Nike changed the shape of outsole and have the nerve to charge $210. What a slap in the face.

I could care less about clogposites... they can replace anything they want on them. they still trash.

Me either but it would be f'd up if they put the correct outsole on the clogposite and not on the flightposite

I wouldn't be surprised if the Clogposites had the proper sole. I think the main reason why they used the modified outsole on the FP1 mids is because it meant they could cut costs by using the same mold for the Posite shells as the No-Zips.

I wonder what the rationale was for them to even modify the midsoles on the no zips other than to have a detail which set the shoe apart.

I think the intention of the No-Zips was to make the shoe look more like the Foamposite Ones. A gradual way to introduce the shoe to beasts that didn't even know what a Flightposite was until a few months ago.

- fair enough.... they should have dropped some classic foam colors if that was their angle
royal FP no zips would have had people going nuts.

Nostalgic convo but they deaded the FP1's with this. There is no rationale, there's still solo flights floating around with the proper outsole. They tried to pull a fast one but the og collectors ain't goin. Flights were always a niche show and I'm all for these bombing when they drop. Straight like that.
Bet they bring the FP3's back with no buckle(faulty as it was) but it's the principle man.
I didn't wanna weigh in because I knew the dc area would lose it on the strength. We ain't forget. The glory days of foams Duncan's and flights is gone.

That sounds like a very strange colorway, at first it looks like a Suns colorway, but the green totally offsets that.
I hope that they will also release the regular black Flightposite I as well as some Orlando and Suns colorways, maybe even the Penny PEs!

mmmm, what a blower on the different outsole. I'm not usually one to trip off of small differences from ogs to retroes, but when it's potentially affecting the durability of the shoe that's another story. Most of the people that weren't already hip to fp1s will get them and just assume the sole was supposed to be that way and never know that's something they should be mad about.
