They DEFINITELY wouldn’t still hold without a FULL restoration including air units.

Remember though, Flightposites use a polyurethane insole that carries the zoom units, so you really just need an insole from a newer pair.

Did they put zoom in any retro after 08?

Absolutely.
I was using an insole from a 2019 Flightposite in my 08s before they started separating.
Here’s an old weartesters video that talks about it:

This is not Flightposite. Nike and their watered down shenanigans again.
They do look a little diff, they look more like the boot they dropped a couple yrs back

My 08 golds and eggplant still insoles are still intact and have responsive zoom air units. That’s interesting that they are known for crumbling.

The rubber buckles are usually the first thing to go. My anthracites are somewhere in my parents basement rotting if I didn’t toss them. I’ll take the sail FP1’s and go back to lurking.

It’s a shame they didn’t fix the outsole, they otherwise look great.

Nike don't even know.... if they fixed that remedial sole, their profits would go up 0.5 percent.

People talking about the outsole but look at the state of the small swooshes in the foamposite material like a 3 y/o did it smh the OGs were not that messed up at all to much corner cutting on my fav shoes.

I dig what you sayin, but charging $240 for an incorrectly done sneaker is egregious. That lateral piece is flagrant and the most obvious.They just be doing nonsense because it was a passing thought in their head.

This shoes was arguably nikes greatest basketball shoe tech wise ever they took the foamposite to a whole nother level it deserves more than this shocking token retro treatment for its 25th anniversary.

I’m confused… Wale’s pair in that vid above had the correct sole…
What does that mean for the upcoming retail pairs for the Golds?

Either way, this is ********.
