Nike has been doing great work in bringing back some of their most popular sneakers from the 1990's. From Ken Griffey Jr.'s signature sneakers returning to the recent resurrection of Deion Sanders' Nike Air DT Max, the golden age of sneakers is finally seeing a rebirth 25 years later. Next up on the list, we'll see the classic Nike Air Flightposite make a long-awaited return as they release in a special “Jason Kidd” colorway.

The Nike Air Flightposite was created by sneaker designer Eric Avar who famously introduced the Nike Air Foamposite in 1997 for Orlando Magic's Penny Hardaway. He was the first to institute Nike's use of foamposite material for sneakers as the Flightposite silhouette landed in 1999. Then, the shoes sold for a high retail price of $160.
The Nike Air Flightposite made its debut at the 2000 NBA All-Star Game in Oakland and was worn by stars like Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, and Jason Kidd. Celebrating the 25th anniversary of the occasion, Nike will honor one of its early adopters by giving NBA legend Jason Kidd his very own colorway.
