This year has served as a reintroduction of sorts for one of Nike’s most iconic basketball models, the Air Flight Huarache. With the Fab Five synonymous silhouette exploring a handful of OG and contemporary offshoots over the past few months, the high-top trim returns to its “Lyon Blue” accented effort this holiday season.
Initially revealed to be in the works back in March, the simplistic two-toned color blocking joins its OG “Varsity Purple” counterpart as the only retro offerings to be released thus far. Receiving its last release in 2015, the neoprene-constructed model rests upon pitch-dark laurels as clad nubuck upper dresses in a singular swatch of black. Stretching gloomy color matches across the exaggerated ankle straps and ole unit underfoot, a seldom collection of luminous blue hues animate the mid-foot, sock liner and branded heel counter.
The Nike Air Flight Huarache “Black/Lyon Blue” is expected to release this holiday season for a retail price of $125. In the meantime, the pair can be seen in official imagery below.
In other news from the Beaverton brand, the Futura SB Dunk Low recently surfaced in first-look images.
