This is exciting news for those people that have been waiting for Nike to retro The Glove. The good news is: Gary Payton recently confirmed that Nike is bringing the Air Zoom Flight “The Glove” back in October 2012. We usually find out retro news through sample or catalog images, but this is definitely a rare way of finding out about upcoming releases. Watch the video to see/hear for yourself. Special thanks to NT and TSG reader AlSneaks for the heads up.
As a sports card collector myself and fan of the game… this is an amazing post because I can really appreciate what this moment meant for you! It was great to see Gary’s response to that jersey!
@Blue – Most folks rock them for style now… don’t zip the all the way up and hook the snap which should remedy the problem. I don’t imagine they would try and fix that a this point… fashion vs. function!
I was in 8th grade when these first dropped. I literally did a happy dance when I came across the thread on NT. looks like 2012 is going to be an expensive year.
MAN OH maN is this great news or what!? cant wait to grab a pair of these….Paytons one of my favorite bball players of all time!! Yeah ive been around long enough to see Payton in his glory days on the Sonics with Shawn Kemp! These are soo clean……i wonder is this one gonna be the one with the monkey paw in the back or is this gonna have tht ratchet system on it…I def knw Cincy Bcats22 is gonna be allover these lol! oh and tokyomike i could not agree more imo its only the raptor 7 and olympic 6 for me nxt year Nike is taking the cake for the retros to come!!
MY GRAILS!!!! I had these as a kid… GP was who I modeled my bball game after…. I jumped around in my office like a kid when I read these will be released… I cant wait!!
I hope they drop the white/ university blue colorway.
Oh yeah, G-Roc, any news on those Nike Air Missions????
@Cuda – Not yet. I’m sure it’s only a matter of time.

Niocceeee! And I doubt they will sell good either. Probably will hit the sales racks where I can then double up
