Once considered a questionable design, and one that still draws comparisons to the Nike Air Yeezy, the Air Jordan Flight 45 High has come into its own with this absolutely perfect set of four new colourways. It starts with this insane red nubuck pair (February release) with black and white accents. Another nubuck pair goes with all black (January), adding just a couple of white details so you don’t disappear. We get confirmation that the white/grey/black/red joints (February) aren’t just for kids, and while that’s exciting, the tonal grey pair that features some beautiful gradients might be the pick of the litter (March). Sneaker News will update you on all of these and everything else in store for Jordan Brand in spring ’10. via SC

The BLK ones got my attention, anyone know when they drop? & the white/red/grey are growing on me, & is that a clear ice sole on the all grey ones?

FAKE A#% AIR YEEZY’S
November 15th, 2009 at 7:09 pm
These have a old skool feel to them and a air yeezy combined. hands down some of the best non-retro jordans of all time
November 15th, 2009 at 7:50 pm
Fuck Yeezys
November 15th, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Yall are really killin me on this site. I remember back when the low top versions of these dropped and everybody was hatin now all yall wanna hop on the bandwagon cause they remind yall of Yeezys. Well I been down since day 1 and I maintain that these r sum nice kicks.
November 15th, 2009 at 8:03 pm
Yoooo dem all red and dem all black joints iz crazy 4get what ya think I’m coppin holla
November 15th, 2009 at 8:21 pm
the red and black colorway is firree. but i just dont like the shoe. they should release the IV’s with that colorway
November 15th, 2009 at 8:49 pm
lol why does everyone always compare a hightop with straps to the yeezys?
F what they say but the black and red ones are on fiyaaah.
November 15th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I keep hearin they look like Yezzys. True enough they resemble. But didnt Kanye draw his inspiration from Jay’s? The Yezzy’s are like a premium version of these. They aint bad. Id cop cause IROCKJAYS!

@10
You know how we do
@12
Yes, but then again, this wasn’t exactly a secret lol
@16
I think alot of it is that the hightop is practically a new shoe, plus these colourways are supremely designed, whereas the original Flight 45 do-ups were more along the line of the hybrid/fusion/’inspired’-design. This hightop has a feel all its own, and that grey pair is just redic
@19
Peep the midsole tooling, medial strap, high cut and silhouette overall, then tell me these don’t have anything in common with KW’s kicks. Then again, the Yeezy was a pretty dope design, so that was intended as a compliment.

#13 are you butt hurt because you paid triple retail for Kanye’s space boots and now you think your shoes aren’t as special since everyone’s comparing these to em? Calm down….it ain’t that serious…..these are nice, nobody’s gonna rock these and try playing the Yeezy card, so your Fag Swag’s still intact
November 15th, 2009 at 9:52 pm
Blacks and Greys are *piffff
Gonna rock those two as if they were the yeezys i missed out on
November 15th, 2009 at 10:21 pm
I like the greys…still waiting to see a truly dope colorway that shows off the shoe properly, the white/red/black came close but the color blocking just isn’t quite right.
November 15th, 2009 at 11:23 pm
these look like the YYYEEEEZZZZYYYYY’s
November 15th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
man these hard always been feeling these, when they drop my name is all over them
November 16th, 2009 at 12:43 am
The grey ones are nice!!!! Especially if they come with the icy sole
November 16th, 2009 at 3:43 am
I’d like to say congratulations to all the people with functional eyes that have been tritely informing us about the resemblance of these to the Yeezy…good job guys, I look forward to your next report: the color of the sky.

Grey joints are sick. These are all too high for me, but I feel no hate for these shoes. But, I got plenty of disgust at little micks that worship Kanye and his lame shoes.
November 16th, 2009 at 8:32 am
All 4 will be copped…Cool Grey ones are sexy!! Yeezy’s didn’t even come to mind until I read comments.
November 16th, 2009 at 10:15 am

November 16th, 2009 at 1:37 pm

November 17th, 2009 at 4:01 am

November 17th, 2009 at 1:05 pm
The red and the all black won me over. Why are so many Jordan kix coming out? I ain’t mad or nuthin buts it’s kinda crazy…
November 21st, 2009 at 10:48 pm

January 19th, 2010 at 3:36 am
Some are you are so stupid these shoe’s came out after the Air Yeezy.The Air Yeezy came out between late 08 and 09 then came between August of 09 the Flight 45 mids came out the hightops wasn’t even made yet so the the one you all calling a copy cat is the wrong person do your research first then go to work.
