College colorways on Foamposites are nothing new. Oregon gets a pair every couple of years like clockwork. But Florida State? That is rare air. Nike just confirmed the Air Foamposite Pro is coming back in full garnet and gold Seminoles colors this fall, and honestly, I did not have an FSU Foamposite on my Black Friday bingo card. Here we are though, and it looks incredible.
Let me get the boring but important stuff out of the way first. The Nike Air Foamposite Pro FSU, style code IX2095-600, drops November 28, 2026. That is Black Friday, which tells you exactly what Nike thinks of this release. They are not burying it in some random February window. Retail sits at $240, and it will be available through Nike.com and the SNKRS app. That is flagship pricing for a shoe that deserves flagship treatment.
The colorway is officially listed as Garnet Ash, Metallic Gold and Black. I know some sites are calling it Team Maroon. Whatever label you want to put on it, that shell is Florida State from top to bottom. The Foamposite upper carries a deep garnet tone across the entire molded shell, and up close there is a darker graphic pattern worked into the foam itself. It is subtle from across the room and busy when you actually get your hands on it. That is exactly how I like my Foamposites.
The gold accents are where this thing earns its money. Penny Hardaway lineage runs deep on the Foamposite Pro, and the 1 Cent logo branding shows up here in metallic gold. It is a small touch that ties the whole shoe back to the player who made Foamposite a cultural icon in the first place. You also get smaller gold Swooshes worked in near the forefoot alongside the big white Swoosh on the lateral side, which gives the shoe its main contrast point. Garnet laces, garnet tongue, garnet collar. Gold popping against all of it.
The Seminoles branding is not shy either. The FSU logo lands on the heels and insoles, and the word UNCONQUERED runs vertically down the pull tabs. For anyone not steeped in Florida State lore, that word is a big deal around Tallahassee. It shows up on the statue outside the football stadium and it is basically a second fight song. Nike putting it on the pull tab tells me someone on the design team actually cared about getting this one right rather than just dumping school colors on a shell and calling it a day.
This is not the first time FSU and Foamposite have crossed paths, and that history is part of why this release matters. Florida State PEs and school-exclusives have floated around Tallahassee circles for over a decade, and Nike produced FSU-flavored Foamposite samples that never made it to a wide release. The Seminoles also got the Air Diamond Turf II treatment back in 2014 when the football program was winning national titles. But a general release Foamposite Pro for the garnet and gold crowd? That is genuinely new territory. Most fans have been staring at PE photos from players and staff for years. Now there is finally a pair anyone can buy.
Underneath all that school spirit, the build stays true to the Foamposite Pro formula. You still get the carbon fiber shank visible through the midfoot, the full length Zoom Air cushioning, and the sculpted foam shell that made this silhouette look like it arrived from the future back in the 90s. The outsole on this pair is a light cream tone that breaks up the dark upper nicely. It is the same tooling that has carried every Foamposite Pro retro, which is to say it is heavy, sturdy and built like a tank. Nobody buys Foams for comfort marathons. You buy them because the shell is a piece of wearable sculpture.
The FSU pair is part of a bigger College Football Pack that Nike is rolling out for Holiday 2026. LSU, Ohio State and TCU are all getting their own Air Foamposite Pro colorways, each one officially licensed with school branding. LSU gets purple and gold, Ohio State gets scarlet and grey, TCU gets purple and white with their horned frog details. The whole pack lands on the same November 28 date. Four schools, four colorways, one massive Black Friday sneaker moment. Nike has clearly decided college football fans are an underserved sneaker market, and based on how quickly Oregon releases sell through, they might be onto something.
Now for my honest take. Of the four, the FSU pair is the one I would actually wear. Garnet and gold was made for the Foamposite shell. The deep red against gold hardware has that almost regal look, the same reason the Ruby Red Foamposites and the red Galaxies before them hold value. I think the darker graphic on the shell ages well too, because plain glossy Foams pick up scratches like a phone screen and this pattern hides wear. The Dr. Doom retro dropping the same season is tempting, but garnet is the smarter buy if you actually plan to put these into rotation.
Resale is already moving. StockX has the FSU listed with asks hovering around the mid $200s before the shoe has even released, which tells you the demand is real. A $240 retail with early resale barely above retail usually means one of two things. Either the stock is deep and everyone who wants a pair gets one, or the hype has not caught up yet. I would keep an eye on it as November 28 approaches. FSU alumni bases are massive and they do not mess around when it comes to garnet and gold gear.
So mark the calendar. Black Friday, November 28, 2026. Nike.com and SNKRS. $240. Style code IX2095-600. If you are a Seminole, this is the Foamposite you have been waiting on for a decade. If you are just a Foamposite collector, the garnet shell with gold accents is going to look insane on a shelf next to the pearl and metallic red pairs. Either way, do not sleep on it. UNCONQUERED, right on the pull tab.
