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

I remember buying 2 pairs of the UNCs at Dr. Jays on Fordham road for $40 a piece. What a time.

Nostalgia I had the silver pair back in 2008

Everyone else was getting the CDP’s at that. I missed the 11/12’s and got these for 110.00 around Christmas. Last size left, it was my size

Also copped a pair of 99 eggplants around the pandemic and they crumbled after one wear

My 08’s have began to separate..,,can anyone point me to the man to fix em? And not fake super busy.

If it’s just separation, you can do that yourself. Barge cement (the green can). Most important step is making sure to clamp them good for at least 24hrs (vice grip, rubber bands, whatever you got).

Now if you carbon fiber shank plate is brittle/starting to flake…

It seems to be just the sole separating.

Thanks for the advice, but I’d much rather pay someone even if it’s as simple as you made it seem.

Most important thing with reglues is removing the old glue. Need a dremel and/or some acetone for that. It can be done, but can also be easily messed up. I've learned the hard way. Rather pay someone to get it right since I don't have all the tools and skill.

The color is beautiful, I’ll give em that

Why is the outsole so shiny?

and them coming with extra shiny laces is weird. Meanwhile you have Jordan 1's that don't come with extra laces like the Howard's.

^ Pair touched down yesterday, color is amazing for sure and I find them very comfortable. Been a great year for pickups (but horrible for my wallet).

Og traction outsole climbs up the medial front side with an arc and chevron.

New retro removed that whole feature.

I know everyone hates the clogs but how's sizing as those? Go same size as flights?

My clogs just came in yesterday, I went same size in both and I’m regretting it for the clogs. My foot fits in them almost perfectly like I would think I’d want, but they give me a feeling of my foot not being far enough in them where I’m walking on the back of them.

I feel like going 1/2 size up would resolve that problem because they also felt slightly more snug than the flightposites (which were perfect for their fit) & maybe stopped my foot from sliding all the way in.

I suspect the clogs may need to be broken in to have them mold to my foot (since that’s how the foam upper traditionally works) but I have no interest in doing that with clogs.



TL/DR: I say 1/2 size up in the clogs from your flightposite size

Exactly what I needed, thanks for that!

Nah.

This how you get all types of lint on the Velcro patch…. I used to hate that

 

[Magic33]

Lol

Word

When I see that, I think, this is your first pair of Flightposites or you're from the midwest somewhere

 

[erock214]

Been wearing these and wolf grey foamposites heavy last week or two..both feel great on feet for me

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

Thanks for saving me 200$ +++

 

[supercurrymax]

if you need someone to do it for you, send me a PM. I've done several pairs of FP1's including my own personal pairs.
