With it’s captivating metallic silver upper and detailed foamposite construction it might come as a surprise to some that the Nike Total Air Foamposite Max belonged to “The Big Fundamental”. That’s right! Way back in the day of the “Twin Towers” (not a 9/11 pun), fresh off his rookie yea,r a young Tim Duncan was the hottest thing in basketball. While on his championship run back in 1998 Tim Duncan dawned the Total Air Foamposite Max which seemed to be a supped up anodized version of his previous Nike shoe, the Nike Air Total Max Uptempo. The luster of a Foamposite sneaker never really seemed to pair well with Tim’s basic and understated style of play (which is probably why he went with Adidas shortly after), but Total Air Foams will always be a staple in 90′ basketball sneaker styling.

For those of you who thought that Penny Hardaway was the only NBA player with a Foampoosite sneaker, check out Timmy pumping the Total Air Foams in this 1998 Nike ad.

So after a being on hiatus for over a decade Nike is finally releasing the Total Air Foamposite Max in a colorway very similar to original, the one exception being the addition of the shocking Photo Blue accents found on the 2011 edition. The Photo Blue accents pair well with the sharp Metallic Silver and Black color-scheme. The unique ripples found on the sides of the sneaker are one of the trademark staples, setting these apart from any other Foamposite release. For all of you Foamposite fans these aren’t the ones to miss out on. The Nike Total Air Foamposite Max will be available during regular store hours this Friday, September 30th.
