So many memories, had all three of these during my Junior High years. 

I wish Nike would bring these back, but I'm sure they'd Gentry would find some way to ruin them.

Repped for the pics.

No doubt.  Damn shame we will probably never see these again and if so they will be some hybrid pile of crap.

Was there a mid version of this?  I'm trying to remember a pair I had in high school, and I remember the plastic around the Swoosh, but I didn't have anything that high.

I'm not sure.  I don't think so but I could be wrong.  I only remember the hi's.

Hmm. I suppose it's possible I had highs and don't remember that clearly.

For some reason and I'm guessing it's the vibrant colors but the Scream Greens and the Jades always seemed Bigger to me then the white and other colorways.  Maybe those bright colors play into it.  I know it does for me. 
 
Consider me signed. Depending on price, I'd be in for at least 2 pair. If we're only looking at around $100 for them (yeah right) then I'd be in for 3. LOVED these when they came out. I'd also love to see the '91 solo flight. The grey/red/black one was a beautiful shoe. I owned the OGs and it got plenty of wear alongside my Jordans. IMO this shoe is timeless and Nike needs to put the flights from that era back on the shelves.

Yessir the OGs.  Not wearable of course but still nice to look at.

Oh and if you would like to keep strolling down memory lane then check this thread out.

Those white, royal Solo Flight 90s. Man - that was the first pair of sneakers I bought with my own money.

Hey Bip.

Yeah I love the Solo Flight 90s.  I would say they are 2nd on my list of old Big High tops with the Command Forces being 1st.  I found a bunch of these 90s in the stash but most of them are beyond ruined.  Damn shame.

Nike would mess it up somehow. Not getting my hopes up that they would execute them properly.

Of course that's what they do.  I took a walk through the mall near my house for the 1st time in who knows how long the other day and stopped in all 3 sneaker stores just for the hell of it.  So many trash retros on the shelves it's hilarious.  Air Slants?  Horrible.  Diamond Turfs?  God awful.  Air Force Maxes?  Turrible.  Oh and then there was the whole section of Jordan junk.  I don't know how anyone buys any of that trash.

Now that the command force pump is returning let's turn our attention back to these. With Ewing athletics bringing back the center hi a shoe that closely resembles the 1990 solo flight and flight 90 I think it's only a matter of time now

Nice!

I just bought a pair of OG '92 Nike Air Flight Mids...

For only $10
