Yellow was the color mine turned to also.

Question for the flightposite experts. Back when the OG black flightposites released, I know at least in the Northeast they released in a dull charcoal black color. I remember picking up a Vibe magazine around that time and there was a picture of R. Kelly wearing a pair of shiny black flightposites. They were shiny like the black Foamposite 1's. Was there any information on these? Me and my boys used to think that they released a shiny black in other parts of the country.

BTW, my silvers eventually turned yellowish especially after they got scratched up but boy were they fresh when they were new. I used to wear them with a silver Charles Woodson jersey. I'd wear my Eggplants with a Sacramento Jason Williams jersey or Randy Moss jersey and a pair of the Guess ashy black jeans.

man such a big difference...thats crazy

I sold my Silver Euros because the tips were starting to fade yellow BADLY, rarely worn...

So just saying, they faded too..........................

But not as bad as the regular version tho
I swear nike used the thinnest paint ever for the silvers.

I think I lost the right shoe

My og's did it badly... I never owned the euros but my 08 retro's are still as silver as I bought them.. I remember being scared to buy the 08's because of how my og's faded

actually, I just found out its gone last night. haven't worn them in years so its not a big deal. I moved last april so it could have been lost during the move.

I used to play basketball in them so the paint rubbed off BUT I only hooped in them because the toe box got yellow on the 1st wear... I think it touched something and the paint fell off

extremely fast. I wouldn't suggest it. the sole is pretty thin. I used to hoop outdoors in my all navy with the white soles. didn't last very long.

 

[domertx]

Depends on where you live honestly.

I haven't been to the mall since I copped mine so I don't know if they're still sitting.

But I don't expect them to be around too long.

Funny u say this


I only used my 08 black ones casually, a d they were donezo by 2011.

The flightposite is for indoor courts, the wear and tear of an outdoor court is too much for the thin sole of the FP1.

The Foamposite sole is more suitable for outdoor use.

^ How did your re-glue hold-up?

All good on the white soles. Haven't touched any others yet, too lazy hahaha

 

[Sinner]
