The Official Flightposite 2014 Thread Vol. Carbons, H20, Possible Coppers

[kevrocavich1]

Those eggplant/blue and white flightposites were sold on ebay as a 1 of 1 sample back in 2009 or so. I recall the auction because I really wanted them but they are size 9 and im a 10.5. They sold for a bit just north of $1000.

Pics are old.... they've been floating around Japanese sites for a few years. Im pretty sure they're from the last run in '08 or possibly a few years after.

Just wondering if anyone has the full backstory one that colorway ?

Check my response on page 31 just before this one.

Here are 3 shots of the insole.  The one previously pictured was the left, so here is the right.  Super plush and super comfy!

That's how my 08 FP1's insoles have.. I had the charcoal/red FP1's in 2000 an they feel exactly the same as the 2008's.. Both shoes were pretty identical. Quality and all..

Man oh man I hope they do an eggplant/black colorway

kixsquare had pairs up for 300 and sold out all but 1 size... the funny thing is they took detailed pics... excluded the medial side sole on purpose

I'm hopping I can cop a pair without having to deal with the hassle on Saturday

So retail is $210? What the release looking like a general release or some what limited?

i talk to the guy at my hoh and he told me that it was limited

Are these true to size?  I have a narrow foot, size 11.5.  My Jordan 3,4, 11 fit just right.  How do these compare?

True To Size unless you like to rock em fully zipped. If so, go a half size up

I can deal with $210 retail.. I'll try online, doubt I'll have any problems with these but if I strike out online, I'll head to the mall off the early.

 

[mork23]

are these a limited gr by any chance

I'd hate to say it, but the more I look at these the more I want them.
I guess it's a combination of not buying a Flightposite in a few years, and my yearning for the '99 Niketown originals.
I've seen the OG's in person, and they're amazing, but even the change on the medial side of these probably won't keep me away from them (Although it is disappointing)

 

[jdavenp3]

These blow the foam "Yeezy" and XI Miami Nights out of the water to me, even with the changes. I never had a chance to personally see the originals up close so I have no stake in the dispute about lack of continuity with the retro. They look extremely stealth and slick.

I doubt that they are limited at the moment, FootLocker Europe as well as Nike Europe and samller retailers in Europe will get these!

 

[GrizzlyAnimal]

nvm

 

[gdubs1]

I went .5 size up on the 08 FP's... thinking I should do the same on these. 

 

[Magic33]

I had the zinc FP 2. Sold them because they werent really for me. But my goodness, that insole was amazing man.

FP2 are such an underrated shoe. The FP3 seems to get alot of love lately, but I think the 2s are much better.

IMO in terms of comfort and responsiveness

FP3 > FP1 > FP2

I always thought the FP3 was too responsive for basketball

 

[510thanos]

I've decided not to cop unless I can get them for under retail
