By 2003 the core Flight shoe had turned into a sort of a ‘buy to cut your grass’ type of shoe despite Nike’s description of “an ultra modern flight shoe” that combines great cushioning and fit engineered for the games quickest and highest flying players. Retail on these was overpriced IMO at $85 USD and for that price you got a shoe that featured combination rich synthetic leather and full grain leather, internalized speed lacing system, synthetic rand for lateral stability, double lasted lightweight Phylon midsole, visible heel air sole unit, exposed TPU shank for torsional rigidity, solid rubber outsole with an enhanced herringbone traction pattern.
