I read the OP as just one foot down and would call this a shooting foul.
According to the rules, a shooter's airborne status ends when one foot touches the court. You're calling it wrong.

You can't be airborne if you're touching the court. The definition of an "airborne shooter" in rule 4-1-1 states that the shooter has not returned to the floor.
