What happened to the white FKS?

I was flipping through some Freeze magazines from a few years ago and saw all these white/gray FKS bindings. I remembered seeing them back then when I didn't really know about FKS, but now I never see them anymore. What happened to them? They're really sick. They were popular back in the Session 1242 days. Anyone have any?

idk havent seen them in a while. you could custom paint you bindings, that no problem and it comes out super sick.
I did some old fks155, those neon rossi color / black ones, painted them matte black and it looked so cool. Ill post some pics later maybe.

those were the freeride/bandit colors in the 2000-2003 era.
 uopward relkease on toe piece and full on fks pivot heel piece. Quite possibly the best fks ever made.

Hugo had those on his XXXX, no brakes though.... Sick bindings, but Im not sure the upward release on the toe piece is a good thing. Whats it good for,  ejecting when you backslap off a big cliff or when you land way back seat in the park?

Here are some I painted a few days ago. Looking way better than the old colors.
And black goes with everything!

That paint job look mint, nice job. What happened to those toe side pieces (I taught the toe piece was round back then!), dyou take them off so theyd look like the newer single pivot fks toes?

yeah it had those rubber ducks in between there. I removed those cause they dont hold on the paint pretty well.
Sanded the material with fine paper, spray primed it and spray painted it. ordinary spray paint. masked the din scales.
