FL/Champs Heads...'08 Release Date Question

[jumpmantwo3]

Does anyone know if Canada is getting the following and when:

Air Zoom Flight 95?
Air Zoom Flight 96?
Air Flightposite?

Peace

 

[apocalypz]

and not to thread hijack, but any stores in Toronto getting the Countdown packages? If so, which ones?

 

[goosebear10]

as far as I know footlocker/champs canada has something against nike retro basketball shoes..

 

[sole purpose ceo]

23 packs:
Don't quote me, but I believe TROOPERS confirmed the first few packs for LS (Livestock) and I believe FTL/CHA will carry them also.. Something fierce like$400+ or so?!

Nike BBall shoes:
I agree with Goose, I wouldn't expect to see these at FTL/CHA Canada, but maybe LS, GDFT or Da Zone?

 

[fenixconnexion]

niketown will probably get the 95s and 96s because they carried foamposites, where FL & Champs did not... sucks though, i dont have a connect atNiketown... and yeah, why does fl and champs canada have something against nike basketball retro shoes?...

 

[i love af1]

Niketown? oh you mean the Nike Store...

 

[dolla billz8919]

Footlocker Yorkdale baby...(for the packs that is)

 

[goosebear10]

did the nike store get the penny 1's and barkley retro's? because I would assume that whatever store got those shoes would get the zoom flightretro's.The flightposite retro's maybe but I doubt the other two but I really need a couple pairs of eggplant flightposites

 

[jumpmantwo3]

^yo goose, I am pretty sure nobody carried Penny 1's here recently. Although 6 years ago, the white/black/red AP1's came out in FL. It's a pitybecause in the US, all these retro Nike BBall shoes are sitting on the shelves when they can move more units by selling them here (@ a good premium too)

Picking them up @ GF, LS, etc...is all good, but you gotta admit they charge an arm and a leg sometimes. I understand its business and a niche market (supplyand demand), but still...

As for the packs, Trooper was right and pretty much FL/Champs will have them so don't worry..@ $400cdn+ nobody will buy them except hardcore heads

 

[theprocessofbelief]

Nike Canada will most likely get all three, what stores will actually carry them, I don't know.

I have a summer/fall meeting Tuesday, I will let you know what I find out.

I almost had a heart attack seeing the Zoom Flight 96s at Champs today. Had me reminiscing about the good old days when only the rich kids could afford thatshoe

 

[jmadidas2001]

as far as I know footlocker/champs canada has something against nike retro basketball shoes..
That would be Nike Canada's decision not to bring a lot of Nike Retro Hoops shoes into the country...not Champs/FTL...you really think thatthey would pass on these styles if offered by Nike???

C'mon now...think!

^no youre right about nike making certain shoes available in canada..thing is ask any footlocker/champs district manager in canada what shoe would they ratherhave in the store..a pair of shox running shoes or a nike retro basketball shoe that didnt sell well the first time around.9 times out of 10 I would almost betthey would go for a pair of shox running/lifestyle shoes.for every one customer that wants a pair of nike retro basketball shoes theres 10 other people whowould buy a shox running shoe in canada.Im not sure what it is but at least in toronto shox rules when it comes to trends at footlocker/champs.

 

[ohburrrr]

are the BB2s coming to Canada?

 

[massago]

couldn't post this for some reason the other day, so posting now.

Flight 96s are available at Champs Sports at Metrotown, Metropolis side of the mall one. Only a few sizes left though, so act quick.
