The Official Flightposite 2014 Thread Vol. Carbons, H20, Possible Coppers

I knew they would fly in bigger sizes, been happening to every single Posite that has released in the last few years.
No idea how anyone bigger than a size 9.5 thought they would sit. 7/10 people couldn't care less about the medial side :lol
 
not to be that "you had to be there guy" but when these dropped in 1999 it was one of the wildest designs of all time

they stood out on the shelves more than the foamposites

i could be very wrong but these might have been the first sneakers with a full lace hiding zipper

I remember just seeing them in magazine ads and Nike commercials but that feeling of actually having them in hand for the first time is just WOW. I was hypnotized, there was nothing like this shoe back then. Something straight from the Future.
 
These sold out already?! More pairs may come around later, but I'll keep this in mind moving forward. I thought they were going to sit a little lol.
 
Alleged stock numbers on nike today!

Where you end up getting them from?
snkrs. i overnighted them because i was going to wear them to take my kid trick or treating lol

i gotta see how that goes because when i had them in 1999 they were the most comfortable shoe ever but not sure how thats gonna hold up 25 years later

I had the 2014 ‘Knicks’ pair and it was great. Nice PU insole and good sized Zoom in the heel and forefoot.
 
i’ll take more when i get my 99s from my parents.

coming in the red box is so poor though.

WOW these are tight. the length is fine but i’m having a hard time pulling up the zipper

They still have that famous OG Foamposite/Flightposite brand new smell? That’s probably the best new shoe smell, EVER..lol
 
Look a little bulky near the toe box but otherwise the rest of the shape and color look good.

overlooking the 2.0 soles, im excited to have these back. Looks great
 
pretty sure they been on the red box since 08, OGs had the silver box
I’m almost certain the early OG releases were in the brown/orange box, and then some of the later pair were in that light silver box. Also, MY 08s came in a standard orange box.

100% correct!!!


I had the charcoal/red pair in 2000 and they indeed came in the Alpha project box. My 08 retro black pair came in the orange Nike box.

that’s funny the first thing i did (and always do) is smell the inside and they didn’t even smell like anything. at least not a good one
