OFFICIAL: Nike Flight One Holiday 2012 (New Holiday 2012 colors on the way)

1. These shoes are really light.

2. I am glad I doubled up and got sizes to make sure they fit right. The first pair I took out the box was a 7.5 and from first glance they look huge. I thought I was an 8.5 when I first saw. They do run big.

3. If you get the orlandos, double up. The quality ok, these will easily get dirty and will wear easily. Nike quality has slipped, not only in leather but there quality control. Some of my pairs had slight blemishes. Nothing major just what you would expect from nike these day.

4. The mints are beautiful, but not worth the $300 resale price.

5. I got a couple pairs that wasn't double box and I now see the complaints....eastbay/footlocker/champs needed to change there packaging....
 
My pair came in today double box with a small dent on the box but nothing too biggie....

Guess it was luck. Looking fresh. On the hunt for a second pair...
 
man if these were a regular release like all the other damn penny that are not foam,yall know these wold have hit outlets! really starting to dislike what nike is doing these days.

Nah one of each, that's why I'm surprised to see people with 3 4 pair from eastbay


The Rep I spoke with let me order multiples on the restock since it was after the official release day. Glad I asked because I assumed that it was still 1 per...
 
My Orlando's from Eastbay have to have the worst quality of any sneaker I have ever purchased before plus they ship in that stupid plastic bag so my box got all damaged. Is Eastbay just that cheap to double box?
 
Just got my Mints in from Eastbay the other day. Box was smashed in a plastic bag. They do fit .5 big imo and one of my toe "pods" is missing a bit of paint ....oh well at least I got a pair

Glad I have both, Orlando's should be here monday UPS takes forever
 
Just a head's up, there will be a retro + color dropping around the same time as the black/whites. It's white/black/varsity red. They're mostly white with black nubuck and red accents.  Basically the inverse of the Orlandos - black brushed nubuck on top, white on the bottom, and varsity red where the blue is.  They actually aren't too bad. I'll post catalog pics in a few days.

Peace,
J
 
Box came busted but I got'em.....no complaints YOLO!
