Maybe this is a stretch, but could the Nike Air Flightposite 3 be the most responsive Zoom Air baske

I was jut thinking about this and those shoes were super bouncy compared to any other basketball shoe I've ever wore/owned. The thing about those, they never "bottomed out" like the other Flightposites. What do you guys think?
 
I have all the Flightposites and I never experienced the Zoom bottoming out in them, especially the Ultraposite. I agree that the III had the most responsive, bouncy Zoom I have ever experienced in a shoe.

Buttons on the bottom of your feet lol
 
They had the zoom in removable insole which was super thick. They felt really nice, but my feet would always get fatigued while playing in them. I love zoom, but too much zoom really compromises the purpose of it. The best zoom based shoe I've played in was the Hyperdunk 2011, just enough cushioning in the heel and forefoot.
 
Zoom in these was crazy responsive... although they did finally bottom out on me maybe 2-3 years ago.


Not a great cushioning setup for casual wear imo..extended wear caused a sort of foot fatigue and the forefoot strap is NARROW. Did not stretch at all on mine, and i have kinda wide feet.


Nike supposedly once said they would never Retro the FP3 because it didn't so well in 2001. It probably will happen in the next few years though.
 
Man I loved the Vis Uptempos even though I was in like middle school and I did not weigh nearly enough to feel the zoom at all. Probably had on wrong size too. Ventilation was bad with those though

Why do you say that in regards to the casual wear? I'm actually curious of your opinion on that
