In addition to the 2025 return of the “Pearl” Nike Air Foamposite Pro famously featured in Spike Lee’s “He Got Game,” the model will also be making a comeback in a lesser-seen yet revered look.
According to @zsneakerheadz and Sneaker Files, the Nike Air Foamposite Pro in “Pine Green” is slated for a holiday ’25 retro release. This will be the first time the colorway has been reissued following its debut appearance in September 2011. Considerably more subtle than some of the more vibrant and graphic-adorned Foamposite releases from its era, the “Pine Green” colorway mixes the forest green sha...morede with black accents including on its lateral Swoosh logo.
A closer look at the green Foamposite material reveals an iridescent color-shifting treatment similar to what is seen on the recently reissued Nike Air Flightposite in metallic gold. Hints of purple can be seen in the “Pine Green” look depending on how the light hits it. And less than a year after the original “Pine Green,” Nike issued an Air Foamposite Pro in “Gym Green” which leaned more toward the purple side of the color spectrum.

The Air Foamposite Pro model was originally released in 1997 alongside Penny Hardaway’s Air Foamposite One signature sneaker. Unlike the latter, which featured Hardaway’s “1 Cent” logo on the tongue, heel and outsole, the Air Foamposite Pro was not tied to a specific player.
Its upper uses the same heat-molded manufacturing process and features Zoom Air cushioning, but the Air Foamposite Pro added a large TPU Swoosh on the lateral side and replaced Hardaway’s logos with that of Nike’s. In addition to appearing in “He Got Game,” where it was worn by Ray Allen’s Jesus Shuttlesworth character, the Air Foamposite Pro was worn on the NBA court by players such as Tim Duncan.
Although the “Pine Green” Air Foamposite Pro wasn’t connected to an athlete or celebrity, its unique colorway made it a hit with fans of the sneaker franchise in ’11. A year later, in February 2012, the much-hyped “Galaxy” Air Foamposite One was released, which brought new levels of attention to both models.
The Nike Air Foamposite Pro “Pine Green” is expected to be released during the holiday ’25 season at a retail price of $230. The ’11 iteration is pictured here.

Justice Department has reportedly endorsed a taxpayer-funded procedure for inmate who sent explosives to their Washington address
The US Department of Justice has reportedly endorsed a taxpayer-funded “gender reassignment” surgery for a prison inmate charged with sending a mail bomb to the DOJ headquarters in Washington.
The prisoner, who was initially not identified in court documents, sued for a sex-change last December. The Georgia Department of Corrections sent a status report to the court on Monday, revealing that the surgery w...moreill be performed soon.
“The Gender Dysphoria Committee convened on November 1, 2024. The Committee has medically cleared Ms. [Jane] Doe for surgery and has informed the Georgia Department of Corrections that the recommended treatment plan for Ms. Doe is gender reassignment surgery,” says the document, quoted by the conservative outlet Headline USA on Wednesday.
‘Jane Doe’ is the legal pseudonym for parties that wish to remain anonymous.
Headline USA has identified the plaintiff as David Cassady, 55, who has been serving a life sentence in a Georgia state prison since 1993 for multiple counts of “aggravated sodomy,” gang membership, and other charges.
In April this year, the DOJ charged Cassady with making two bombs and mailing them to a federal courthouse in Alaska and “a federal facility at 1400 New York Avenue NW in Washington, DC.” The latter is the DOJ headquarters in the US capital.

Cassady allegedly made the bombs in 2019-2020, while serving his sentence at the Reidsville, Georgia prison, which has since closed. He was then transferred to the Phillips State Prison in Buford.
The federal indictment charged Cassady with one count of making an unregistered destructive device, two counts of mailing a destructive device, and one count of attempted malicious use of an explosive. The defendant has pleaded not guilty.
After the charges were unsealed in April, Atlanta’s WSB-TV revealed that one of the bombs was sent to the widow of the man Cassady sexually assaulted as a teenager.
The federal trial was scheduled for December 9 but was recently postponed, with no new date scheduled. According to Headline USA, the DOJ has continued to refer to Cassady as a man in the bomb case, but as a woman in the amicus brief supporting his request for a sex change at taxpayers’ expense.
Cassady’s case appears to be based on the precedent set by Peter “Donna” Langan, a neo-Nazi bank robber who last year became the first federal inmate to receive gender-reassignment surgery at government expense....
