As some of you already know, the Nike Skyposite was revealed in our Nike forum a couple of weeks back.
Given DC's posite predilection, I'm curious as to what my fellow DC folk, Marylanders, and, yes, even you Virginians think about them.

Honestly, the black pair is tempting me more than it has any right to. Something about this shoe just doesn't sit well with me - perhaps it's thekeds-esque stripe on the midsole (or the sheer fact that a foamposite even has a separate midsole, given that an integrated midsole served as one offoamposite's primary beneifts), perhaps it's the equally keds-esque grommets, the Blazer influence, or the discordant articulated toe, borrowed fromthe Flightposite III / Air Signature Player, which gives the shoe a bit of a clownish vibe.
Apart from any of that, though, the re-re-release of the Total Air Foamposite is likely what will prevent me from purchasing the Skyposite. Nike has thiswonderful habit of cannibalizing their own sales and dooming new releases to failure. You release the Foam One and Flightposite, then bring out the FoampositeLite... only to have the Foamposite One come back out again. It's the Pete Myers effect. It's hard enough to follow a legend... and even worse whenthat same legend suddenly follows you.
