Nike’s retro department has started to get things right. For the past couple of years we saw many great sneakers brought back from the 80’s and early 90’s, but the bread and butter years for Nike Basketball were in the mid and late 90’s.
With new technologies in cushioning and support as well as a renaissance in footwear design, the years from 1995-1998 have been remembered as the best by many sneaker lovers.
Nike will be bringing back the Zoom Flight 95 and the Zoom Flight 96. Both were worn by Jason Kidd in his early years in the NBA while with the Dallas Mavericks
. Though we can expect many colorways (history repeats itself) these colorways are great for anyone who wants neutral dark colors for fall or Spurs fans.
The REVOLUTION will NOT be televised. When Jason Kidd dropped onto the scene in 1995, the shoe game was in for a major shake up. In comes the ZOOM technology that will eventually set the industry standard for guard-based shoes. What got everyone startled was the unique looking signature model for Kidd that was unlike any other in design. These kicks look down right alien - with huge bulging bubble eyes coming out the midsole. The look was inspired after a flying insect. Fittingly so - Jason Kidd just happened to be a player that had eyes behind the back of his head. The rest was history. The bugged out shoe became a much sought after commodity of the Golden Era. Even today, the cult following is at feverish high.
