no. it's still foamposite material, just with a textured CF print. it's not an actual CF weave.

I remember your pics...

argh... wear em!!!

I'd, very much, like a pair of those...

That first pair he posted was mine, they were pretty worn but still looked brand new. I sold them for 225 last year, when I could have gotten twice that muchfor them. Iam a foamhead and I just didn't like them all that much, but I got asked a million questions when I wore them. I regret selling though, but ohwell...

[mattdaincredible]

those shoes are to sick

Because everyone is hopping on the Flightposite bandwagon. The same people who said they were ugly now all of a sudden like them. It's either one or theother, you can't have it both ways.

I think it's more of the foamposite bandwagon.

[wrctiatobe]

[wigglez25]

these are sick....BUT not for 800$

 

[praxis83]

i've like these ever since i first laid eyes on em back a couple years ago. i got outbid at $250 on ebay a year or so back, so i'd say demand has beenpretty steady.
