Nike Flightposite 3s...

[ill legal operation]

Anybody have any idea if Nike has any future plans for these?

Man they hurt like a ***** breakin' in, but definitely some of my favorite kicks ever...

...had 4 pairs of these back in the day - for those who had 'em, what was your favorite color way?

 

[da hen]

They would bomb but I loved the design, ran thru at least 5 pairs back in the day

 

[l knicks fresh knick l]

agreed they would bomb. dope shoe. but they would sell horribly

 

[Hahahaha]

Sold my last pair a few years ago, got good money for them too.

Don't think they'd sell well today.

Also think Nike could mess them up badly. Wouldn't have the straps or the eyes on them.

 

[sharpshooter718]

I had the all black the black and blue and the navy battlegrounds.... Definitely the most comfortable sneaker I ever wore...

 

[langfor5]

I really wanted the all blk pair for summer AAU when I was in 8th grade but I had just got the XV.
I can remember when these were on eBay for sub 30 bucks and never pulled the trigger. Smh.

 

[swoosh72]

Bought the first color after release date August 2001. These were fire at the time they still are. I'd like to get these back. Nike do these right please

 

[Air_raw09]

I got hyped when I read the headline for these...i thought they were releasing lol but ya I'd love to see them back

 

[AIR J XIII]

Not sure how these would turn out, given the recent treatment of the FP1.

I can't even imagine the colorways

 

[SORIANOTRON]

TB's on eastbay >>>>>>

 

[jigga boi]

I had a few pairs of the TB colorways, that upper strap would always get unbuckled but the Zoom insole was bananas, so much cushioning.

OG black/blue all day. I had a pair my senior year. I’m old lol.

 

[ill legal operation]

When Eastbay opened the flood gates it was on - I copped a pair of white/grays...

...not sayin' y'all are wrong, but why do you think they wouldn't sell if released again?

The OG Blk/Blues were my favorite tho - gimme those and no complaints from me...

 

[engineer]

I had the black pair with red straps. Wish I hadn’t gotten rid of those since they were pretty rare. I’d love to see a retro but they’d definitely butcher them.

I loved them. I was working at Niketown NY when they dropped. I had the Blk\Blue and the Platinumposite color way. I missed out on the gold Battlegrounds color way. I feel they wouldn't sell well because, the Posite line is an acquired taste. Very acquired taste. Also, they're very expensive.

 

[shogun]

Really ugly looking shoe.

 

[da hen]

Really ugly looking shoe.

They are but I love the design, looks futuristic even today

 

[Hahahaha]

I remember them being one of the most comfortable shoes I ever owned.

Damn near all colors were on clearance except the Platinum pair and that's cause they were limited.

I got the gold from Marshalls for $40 and I would always see the navy blue battlegrounds pair but never in my size. I wanted those bad.

 

[youngthundercat]

Loved these had about 4 pair. I would also peel off one the bubble skin. Def would cop if they were released again. They hurt like crazy breaking them in.

 

[dhtowng]

Honestly, before they go on to retro these they really should focus on fixing the flightposite 1. They need to “right their wrongs” there first before focusing on anything else flightposite related. I hate them for what they did to the FP1 .

 

[engineer]

Best colorway by far.

 

[sharpshooter718]

Best colorway by far.

2nd maybe 3rd best

1.blk/ Royal blue
2. All black
3. BLK/red

Imo

I had the navy battlegrounds.. lost them in transit from Japan to Cali. Those were on sale for like a buck on camp foster. Lol

 

[fdub]

I had the black/blue pair and the all black pair.

8/1/01 for the black/blue pair. I remember a lot of people had these my 9th grade year along with the black hyper flights. Those were the 2 back to school shoes That year here in the DMV. I would like to see them come back, but I dont think they will sell well. They went on sale back in 01. My feet are narrow and they were painful as far as breaking them in, so I can imagine how a person with wide feet would feel. The Zoom Air was extremely responsive.

 

[5o'clockShadowBoxer]

Had the blk/blue joints like most, but the gold battlegrounds were my absolute favorites. Cult classic sneaker mos def

They'd sell (I'd cop) but to a very small "niche" customer group imo. So either Nike makes it a very limited release or treats it has a "normal" release and we wait for the outlet steal price.
At the end of the day, most "ain't up on this!"
