Stranger Things x Foamposite Is Here & It’s Giving Big Evil Energy

Nike and Stranger Things clearly weren’t finished after their last capsule. With the series finale pushing the franchise into full “event” territory, the Swoosh has doubled back with a collab that feels darker, louder, and way more serious that the light hearted previous drop. This time, the spotlight lands on the Nike Air Foamposite One (IR7336-001), a silhouette that already looks like it came from another dimension.

The colourway leans straight into the Upside Down. A black-to-bright crimson gradient floods the moulded Foam shell, like it’s been scorched from the inside out. Across the upper, subtle lightning and vein-like textures creep over the surface, giving the shoe that “something’s wrong here” energy even before the details hit. Reflective Hellfire-style accents add a sharp flash when light catches them, and the whole build feels more like a prop from Hawkins than a standard retro basketball release.

Then come the Easter eggs. Penny Hardaway’s “1 Cent” branding shows up flipped, a smart nod to the upside-down theme. There’s also “Found You” stamping hidden on the heel pull tabs for anyone paying attention, plus graphic insoles featuring Vecna imagery that tie the story together properly. The packaging keeps the same collector mindset too, expected to arrive in a special box with extra pins, giving it that full capsule feel rather than a one-off colourway swap.

This Stranger Things x Nike Air Foamposite One (IR7336-001) isn’t built for the collectors. It’s for people who appreciate when their sneaker has a backstory. If the drop really lands on Friday the 13th, then timing couldn’t be better and props to Nike for nailing that. Keep it locked for confirmed UK release info and where to buy links.
