There is no doubt that these Nike Air Foamposite One releases were certainly game-changers for the sneaker game. The crazy part is that they both made their debut back in 2012, with the “Galaxy” Foams dropping during NBA All-Star weekend and the “ParaNorman” Foams via a social media giveaway.

Maybe one of the most hyped sneakers ever is the Nike Air Foamposite One “Galaxy” that caused a mass riot and an eventual reorganization of sneaker releases. The Nike Air Foamposite One “ParaNorman” had us sharing photos of ourselves on social media as a child doing something weird and unusual.

It’s definitely a hard choice to pick one of these two heavy hitters, but if you had to choose, which is the better Nike Air Foamposite One? Cast your vote below and leave your reasoning on why in the comments section.
