The Glove Thread / Zoom Flight 98

Played a couple months back and saw a young blood wearing a pair of OG Gloves. His dad was there hoopin too, and I was givin him a hard time about wearing his dads old shoes.

YES!!!!  Hopefully this is a sign of good things to come.









Spotted during the NBA Jam Live event in China (a six-day NBA showcase presenting some goodies of the American sport to the Chinese fanbase) was Gary Payton wearing the Nike Zoom Flight ’98 ‘The Glove’ in a white PE colorway (you can see his classic ’20′ jersey stitched on the upper). Last November, during a quick chat with a fan, Payton alluded to a Retro release of ‘The Glove’ for the Holiday 2012 season, and although we haven’t come across any updates as of yet, we’ll certainly keep you in the necessary loop. Also present at the event were NBA stars Brandon Jennings and DeMar DeRozan, some up-and-coming NBDL players, and fellow 90′s legend Horace Grant! Check out GP and his Zoom Flight ’98s after the jump and let us know how excited you are about the ‘The Glove’ making a comeback! Photos: NBA China

Im still very excited about this because it means there is no way Nike can use the "we destroyed the mold" excuse.

This is evidence that Zoom Flight 98s are still in production somewhere, even if it is in uber limited quantity's.  It would be really interesting to find out what factory these were manufactured in.






NIKE, JUST DO IT!!! Release these already !!!
 
Hot dog, very good news. Don't like what they did to the swoosh, but even if they did release like that I'd buy
 
Payton's got style. He knows it's the best sneaker ever.

Out of curiosity, did anybody play with these with the zipper down?

Actually, I agree with TheGoldenChild, that means sh*t until we get a confirmation from a nike rep.

Unless ya'll are literally too young to remember when Payton played for the Heat, he actually wore Glove PE's left and right.  And yet we never got any release of it.

I remember. Had me all psyched 5 years ago too !   


I still view this as a great sign of things to come ! There has to be a reason why Nike has kept the equipment to produce these shoes. They have to have future plans to re-release these... eventually. I also take this as a good sign because when we finally do get some 98 retros; there is NO REASON they should not look just like the OGs, since the mold still exists. Nike can keep these if they release with some friggin Hybrid 360 soles.  


Haters can keep hating all they want but Im still very happy to see this. This is probably my favorite shoe ever and seeing GP wear new colorways (even if it is only every 5 years) gets me REALLY excited. 




This is almost like an Urban Legend to me...

...My Favorite kicks...    that have not come out in over 15 years... make a suprise appearance every few years...    

This means Zoom Flight 98s are still being made by Nike SOMEWHERE, in some factory on some island SOMEWHERE ! ...its proof positive they still exist !!!

This is like a personal "Arc of the Covenant" containing the ablilty to produce endless amounts of my "Grails" 





Its kinda like finding out Toyota has a secret manufacturing plant in Japan where they still build MKIV Supra Turbos... Only on a much smaller, less signifigant scale...

                   NOW USE IT !!!!!  AND MASS PRODUCE THESE PUPPIES ALREADY !!!!!!
 
I remember these like yesterday man...
My older cousin had the white pair, with them unzipped ON his feet when he was shot and killed in front of the crib when I was 11.....

Man one of my favorites! I remember 3 years ago SportieLA had a street sale and I snagged a pair of these in the black/white/gold colorway for $40. Biggest steal ever!! Brought me back to high school
 
everyone is getting hyped.. and for what? there has been no confirmation by any nike rep or anyone else... GP can talk all he wants, but people know that's what he's been doing his entire career... so no, i'll believe it when it has been confirmed..

nobody has these
I had them but they came in Payton's size so couldn't fit them ended up selling it.

They should so release this colorway, but no quickstrike limited bs
