"Nike air Flight Huarache" Still hoping, praying, and waiting for these to return. This year or n

Remember guys, these are “retros”. These are not built for performance, just style points. I’m going to wear these maybe once a year with all the other shoes I have😅. Also, being a mostly white shoe, I don’t expect them to be pristine after the first wear anyways. Just my two cents💯

But that guy on the design team said! :lol:
 
Idk fam IMO these felt and looked hella trash when I saw them ....maybe i saw a pair with QC /Defects like others have stated .....but that pleather they used is going to look like *** after a few wears. Nike Def could've done better in terms of leather used like alot better. But that's my imo. Regardless enjoy your joints cuz I know this is a pair alot of us remember/might want just off of nostalgic strength and Nike being Nike this is what they give us so this what we have to settle for, again my opinion brethren

I’m not saying they’re amazing, but they’re a long way from being the worst quality retros Nike puts out. Christ, my Chloro Trainer 1s are “trash” leather, too. You should see what those toe boxes look like after a week or two LOL
 
Cncpts pair arrived :nthat:

The leather around the toebox looks/feels very plasticity, stiffer, compared to the runners for sure. Not total cardboard but feels like it was coated.

Interesting fit on foot. It felt like my foot was forced to be straight if that makes sense.
Not spongy. Not brick like. Solid underfoot.

Something about my foot made it difficult to get these on, extremely difficult to take off lol. Sort of pulled my back lol.
Maybe I'm just old.

Similar to the recent white cw flight lites.
Sizing wise I'm in the camp with those that say they fit different from the runners.
12.5 in the runners is a must for me.

Sz 12 was fine, slight pressure on the pinky toe but not crushed. I'm sure breaking in it will be fine.

For reference: sizes I wear. Wider foot. Measures right at 12 on the Braddock thingy.
Pinky toe crush is the issue on my right foot.

Hope it helps someone make the right choice.

Those 12.5's are a blessing when they can be found! They're a perfect fit for me in most Nikes and Jordans but unfortunately aren't highly produced.
 
I want a pr of Kobe’s but have to get the Michigan’s first. Will not move forward until then lol
