UPDATE 1/3/26: The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Gym Red” is expected to release May 29th, 2026. This will be a re-release of the 2015 “Red Octobers” colorway.

Original Story 7/2/25:
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Gym Red” is officially set to return in Summer 2026, bringing one of Nike’s boldest red executions back into rotation. Often nicknamed the “Red Octobers,” the pair resurfaces as Foamposite energy quietly builds again.

Nike returns to the silhouette with an all-monochrome take. The sculpted Foamposite shell, oversized Swoosh, and contoured upper are sprayed with a glossy candy-apple red sheen. That color runs through the ripstop-style toe, mesh tongue, and laces for a cohesive look.

Minimal contrast is used in this design but with intention. A red-and-black carbon fiber midfoot plate interrupts the shell, and black detailing lands on the tongue label and the smaller outlined toe Swoosh. Those flourishes help keep the look reined in rather than out of control.

Released in 1997, the Foamposite Pro was once the future of basketball sneakers. That bulky construction now feels more retro, but this design is still full of confidence. This Gym Red iteration also recalls mid-2010s triple-red releases that sparked heavy conversation.

Nike Foamposite Pro Gym Red 2026 Release Date
