They’re cozy. Love the soft neoprene sock liner material. Reviewed my homies pair a couple months back when he picked them up on hibbet for the low, I’ll drop that review soon. Really need the black pair. Crazy how everyone reselling them has em close to retail or more lol

The black pairs were all really strange. Never really saw the OKC pair go on sale. They just kinda vanished. Hornets pair was similar. Playoffs were really the only ones that stuck around.

Be warned . I got these from that site and they didn’t double box … just literally put the shoe box in a bag and shipped it .. worst looking box I’ve ever seen . Was basically just obliterated . Completely destroyed

Not just through shipping. Happened to me at the FTL in Times Square. Homegirl at the counter was more offended by the box than I was, so she had the manger do a price override that went from $49.99 to $29.99 on the Hoops Pack joints.

Yep. It’s ridiculous to expect a customer to just be okay with getting a box like that … like come on .

It's funny, I feel like the boxes on these got beat easier than normal. When I got that first pair of the white/black, damn near every box at the shop was busted in some way.

Those are sick!PE colorway like Kemps but in blue? I didn’t know this til I just stumbled upon this pic the other day. I’m surprised cause I’m a huge Knicks fan who got the flight lite 1 as a kid literally because of Gerald Wilkins

Love these. UNDS’d these after just looking at them in the box for a couple weeks. I need to attain one or two more pairs before we never see them again.

Right on, thank you! I wouldn’t recommend hooping in these as they don’t have any new tech in them. They’re comfortable for an everyday shoe, maybe get some shots up and dribble drills but would cop something more modern for hoop.

This I find so funny. When someone asks if you can play in these, the answer should be yes (with stipulations) because, yes there is no NEW tech in them. But, if they do have a heel and forefoot air unit, then it's fine to play in as oldheads like myself actually DID play in these back in the day. No different than playing in Chucks. Same tech as when they were new. It's just the matter of how comfortable do you want. If one wants more cushioning, an easy fix would be to buy a Boost replacement insole.

Spot on. It’s great to see the newer athletes with better tech and cushioning in their sneakers. However, when I get into to this type of debate with my sons. I always ask, “Is todays player doing work in the same shoes Dr. J, Gervin, Worthy, Magic or Bird wore?’ I wore Flight 89s when I would workout with my sons AAU teams. No issues.This I find so funny.

now I've been playing in some 4s. I like the fact that they're flat and they're fine for dribbling around and are low to the ground. But as soon as you jump and land, the impact goes straight to your joints. My knees are starting to give way lol and its purely my fault for wearing retros. I should just stick to my kd 12s and that zoom strobel makes all the difference. Now the foam that they're using in these retros is absolute garbage compared to stuff that you were getting back in the day (open cell PU). The PU insole is the only thing they have going for em. The SB 4s might hold up. If your under 30, disregard any of this lolThis I find so funny.

I think all retros have been made cheaper than their OGs, so their cushioning and support probably isn't the same.

May not be, but my feet are already jacked up. Insoles are always more important to me at my age.
