Kicks Info: These are the spaceman's shoes. They are exclusively for moonwalk. They are inspired by a mosquito, or a fly. The two "metal fences" resemble a fly's eyes, and the overall smoothness looks just like a mosquito. The color (metallic gold) is also inspired by a fly. Due to its purpose of moonwalking, they are extremely durable, just like a damn mosquito.

Anyway, they are some nice shoes. They are just an excellent designed shoe. The zipper adds ankle protection and hides all the technology inside (ooks very similar to the Gary Payton Air Zoom Flight). The shoe looks very hot and stuffy to wear, but actually the "air ducts" are quite useful. This is the third member of the Foamposite family. The first was the foamposite, the second foamposite max. There are some nice color schemes of this shoe, such as white/blue and white/red, but this metallic color stands out the most.

My Story: The first time I saw sample pictures of the shoes I knew I had to have them. I loved the design and overall outlook, the smoothness. I bought these shoes in HK in 1999, when they were first released. People turned heads when they saw them, and they still do 3 years after the release. One problem with the shoe is that the zipper is too tight to be pulled, and without pulling the zipper the shoe just doesn't look good.
