I dont see them selling to be honest outside of the hardcore forum people and even then most people would wait it out knowing that they would end up at outlets / on clearance racks

Can anyone tell me 100% what these are? I was thinking Delta Force ST but just look a tiny bit different. A friend found the photo and was asking. Thanks in advance from Australia.

I think they are scared after things like flight lites and commands hit under half retail.
These shoes require decent leather for comfort.
A bigger shoe means more leather.
The junk on commands was due to cost vs demand.
They wernt gonna risk having real quality cost them even more if it sat.
Commands were cool to stock for cheap but quality highs will likely be released like the pressures now because of the flop.

I can't see some of the defining markings very well, but my gut says they're the Quantum Force, which was the nearly identical take-down model of the Delta.

1990 SOLO flights - can anyone remember what models had the air window ? Ive seen some pics of models with the visible air but I never remember seeing any solo flights with this back in the day?

Air Flight 90 had the window, and plastic/hard rubber vents by the swoosh/lace locks. Solos were a "take-down," but IMO, the better shoe.

Having seen a retro of the Command Force and the Air Pressure both within the past two years leads me to believe it's only a matter of time for one of these shoes to come back, be it flights, forces or 180 pumps. I do agree any future release would have somewhat low production numbers with higher quality like the Pressures since the way that shoe came out seemed to be in direct response to the lack of enthusiasm the CFs were met with. Honestly, when I first saw this I was so stunned I thought it was a joke.
If this can happen in the year 2016 anything can happen.

The black white solos pictured here have always been one of my favs too.
Just so damn tough looking.
Even when I was air window crazy during the time, my lust for these was too real.
I too think it is superior as a takedown.
Didnt many of these get lost in that big shipping accident back in the day?

GET OUT OF MY BRAIN LOL!! Yep, even when that visible Air was a status symbol, I loved those Solos. Tie between the black/white and the white/dark Royal for me. I actually had a wearable pIr of the blacks a few years ago and sold them. One of my very few selling regrets.
