These are slowly selling out, definitely won't sit long enough for any kind of discounts. Sorry to those who we're waiting it out. Most places I checked just have size 12-14 left.

Holy cow . Just saw bigj''s pics. That cf print is terrible . How hard would it have been to reuse the LBXI MN veneer? I mean, I don't really know the process but I would assume that material was still available. It seems like they went out of their way to make a piece of hot garbage

it is kinda sad huh that the MN brons have a better looking CF print/pattern that these? just feels like the pattern on the MN align better with the OG FP1 then the actual FP1 retro.

I no longer have my solo flights but looking at the pic above - would a sole swap (including medial) be possible?

i guess... i mean, youd have to cut into the flightposites to create an indentation for the swapped sole PLUS there will be grooves on the toe box of the flightposites that don't connect to any "teeth" since they added more grooves to this version.
you'd pretty much compromise the integrity of the shoe tho.

for those who say these didnt sell well. isnt majority due to the powder 10's? when i went to FTL Saturday first thing dude says is sorry 10's are sold out and im like i didnt want those anyway. asked one of the employees for the FP1 and he didnt even know they had them. of course the average person at a FTL at 8am is going for the new Jordans that are releasing. ya fools to think these will still be sitting on shelves for a discount..
i understand the gripes some of you guys have on the changes made but i never owned the OG which i always wanted so im satisfied (although the medial change is a bit of a bummer) but it deff wasnt a deal breaker for me.

Added a pair of these to cart on Sat and laughed before dumping them. For that price, I wasn't even going to bother. From all accounts, it looks like I made the right decision.

Dude, same goes for my Solo Flights...
solo flights > 2014 carbon fiber Fp1s
its a tragedy. for real
Have you seen this shoe in person bruh? Take a look at them in person, and you will get over it.
The dissapointment is immense.
Nike really botched up a classic in my opinion.

I just cop a pair for my boy from my job seeing it up close I wasn't feeling it there something different. It is the sole? I don't know I just can't put my finger on it. (there in a box because I had to order from the other store the owner have my store sold the pair I had a side on my lunch break)

I was thinking that I remember when I was younger they looked better I just couldn't put my finger on it. I never owned a pair so I was like wtf.

I've been on this site "officially" since '00.
Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought a SOLO FLIGHT would/could EVER be posted in a Flightposite thread/convo and hold ANY weight.

It's less of statement about Solo Flights and more of a referendum on drastically Nike has fallen - that the butchering of one of the best versions of FP2 was so profound that the CF on an old take down model is being looked at nostalgically.

I feel y'all on a collectors perspective, if you can get these below retail then definitely do so.. My only complaint on these is the sole being changed. Other than that I'm cool with my purchase.

Who was the guy that said you couldn't notice the medial side? The sole being a different color than the Posite makes a huge difference. Nice pic.

My regular size fit really snug couldn't even zip up so I purchased a pair half size bigger. After wearing for the first day, the shoes feel comfortable in the toe box area but they feel a little big lengthwise. I've never owned a posite of any kind, but I've read that the materials expand and contour with wear. I'm wondering if I should exchange my pair and if my regular size would fit fine after some wear. I will wear them casually. Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
