Nike revisits the Air Zoom Flight 95, returning to the OG colorway famously worn by Jason Kidd in 1994 during his debut rookie season in the NBA.Recognized for its futurist, avant-garde silhouette, the Air Zoom Flight 95 features orb-like cutouts across the leather “Black Metallic” checkered upper, accented by a metallic silver midsole and outer sole. Eric Avar designed the silhouette as a vehicle to advance the then-Mavericks point guard, Jason Kidd, using the Zoom Air cushioning as a base for lateral spring and dynamic on-court maneuvering. Avar has also worked on Nike’s Kobe 9 Elite silhouette utilizing the Flyknit technology as a structural symbiosis of “science and art.”Named a personal favorite by sneakerhead Hanni El Khatib, the OG silhouette last dropped during its 20th Anniversary in 2015 and again in 2017 in various neutral-toned iterations with contrast piping across the nubuck upper.Along with previous models, the cursive “Flight” logo is embroidered across the heel tab, and a metallic and all-black Nike Swoosh appears at the heel and toe cap, accompanied with forward-stitching throughout. Black-and-white speckled laces complete the set.Shop the new set at Nike’s official website later this spring, listed at $160 USD.In other footwear news, Pharrell returns with a Billionaire Boys Club and adidas-assisted collab on the new “Running Dog” HU NMD set.

The Nike Air Max 90 Golf revealed another themed-out color scheme that’s full of picnic-inspired patterns. Merging golf and open-air, the garden party coloring makes use of the hybrid running silhouette and decorates it with an outdoor motif on a classic Tinker Hatfield model.Uppers are decorated in a red and white gingham design, outlined stitched swooshes and woven straw-looking mesh on the tongue and heel. The rest of the shoe is dotted with picnic accents in a noticeable ketchup and mustard color scheme. The course-ready runner is represented on the anterior, with the Air Max cell build enrobed in white. And finally, the insoles indicate a homage to Nike’s 50th-anniversary corporate gathering.Priced at $150 USD, the Air Max 90 Golf in the picnic-inspired colorway is expected to release this Spring on Nike’s official website and select retailers worldwide.In other footwear news, adidas Unveils the TOUR360 2022 Golf Shoe.
