar to its original debut. Sneakerheads and casual enthusiasts alike are advised to stay updated through the available channels to maximize their chances of acquiring this iconic sneaker.
