The Nike Air Flightposite first released in 1999 and was a derivative of the original Nike Air Foamposite designed by Eric Avar and promoted by Penny Hardaway . The subsequent Flightposite model was also a hit and gained traction from top players of the era including Minnesota Timberwolves' Kevin Garnett and San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan .
Then, in 2002, the Nike Air Flightposite was featured in Spider-Man when worn by the Green Goblin, portrayed by actor Willem Dafoe. The kicks were part of the costume design for the Goblin's ensemble and later earned their "Green Goblin" moniker.
