Ahead of releasing an exclusive pair of Foamposites for the DMV, Nike knew there was one person who could get the DMV excited like nobody else: Wale.

The American rapper is not only a hometown legend but also one of the DMV’s biggest sneakerheads. So, it’s only right that the rapper is the face of a new campaign to announce the Nike DMV Air Foamposite One.

A reference to the cherry trees that decorate Washington D.C. with a flurry of pink-hued leaves in the spring, the Foamposite's signature wavy mold comes in light pink contrasting its black base on this city-exclusive sneaker. 

The beauty of the flowers that bloom in the DMV translates into a very pretty-in-pink colorway for Nike’s late-’90s basketball sneaker. 

For now, to get your hands on a pair of these exclusive shoes you’ll need to either be in the DMV or have a killer collection of Foamposites.

The sneakers will be released on August 23 exclusively at select Nike Sportswear retailers in the DMV area. There has been no word on whether a wider online release will follow the DMV-exclusive drop, however, Wale looks to be giving away pairs of the Nike DMV Air Foamposite One through a giveaway. 

The rapper launched a website with his music label UMG where fans are encouraged to send in a photo wearing their favorite pair of Foamposites. On the top of the website, it reads: “You never know what can happen.”

If you’re a serious Foamposite fan, Wale wants to reward you. Calling all owners of Nike's wild Foamposite Clogs or grails like the Foamposite Lite Kryptonate: you better start sending pictures of your shoes to Wale.
