Makes no sense how Nike keeps messing this up or even changed the outsole in the first place

The changes on the medial front-quarter have to come due to structural issues and vent tears via consumer feedback/returns. I really see no other explanation why the whole tooling of the upper and outsole near where the first metatarsal are completely updated from 2014 on...purists are not pleased.

this was my first pair too. 7th grade for me, convinced my Pops to cop em for me after I scored 3 tds in a little league game. Literally could not tell me anything.
theres a sz 13 on ebay for $1k I been watching for over a year:
i didnt get the columbia 15 but got the black/red for $20 on clearance at Footlocker.

How are the new outsoles in terms of performance and possible separation?

I gotta believe it's something like this. Obviously they also changed the actual mold of that area of the posite material, too, with two additional seams in the upper area around the big toe area. Still a bummer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it the 2013 Flightposite Exposed that initially had the stripped down outsole?
And then when the regular Flightposite returned in 2014, they retained the stripped outsole.
And then when the regular Flightposite returned in 2014, they retained the stripped outsole.
From what I was told, they wear tested the new pair and the on court performance was the same, and that played a role in the decision to not change it.

I’d assume it went with the “stripped down” theme of the exposed version.

My 2014 Knicks pair separated by 2018... I had OG flightposites from 2000-2012 and they lasted a tour in Okinawa, 2 years of running camp pendleton hills and over 100 games of basketball on concrete .. they don't make em like they used to...
