The year was 2000, Nike released these Nike Air Flightposite II KG. I remember it like yesterday because I was on my high school’s basketball team at the time and could not have lived without this shoe! They were so comfortable… possibly the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. These are definitely no where to be found on sale anymore so don’t wait on it.

“Engineered to enhance acceleration and elevation, the Air Flightposite is a shrink-wrapped jump sock for the court. The hyper thin, fully integrated Foamposite upper is equipped with a dynamic fit innersleeve for comfort, and an external forefoot “shroud” for a perfect fit. A translucent toe reinforcement piece keeps toes intact and guards against wear. The midsole is cushioned for high flyers with PU-encased Phylon and forefoot and heel Zoom Air units. The solid rubber outsole features forefoot flex grooves for an explosive take-off, and an exposed full-length carbon fiber midfoot support plate offers supportive traction.” (InstyleShoes)
