Nike’s Air Flightposite is getting a vivid rework. Crafted in a colorway similar to the royal palette of the New York Knicks in the ’90s, this 3/4-height silhouette comes dressed in a racer blue molded upper that’s equipped with a luxurious black zip-up/lacing system. Hits of total orange land on the pull tabs, panel, heel and tongue Swooshes, resting on top of a high-vis rubber outsole for a bright pop of color.

The Nike Air Flightposite “Racer Blue/Black/Total Orange” is available now on nike.com and select retailers for $200 USD.
