Carbon Fiber Flightposite 1?

[jae oh en]

with those, i've always said there was no real set market value for them. it's just how badly the next man wants them.

i paid ~650 for my DS pair almost 2 years ago. i bid 1100 in the auction though

i was ODing and willing to go the distance, i was not going to let theopportunity of owning them DS in my size pass me up again.

if you want them that bad...go for it.

well damn....not going to lie, i say $600 is my limit onthem but if i have to fight a bunch of others for my ds size, who knows how far i'll go. i'm praying for a retro real soon so i don't ever have tothink about something like that.

you're severely off dude, retail was the normal price as every other FP1.

I think I would honestly pay about 400-500 if there was a complete DS pair of Pump Furys (original) in my size, but other than that 200 is my limit for shoes

 

[mrmagic8ball]

#1 - like its already been said Nike could retro them and totally kill the value

#2 - I'd be scared to wear them due to the sole peeling away

we should all just speak up and show interest to Nike for a retro and then we'd all be happy to cop for $160

 

[sensation87]

got a pair for $325 over the summer

 

[Magic33]

I like Flightposites, but never really liked these

I'd rather get some colored ones

 

[rottenpieces]

This is one of my holy grails

No, these don't go anywhere near 1200. The market value for these is probably around 550 to maybe 600 MAX.

And as much I like this shoe, I've always thought they were overrated. I'd much rather have the HOH Jason Kidds instead.

 

[dr damon]

carbon fibers were the best colorway that dropped. TB colorways next, then the obsidian with the white outsoles.

 

[baalnood]

one of the best flightposites of all time!

 

[whyte1der05five]

Realistically these can be had for around 750.

1200 is OD.

 

[kickzny96]

yeah 1200 is OD (understandable, but still OD) it is a rare shoe i just wouldn't pay that much for them even if i was delusional and trippin on ACID all that the same time

 

[purplehazen]

they hot but 1200 is way to much, but it aint tricking if you got it, if i had that kind of money to spend on kicks i will go all out and get them if i really wanted them... but from a baller on a budget point of view i will try and wait it out or see if you can get a better deal

 

[eyes of hazel]

Wow.

It's interesting how the "bell curve" shifts in shoes every few years.

And I got the nerve to still be b'tching about paying Flight Club $350 after NYC taxes for these (in store) in late 2006.

[jer23]

3 months after the released I could have got them at NT in Boston. I opted for the white/navy FP 1s.

i'd say $350 would be tops for these.

 

[jer23]

btw, they were under $170 and sat for months. some may have even hit outlets. i remember people at the time saying this was the ugliest posite ever released and to be honest, in person they were pretty horrible.

 

[dmxfury]

I would like to see them in person. Speaking of expensive kicks, I did find a Japanese site that has original Furys for $950, haha. I think I'll pass for now, want to buy a new washer/dryer

 

[poosht]

Wish I still had mine...Sold them a few years back...

 

[bigty23]

They are definately an aquired taste. I've worn mine alot recently, and I got alot of different responses. Everywhere between "burn them joints!!!" to "Dude where the @&$! you find those?!?". I love how they look personally, just wish I could afford a second pair...

 

[kevmook]

you dont wanna spend that man
