The only one I could find that's still floating around...

 

[mork23]

was really excited to get these yesterday but after seeing the response on these (slept on so far) I want to hold on a bit more

 these will be copped on a later date with discounts

 

[blammo]

With everything going on with these- improper retro and all, I wish they just made a retro+ colorway. Even if they used this new carbon fiber (the outsole is a shame, too) and put a white outsole on it a la KGs PEs from back in the day:

One of my most favorite PE's. I made my own version out of one of my og CF's

and for some added color....

Had the white n reds for 40 off ebay in 2002. ds too.

Too big for me at sz14 so i sold em.


Dummy

Anybody wear custom insoles with these?
Doesn't work too well, the carbon fiber plate on my insoles scratch up against the arch stability plate on the Flightposites.
It makes this squeaky sound when you walk

 

[fdub]

I can honestly say that I am happy with my purchase. I really like the glossy finish and the outsole thing doesn't bother me at all. This might be bold, but I think these are my favorite purchase so far this year!

If uv seen me around then u know I rarely ban people.

That said your elaborate statement makes no sense when it comes to this retro. None at all.

all i was trying to say is true ogs are not really gonna be around for much longer.

how many collectors do you know that have og puma clydes,af1s from 82? or og shelltoes??

it gets to a point where the shelltoes lovers are trying to track down 97/98 retros and the af1 lovers tracking down 90s ish.

some pairs are just impossible to find ,in some cases sneakers just crumble.

so 20+years from now... people are not even gonna be able to track the 1999 joints down and this retro will be put on a pedestal.

Can't remember who posted these a while back, but white CF samples.. I think these were 1 of 1 ?

 

[rottenpieces]

Will the dark charcoal/red ones ever make a comeback?

Not sure. I remember seeing them at cabazon outlets back in the day. Was praying that I could fit a 7.5 when I knew darn well I wore a 9 lol. Think they were $50 too.

The print on these aren't as noticeable though. I still might cop. My question though is it really carbon fiber? And for some reason from the video they seem really light.

I don't think so. It's more of a carbon print than anything.

I noticed there was a lot of talk regarding the Carbon Fiber on the new retro so thought I'd share some pictures of mine from 1999. Personally, I feel Nike did us true lovers of this shoe a disservice with the changes. I don't mind the sole change but the carbon fiber switch is what has me really disappointed. I still might buy the retro though because my OGs aren't really in any shape to be worn considering how old they are.

 

[PRIME]

blammo Those are so dope man.


I'm still wishing we could get some of these

 

[spaceorlando]

Correct me if I'm wrong but beside the Foamposite One/Pro there's never been another Posite model with a clear sole right. Out of the original 6.

nice! I copped a vvvnds pair a few months back for a steal of $100. I don't want to rock em yet until I lose some weight so as not to put pressure on the older sneakers but still cant wait to pull them out.
