Nike will bring Christmas cheer to sneakerheads with the re-release of the Nike Zoom Flight 95, just in time for the holidays.
As of late, the brand has opened its large vault and have generously re-mastered a number of its signature shoes. The reintroduction of the Zoom Flight 95 however will keep the iconic shoe untouched. The classic black and white colorways will remain and the construction of the shoe will also be kept the same.
2015 marks the 20th anniversary of the basketball shoe that gained popularity when it was worn by NBA legend Jason Kidd. The Zoom Flight 95 was meant to have a futuristic design and even in 2015, its unique shape still evokes a sense of futurism 20 years later. Today, the neutral colorway and timeless design will perfectly accent any outfit.
