NOPE, but they sure look good....have a high price tag, and are limited, and that seems to be all that people care about now a days.
I am sure if an NCAA team really does wear them, and if NBA players wear them, they will have have the real proper zoom setup and not the version that is at retail.

Unfortunately I think we may see more shenanigans like this in the future ezpecially since they appear to be doing really well even though the are lacking in content . When Phil left I think the mentality changed at Nike. I can't imagine them releasing a $ 200 flightposite with basically no zoom if Phil was still in charge. I really hope they don't try to pull the same thing with the foams or future flightposite retros. Times have really changed. Too bad I don't have stock in Nike

No offense to those who like them. But I'd feel stupid as hell for dropping $200+ on some shoes, that aren't at the very least comfortable.

Please don't give them justification/reason to increase the price. Everyone was surprised at the price of the Rache 2k4s and then magically they became $140, when the initial price, even after the 2012 price increases were announced, was $125.Originally Posted by RustyShackleford
This is really unacceptable. There is no reason for this. Foams are the same price and have full zoom, and next year there releasing a Foam based shoes with full 360 max air for $200.
Only thing that's bad about these Zoom Rookies is that it's a shoe that's $200 only because it's shiny and has Penny's logo on it.

You don't seem like the type of dude to rock fakes, and then be dumb enough to post on NT...so is that a pair from a wider release coming soon (

saw a video feature on $C a while back with Marc Dolce and somehow they skipped over or didn't really talk about the cushioning. they really should drop the price on these, but why would they when they are still selling and people are paying over retail for them? If most of NT and I$$ passed on these due to lack of content, pretty sure we would see a price drop, or them add in the zoom or at least stick in the fp insoles prior to shipping them out. oh well.

Scroll back to find your answer my man.. I've left it a couple times but youd be right.. Why would I get a gift from the designer then wear some fakes and post em...
If someone has these on their site for rape prices... Ive never seen it..

They actually point out how small it is in one of the designs, and Dolce says Penny felt they were comfortable, because he likes being low to the ground. I find that a little odd, because they weren't that comfortable to me and I was sitting down at a football game. He has to have different cushioning or a zoom insole.
