As basketball heads await the Holiday release of the Nike Sportswear "He Got Game" pack, the brand is giving you early access to one of the models in the collection, the Zoom Hawk Flight.

This late '90s silhouette is known for being worn by former Seattle Supersonics point guard Gary Payton as he caused headaches for players like Michael Jordan with his smothering defense. Now, for the first time since its original release, it returns to shelves in its original glory. Powered by Zoom Air cushioning, this is the sort of design that embodies the direction that Nike Basketball was heading in at the time. 

This particular "White/Black/Anthracite" colorway is new, but is close enough to the original blocking that it shouldn't offend any purists. If you can't wait for the pack, these are available right now from DTLR for $140
