IMO, these are a prototype used by Nike to understand and learn the properties (both functionally and aesthetically) of foamposite.
Going from leather/canvas/nylon uppers to a molded polyurethane upper isn't the kind of thing that would go directly from paper to a marketed piece of footwear. Precedent in the design and production process would be set with a technology like posite, probably requiring a little extra R&D...
The shoe lacks any real aesthetic design components and is purely utilitarian also lending credence to them being a posite paradigm...
Posite itself, took inspiration from "foam in place" technology that's found in automotive seating and packaging, as well as the concept of having a r. angle lateral support wall coming up from the base of the shoe... one can see a resemblance from the aforementioned being implemented into the discussed shoe w/varying thicknesses, strap-esq fit system etc...
Any other info. is greatly appreciated!
... I'd imagine these are the rarest Foams in this thread...
