Overview: Originally dubbed the Flightposite KG, the FP II line felt some setbacks when Garnett bolted for And1. Nike even tried to appease KG by putting the OBF signature on one of the FP colorways. Overall shoe maintained the performance standard set by the FP I. Unfortunately, it also encounter a few setbacks. There's a serious comfort problem at the heel. If you wear low cut socks, expect a sore or cut achilles tendon. The zipper also was an inconvienence. The thing just won't stay up - kind of defeat the purpose of it all doesn't it? Otherwise, the FP KG is a great performance shoe, every bit on par as the first if not better. The model line is also underrated but don't be surprised to find it hot in the future.
Update (9/05): The future appears to be now. The FP II is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Collectors are scrambling to get a hand on these shoes as they are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Expect FP I type growth in the next few years. |
