What You Need to Know
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Voltage” originally dropped in 2012 as a tribute to Penny Hardaway’s electric playing style. The shoe’s glossy, moulded shell upper in volt green made it instantly divisive — and instantly sought-after. This retro stays true to the original: same iridescent shell, same carbon fibre midfoot plate, same visible Air unit at the heel.
The release also includes the Nike Little Posite Pro “Voltage” in kids’ sizing, making it a family drop for collectors who want the full set.

How to Actually Get a Pair
Foamposites are a hype release — they move fast and resell above retail almost immediately. Your best options for securing a pair in the UAE:
- Nike SNKRS app — sign up for launch notifications and enter the draw if it goes raffle. Set your account up in advance.
- In-store at Nike Dubai Mall or Mall of the Emirates — arrive early if it’s a physical first-come, first-served release
- Foot Locker UAE — usually carries Foamposite drops; check their app for early access options
- Sun & Sand Sports — an authorised Nike retailer in the UAE that often stocks limited releases
The Resale Market
Previous “Voltage” retros have resold at 30–60% above retail within days of dropping. If you’re buying to wear them, get in on launch day. If you miss it, expect to pay AED 900–1,100+ on resale platforms like StockX or local UAE sneaker groups.
A Bit of History
Nike Foamposite technology was first introduced in 1997 — a single-piece injected foam upper that was unlike anything else in basketball footwear at the time. The Pro version followed in 1999, and “Voltage” became one of the most iconic colourways ever applied to the silhouette. It’s one of those shoes that still turns heads even among people who don’t follow sneakers.
