Nike Foamposite One 'Tianjin 2.0': The Grail Returns
The Nike Air Foamposite One "Tianjin 2.0" brings back one of the rarest Foamposites ever made. The 2015 original was a regional grail most collectors only saw on resale; this $250 retro finally puts the design in front of a wide audience.

What it means
The Tianjin name carries weight. The original Foamposite One "Tianjin" landed in 2015 as an ultra-limited regional release and climbed into grail territory almost immediately, trading well above retail for years. The shell is the reason: it is covered in Chinese-inspired artwork, including lotus flowers and carp, with references to the Fuwa mascots from the 2008 Beijing Olympics. The 2.0 keeps that detailing but brightens the build, swapping some darker accents for clean white around the collar and interior. For longtime Foamposite collectors, this is a chance to own a version of a pair that was effectively unobtainable a decade ago.
Is it worth holding?
The 2.0 is a wider release than the 2015 pair, so it will not be as scarce, and that caps the upside compared to the original. The pull here is the design and the lineage, not a guaranteed flip. If you landed a pair, log the style code (IR2078-100) and your purchase value, and store it carefully, since Foamposite shells and icy soles both age.
