The Nike Air Flightposite will be returning in an original colorway on Saturday, February 22, for $210. I personally love the look of these shoes, and the carbon fiber is honestly one of the coolest graphics to ever have been used on the Foamposite material, IMO or course. In fact, these are the first Foamposite built shoe to feature a graphic. What do you think of these shoes ? I’m actually very excited to see these retro after such a long time. Of course these do have a zipper, unlike the Flightposite exposed.

How do you think they’ll be for an on court option?
The upper will be durable as well as the sole. I can’t tell you about fit because I haven’t tried them on. Cushion would most likely need a break in time due to the double last midsole. Overall I think they would be a great blacktop basketball shoe but I can’t tell you for sure unless I play in them.
Thank you. That’s great info. Having a pair for the blacktop would be excellent too. Most of my rotation right now would die relatively fast on an outdoor court.
Just my 2 cents, but I wouldn’t hoop outdoors in a $210 shoe without XDR, xtra durable rubber
These are pretty dope though. Definitely a cop if you got the money
I played in my FPs inside and out for a season and a half, practiced in them, played pickup games outside in them, walked around in extreme weather in them, And they held up perfectly fine. You should realize that they offer absolutely zero ventilation, though, especially when zipped up
How much do they weigh?
I have the exposed and the zoom feels very weird. It pushed up against the ball of your foot. Not uncomfy but weird. This should is also pretty flexible, surprisingly
do they run true to size?
yes
