    Comfort and style at its finest...as far as basketball shoes go...too heavy to actually play in for the average person though

    CWK,

    I was wondering if you could shed some light on these. I assume they're a development sample for the Foamposite Max considering the full length airbubble. Besides that, I dont know much else. Any info would be appreciated.

    Got 2 OG's I gotta upload them though, my size 13 is crumbled because I played nonstop in them a couple of summers ago.... My 14 is still just fine in hisbox.... This shoe is one of the G.O.A.T. Anyone knows that as a fact! If you don't have it yet get one...

    I came across those on eBay yesterday. I believe those are OG sz 14 that were personalized for Penny. The seller said he wore those in the 97playoffs against the Miami Heat and they have his autograph on the heel (which they do)

    correct. i think its kind of a steal for putting them for a bin price of the amount that he put. signed on both shoes, game worn, and they werepersonalized... meaning 1 of 1... no other shoe has this, the other personalized penny shoe that he had, had the black and blue carbon color. wouldnt mindputting them on a credit card... 3 easy payments with no interest..... hmmmmmm[​IMG]

    One of my favourite shoes are my Flightposites! I really love them! The Foamposite Max are too heavy! I have yet to own a Foamposite One, but I just can'twait. I always loved the design, but now that I read these info.... That's why I love NT. I know a lot about shoes, but I learn even more! [​IMG]

    Not the foamposites, but in the same family [​IMG]These are BY FAR theBEST performance shoes I have worn out of And 1 Quests, Adidas ADAN III, Nike Shox VC 1, Nike Air Lightning, And 1 Tai Chi Mid, Nike Zoom Kobe II Strength,Nike Shox VC V, Adidas KG II. I've been looking for an other new pair in 10.5 for a while now too! I tore my ankle ligaments last summer, and just had asevere ankle sprain beginning of December, and I'd kill someone to get a pair of these. Best ankle support I've ever experienced!

    mr. plump -
    Wow, I've never seen those - and I worked for NIKE Basketball back then! I would guess they were a "look-see" sample, which is athree-dimensional rendering created for visual evaluation (not weartesting). The carved swoosh was a precursor for the flames on the final production version. Are those a size 15/16? If so, I would be VERY interested in them.

    I must have stronger legs than you all or something, because they don't feel heavy at all IMO
