The Glove Thread / Zoom Flight 98

[travis]

excuse my ignorance but wat exactly is the "zoom air" in shoes ?

 

[s dubl]

Zoom air is a type of cushioning. More of a responsive bounce instead of shock absorbing air units.

 

[orsrt8]

The Lebron X is an example of full length visible Zoom Air.

 

[keano]

Did jimmy jazz ship out?

 

[ceejay277]

the kobe 8 or kd 4 ,5, and 6 also use zoom air

 

[dankenstien88]

Im curious to see the synthetic leather being use on the white/green pair in person.... If its the same stuff as the toe rand on the black/red they'll crease like crazy.

Gotta try Sat on NDC only two stores got em in Austin, and they had one FSR. 

 

[s dubl]

the kobe 8 or kd 4 ,5, and 6 also use zoom air

Bad examples...

Kobe 8 only uses it on + or elite models, KD 5 and 6 have zoom air/air max combo, and the 4 only has zoom in the forefoot.

 

[zzzlll]

Will these be discounted on Swoosh?

 

[yungchamp]

You can't be serious....

You know how many ftl employees have been NTers for years? I'm sure there's plenty that haves moved up in the corporation over the years that are still NTers.

 

[dankenstien88]

didnt a shoe release a few years back where the hightop had full zoom but the lowtop didnt.

I believe Eastbay got alotta complaints about it and had to change the description

Anyone remember what model it was ?

Nah plus model of the kobe 8s didnt even have zoom. Elites only

But yea bad examples. Kobe 6 is probably a better example

Something tells me they wont be but my fingers are crossed

I would like to see what the Oregon State inspired pair looks like in person. I know a lot of you guys hate how they pimped out the Griffey's but I think Nike could possibly come up with some great color ways with this shoe. Then again Nike would probably find a way to make something off the wall. Just glad I got the White/Black pair very happy!

san antonio got plenty my dude , call malls here

 

[mork23]

i seriously though about playing ball on these today

  but the cloth is so thin it might easily rip if it gets stepped on not to mention its a dirt magnet, good thing i got a spare Lebron X in my bag

  i think iam just gonna wear this casually and keep it clean

 

[hbk83]

Wore mines a couple days already, no crease either, got my normal size, idk

 

[vtotheinay]

wrong. the + models of the kobe 8 all have a zoom air unit in the heel of the insoles as well as the elites

Last pages look like bunch of people arguing over whose right. More pics.

Son of Gloves sat on shelfs back in the day.

It's "shelves."

No this will not be discounted...

 

[dipsetgeneral]

Waiting for the Seattle colorway. I got way too many black and white kicks.

 

[skip2mylou23]

I don't really like military dudes, but you should be getting your discount wherever you can. You've earned it.

Nah im good. Made it my whole life without a discount, don't feel I need it now. If I could I would give it away to someone less fortunate.

Mad props for that.

Would you guys trade these for Gold Medal KDlV ? DS

In a heartbeat. Just make sure they're real.
