“Eggplant” Nike Air Flightposite
Posted by George Kiel III | Oct 15, 2008 After a long absence, the highly-anticipated Eggplant Nike Air Flightposite is now available at stores nationwide. Originally released in 1999, this Black/Eggplant-Metallic Silver colorway has always been a basketball favorite.
This sneaker features a zippered upper made of Posite material that provides a custom fit. It also possesses a dynamic-fit sleeve for extra comfort and support. While we’re on the eggplant theme, which pair is better: the Eggplant Foamposite or the Eggplant Flightposite?

Seeing the royal/black Solo Flights made me want to see the Flights release in that colorway even more. But the sole would have to be black, because a clear soled Flightposite would look really odd IMO.
And I will always and forever like the eggplant Flights more than the eggplant Foams. The eggplant Flights are my grails, and I believe they are the most unique pair of Nike basketball kicks ever.

Look…I’m all for art and many sneakers fall into that catagory..but these DEFINITLY don’t!!! These are just terrible. I’ve even tried them on once and all I got to say is…what the f#@%!!! They just don’t look good…absolutily nothing about them. Garbage is the word that comes to mind.

@ WHATTHE…if you don’t ‘get it’ you probably never will (period)…shoe is a work or art.

Classic my a$$

Absolutily GARBAGE!!!! What the hell do people see in these seriously??!! I never liked these and never will…and I have an eclectic taste in sneakers. These are just hype…they don’t look good with anything!!! Terrible…these should never be a best seller.

Man I blink for a sec and they’re already sold out at Niketown and various places in Manhattan. goddamnit.

Foamposite of course maybe the greatest style…
I think Penny has worn this eggplant flightposite only one time in game 4 of the first round of 1999 playoffs.

foams are much better

^^good question nikeindabutt

Never was a fan of these. However, I can see the potenial of a clear sole on it if the uppers had the right colors to flow with it.

I think this eggplant color stuff is whack
Oct 15, 2008 at 6:24 pm
A Black/Neon Royal Flightposite would be bananas. I dont know about a clear sole though just because that shoe may look odd with that. I would be straight with a black sole if they did the rest just like the Foamposite 1.

c l a s s i c NIKE
way to stick to the basics, I guess with the impending recession(possible depression) nike is starting to go with what will definitely sell.

*THOUGHT* Since Nike is dropping the foamposite in an original flightposite colorway—any chance we can get a blue flightposite with ice bottoms (ala foam 1)?
Oct 15, 2008 at 5:58 pm
These are one of my all time favorites…still have the OG pair and am HIGHLY anticipating the foams…
Oct 15, 2008 at 5:06 pm
try spelling right next time, these aiight, the foamposites look much better tho…without a doubt
Oct 15, 2008 at 4:55 pm
WuT these are the ulyist shoe ever seriously……
Oct 15, 2008 at 4:24 pm
Foamposite way better.Period.
