Flight Club Re-Opens on Greene St.

2008-04-14T08:02:00.000-07:00

World renown sneaker-spot Flight Club has re-opened its original New York location on Greene Street after a huge renovation.

Be sure to check out the world-famous online store, and put some of your exclusive footwear of the highest quality up for sale to the masses.
