Nike Air Flightposite One "Metallic Gold" Restocking This Black Friday

 

The Nike Air Flightposite One "Metallic Gold", a basketball classic from the late 1990s, is making a comeback with a restock on Black Friday, November 29th, 2024. First re-released in October, this sleek sneaker quickly became a favorite, with resale prices now nearly doubling its original retail price of $240.

A Sneaker Icon Returns

Originally launched in 1999, the Air Flightposite One was a groundbreaking design by Nike’s Eric Avar. Known for its blow-molded composite material and anatomy-inspired look, the shoe was ahead of its time. Unlike other basketball shoes that targeted specific positions, the Flightposite was versatile enough for forwards and guards alike, including legendary players Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.

The “Metallic Gold” colorway stands out with its bold, futuristic design and has become one of the most memorable styles from the Flightposite lineup. Its last retail appearance was in 2008, making this restock a highly anticipated event for both collectors and basketball fans.

Retro Revival at Nike

The restock aligns with Nike’s ongoing focus on retro releases, including the return of the Nike KD 4 “Galaxy” and the 90s-themed GT series. These re-releases highlight Nike Basketball’s commitment to celebrating its iconic designs and their lasting influence.
