The release for the “Silver” AF1 Foamposite has come and gone but it appears there’s another colorway on the way. Just over an hour ago, Nike Sportswear gave us a little treat by posting a sneak peek of a Black on Black version of the AF1 Foamposite on their twitter account.

Similar in style, this new model offers a Black Foamposite upper, Black canvas around the lacing, Black mesh on the tongue, and an icy midsole and outer sole. The Sliver colorway was shiny and on the flashy side but this all Black color scheme is great for everyday wear and much more subtle.

Check out a side by side photo of both shoes after the jump and stay tuned for more updates.
