Back in 2000, the Air Flightposite II helped to usher Nike into the new millennium with one of the most futuristic blends of style and function ever seen on a basketball model. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the classic shoe, Nike will be re-releasing the Air Flightposite II LE in a few different colorways. A few months ago, we gave you a preview of two colorways from the upcoming Spring 2010 collection and now we get our best look yet at the Black pair. The shoe sports a simple Black on Black upper and although the Retro version sticks to the OG blueprint for the most part, there are a few noticeable changes.

Like in the case of the Air Garnett III, which has now become the Air Max III, Nike has been forced to remove the Kevin Garnett references from the Flightposite II as well. As a result, the Garnett name tab and the OBF (Official Block Family) nod have been understandably eliminated from all colorways of the 2010 version. Changes or not, it’s safe to say that they won’t stop these from being one of the most eagerly anticipated releases of the new year. Keep reading for a detailed look and be advised that these are scheduled for a January 16th drop. Via FootLockerUnlocked.
