 Yeah, I had forgotten that this was a "general Flightposite" thread... so just wanted to make sure I was talking about the right shoe... 

Looked at the resellers here, but they were charging $300...

I couldn't mess with the royal flights if they were in the 2014 mold. That shoe just doesn't feel like a flightposite to me, it feels like a takedown. I just don't think they feel a need to put the same quality into their shoes at all anymore cause they'll still sell. I was looking at my 2007 royal foams and my 09 eggplants the other day and it's crazy how much better those were made than current foams. The fact that they're now $50 more confirms for me personally that I have no need for them.
 
^^ok I see what everybody was so pissed about. the old sole does look 50x better than the new translucent one. wish they would've kept it that way. in other news imma have to cop me a pair of the coppers soon. they're moving where I'm at right now
 
I JUST HOPE THE SOLE ISNT WHITE LIKE THAT AND MORE LIKE REGULAR FOAMS… AND THAT STUPID 2014 MIDSOLE WILL PROB SHOW FACE ON THEM IF THEY RELEASE…DID SOMEONE SAY WE MAY SEE THEM IN 2015?
 
It's not even just the sole. The materials feel super thin and cheap.
 
I can just see Nike doing the "re-mastering" of all the shoes they've butchered and correct the issues we're complaining about...And for a higher price of course...

Just release the damn shoes in all its original form so I can replace my OG pairs already...:{:{:{
 
As this was the "2014" edition, hopefully the 2015 edition will be altered. 
 
Retros from maybe 2006 and earlier were basically OG.

You're talking 8-10 years ago, that's more than half of what most these dudes and dudettes have been alive.

No need to stretch it. It's 8 years.

At least with the current foams you have a more solid feel. One would think that nike would have taken what it learned from migrating from Taiwan to China with the material and apply it to the flightposites. A lot of the coppers I have seen were sloppy and all of the fp2014 feel very thin and cheap.

Dude said 2006 and earlier, 8-10 years perhaps. What's being stretched? Smh

My coppers were pretty unsatisfactory quality wise as far as the small details go but I didn't pay what most paid so I'm not trippin. My thing is the complaints can easily be solved, don't buy Nike product. Instead, most buy and complain. Battered wife syndrome.

i hear you on that. I've finally reached the point where i stopped buying. probably why I've been sticking with the newer sig models vs getting retros.
