No one was more excited to be at the 2000 Summer Olympics than Kevin Garnett<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Whether it was locking up on defense, dominating one-on-one drills in practice or watching Vince Carter jump over 7-foot opponents, Da Kid was the most lit man on the hardwood, electric in every expression, reaction and possession.<\/p>\n

On his feet was his signature Nike Air Flightposite KG<\/strong>, now known as the Nike Air Flightposite II<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

While Navy\/Gold PEs graced his size 15 skis for the championship game in Sydney, it was the T’Wolves leaning “OBF” aka Original Block Family pair that’s poised for a retro release.<\/p>\n

Surfacing over the summer in the form of Nike server photos via US 11<\/a>, the Nike Air Flightposite II is finally back and the shoe itself is loaded with history.<\/p>\n

The last Nike shoe worn on court by Kevin Garnett, the Flightposite KG was the formal sequel to the Flightposite 1.<\/p>\n

This Alpha Project oddity carried over the same core components of Flightposite tooling, Zoom Air cushioning and zip-up closure, only in a more obtuse and aggressive manner. Some may recall this model returning in 2010 in Black\/Black, Black\/Zinc and Black\/Navy colorways. The “OBF” take had never hit shelves as a retro release until now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Worn by Kevin Garnett over the course of the Summer Olympics in 2000, the shoe would see wear from KG early in the 2000-01 season. However, by that December, Da Kid would dip from the Swoosh in favor of streetball start-up turned real deal brand AND1.<\/p>\n

While KG would see signature shoes and commercials with AND1 just like he did at Nike, AND1 was willing to offer what he really wanted: his own Original Block Family clothing line to pay homage to his boys back home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

AND1 would offer him exactly what he wanted though OBF Clothing never saw the production or distribution one would assume was expected.<\/p>\n

So, while KG is back with AND1 — not too late to do an OBF Clothing line now, we’re here for it! — the Flightposite II is finally back in the OBF colorway sans KG branding.<\/p>\n
