Nike Air Foamposite Pro PRM glows in the dark for fall 2026 drop

Nike gave the Air Foamposite Pro PRM a full phosphorescent treatment, turning the molded shell itself into the headline. The Glow in the Dark pair is the franchise’s first official full glow-in-the-dark build, a rarity that should hit collector feeds hard and read even louder under phone flashes. Black hits on the Swoosh, tongue and outsole keep the Summit White/Black colorway from washing out the effect.

The shoe carries style code IV6246-100 and is priced at $250. It was first linked to a July 24 release, then pushed to September 18, which moves the pair squarely into fall 2026. That shift only heightens the anticipation around a sneaker built on spectacle, not subtlety.

The decisive move here is that Nike made the entire molded Foamposite shell glow, rather than treating luminescence like a gimmicky outsole detail. That gives the Pro a different kind of presence in the age of close-up sneaker photography and night-shot social posts. The shoe looks engineered for visibility, the sort of pair that changes character when the sun drops and the photos start coming out.

Nike has flirted with the idea before. An unreleased 2025 Air Foamposite Pro sample pushed glow across the upper, including the lace collar and patterning, but this release takes the concept from archive curiosity to retail reality. The result is a Foamposite that feels less like a callback and more like a laboratory test made public.

That history matters because the Foamposite line has always been about material drama. Nike introduced it in 1997 in two versions, the Air Foamposite One and the Air Foamposite Pro, and the silhouette is inseparable from Anfernee “Penny” Hardaway. The original Foamposite One arrived in Dark Neon Royal with the 1Cent logo on the heel, a detail that helped cement the shoe’s place in basketball lore. The Pro has also cycled through retro treatment before the One, which makes this glow version feel like a deliberate push to keep the model in rotation.

For younger sneaker buyers, the appeal is immediate: a shoe that looks almost engineered for after-hours visibility. For longtime Foamposite fans, the attraction is more nostalgic, but no less potent. This pair does not soften the line’s excess. It turns the excess fluorescent and lets it speak in the dark.
