Nike Air Flightposite: the zip-shroud sneaker from 1999

The Nike Air Flightposite collection at MTHOR Shop brings together the most sought-after Flightposite retros: Black, Metallic Gold, Dusty Cactus and Jason Kidd Mavericks, all authenticated before shipping. Buying a Nike Air Flightposite from MTHOR means getting a pair checked by our experts, delivered worldwide in 2 to 8 days to your door against signature, customs included. Unveiled by Nike in 1999 and designed by Eric Avar, the Air Flightposite uses a composite shell inherited from the Foamposite and covers it with a zipped lace shroud, a silhouette worn on NBA courts around 2000 by Tim Duncan and Kevin Garnett. Shoppers comparing the Flightposite black, the Flightposite triple black or the metallic gold will find here the colourways of the Flightposite 1 that has returned to the lineup.

The signature pairs of the Nike Air Flightposite collection

The Nike Air Flightposite Jason Kidd Mavericks is the most sought-after pair in the collection: released on November 21, 2025, it reissues an iridescent Dallas Mavericks colourway created for Jason Kidd, whose original version was sold in July 2008 exclusively at Foot Locker's House of Hoops in New York, in fewer than one hundred pairs. The 2025 Flightposite Black is the most understated take on the silhouette, with a black shell and tonal zip, while the 2024 Metallic Gold plays on a metallic gold shell. The Dusty Cactus brings a pastel green to the composite shell. All share the model's construction: a shell moulded in one piece, a zip hiding the laces and Zoom Air cushioning.

FAQ — Nike Air Flightposite at MTHOR

How does MTHOR authenticate a pair of Nike Air Flightposite?

At MTHOR, every Nike Air Flightposite is inspected by our experts: box label and inner tag, texture and sheen of the composite shell, quality of the zip and its pull, sole bonding and markings. The UV lamp reveals non-compliant glues and inks, then the pair is sealed before shipping.

How does the Nike Air Flightposite fit?

The Nike Air Flightposite generally runs slightly small because of its rigid shell: most wearers go half a size up from their usual Nike size, and a full size up with a wide foot. The zipped lace shroud leaves no adjustment over the instep, which is why choosing the right size matters.

Can I return a pair of Nike Air Flightposite bought on MTHOR?

Yes. You have 14 days after delivery to return your pair, provided it is in its original condition (never worn or used, packaging intact, seal not removed). The refund is processed within 24 hours of receiving the return.
