I recently bought some flightposite 2 for cheap off eBay just so I could put the zoom sockliner/insole in my old flightposite tbs. Too bad u ca t order the zoom sockliner/insoles

Arrived today, heel only zoom

 damn you Nike

 Got them from an Ebay dude too from Florida. Btw did you remove the heel bag and the foam in order to put the full length bag? Or just putted it on top of the midsole?

sorry to hear you got the heel only version too. i would just return them and get your money back if you can. I cut out the heel bag (which was glued in really well, and dug up the foam crap also, and placed the zoom bag in the shoe . the inside of the shoe is made to accept the full length unit. i used a box cutter. good luck man. just one or two more shoes on my list, and i'm out.

Unfortunately returning them is not an option... Would cost me 30usd to ship them back to the US

 Anyway I ordered some zoom insoles , gonna do the transplantation too. I just wish that stupid foam goes off easily instead of breaking into pieces. Yeah I saw that too about the full length zoom construction. The crappy foam has the exact size as the full length bag. Will post pics and info about this kind of surgeries when I get the zoom bag.

Maybe someone at Nike will read this thread bit I dont think anything will change. Thy are laughing their way to the bank and at the same time alienating some of their longtime loyal customers like me.

This is it. Why fix a scam when it isn't broken? I walk into shoe stores now, older & wiser, see what is passing for new tech & vaunted retroes (don't get me started on JB Fusion crap) shake my head sadly, then turn around & walk out of the store. Nike IS saving me money with a lot of stuff nowadays.

Zoom has been gone for a LONG time mainly because it was worthless and just added weight.
