Someone I know posted coppers on IG yesterday. Same problem persists, so I don't care. Now they slapped prm on these? FOH. I know some might like the coppers but they're still a gimmick to me Nike is trying to milk. No go for me

Not only this, but the OG carbon fibers were a Niketown exclusive from what I remember, they were limited to begin with.

It's entirely their fault. If they are true to OG models and some previous retros, they'd have no problem selling out, but they're trying to cut too many corners. In theory when you think about all they have, they can be true to the shoe and blow out every release with enough pairs to go around for everyone, but their greed is getting the best of them.I've never seen nike try to hard to sell a model before.Someone I know posted coppers on IG yesterday.

Every time I check this thread I get more depressed. My only hope/delusion is they're burning off the flightposite exposed materials and will eventually get around to real flightposites
Or gentry leaves nike
Or this earth
Whichever

FP1's are one of my favorite nike models ever! Although I did but the "Carbon fiber" FP1 2014's, it's still sad how nike cut corners with this beautiful design. I know people are going to buy regardless, but it's really sickening how they jacked the price up with these. I don't understand why they put the "PRM" label to make these $10 more, which was already high as is. Those coppers look like the same material as the previous 2 FP 2014's. So, what makes these "PRM" again? Oh yeah, I know the answer, NOTHING! $220 for some flightposites is over the limit, but I can't complain to much, I did but the black pair, but I was very reluctant on purchasing them.

Imagine if they were done properly :\
That's why I'm wondering if this might deter them from doing them properly.
