Middle School Joints - Nike Air Flight Lite 91' Retro
I have been a HUGE fan of the Nike Air Flight Lites ever since they originally dropped in 1991. I was just a baby Sneakerhead but my love for Nikes was in full effect. My Dad let me buy the Dee Brown Omni Zone Pumps and I was very happy with my selection so I couldn't complain. Other than a pair of Jordan's, my next selection would have been the Air Flight Lites. Here's a pick of the OG colorway that my buddy Dave was rockin' on our middle school basketball team.
Nike has finally graced us with a retro of these joints and they definitely did not disappoint with the high colorways. I've seen rumors that the "Citron" aka neon yellow colorway will be available in October for $110 and the White/Red colorway in November. The OG blacks that Scottie Pippen used to wear will probably be available at some point around that time as well.
Available RIGHT NOW are the following three colorways for $100. I'm not really a huge fan of any of them but if I had to make a choice I would go 1) Blue 2) Black and 3) Red. If the Black had a white swoosh instead of the all black, those would take the cake hands down. I don't understand why Nike would put out such heinous colors for the retro. I would have thought that the Hi-top versions would have come out first as well. I'm not complaining though because I thought these would never see the light of day again. The Hi's will be copped in the fall:
This is only a Photoshop that someone made but I think these would sell much better than any of those three:
