A sneaker with a zippered shroud that turns the whole shoe into a glove — one of Nike's most inventive designs ever, returning in 2026.
'The Glove' — trash-talking lockdown defense and lefty flair for the Sonics, with a shoe built literally around his nickname.
Nike designed the Air Zoom Flight '98 as a pun you could wear: a zip-up shroud that encases the foot the way Payton's defense encased point guards. It remains one of the most conceptually pure signature shoes ever made, and it returns twice in 2026 — the OG black/white in the fall and a 'Royal' colorway for the holidays.
Retro announcements land in the same alert as new signatures.
