The latest chapter in the "20 Designs That Changed The Game" saga sheds light on the the Foamposite One's even sleeker offspring. The Nike Air Flightposite starts out as a liquid (before hardening in molds), and the finished product is a fluid piece of footwear. The seamless design was what made the Flightposite a performance monster on the court. The space-age looks, however, lofted the sneakers into legendary status. Never-before-seen tactics were employed in an effort to connect your foot to the shoe. Form-fitting Foamposite material covered the majority of the upper, and a zippered shroud locked everything together. All together these aspects combined to create an extension from your body directly into the kicks. You were now locked in and ready for liftoff. [via Nike, Inc.]
