The Nike Zoom Flight Club is an emerging sneaker from Nike’s world famous basketball line. Taking inspiration from Gary Payton’s Nike Zoom Flight 98, the Zoom Flight Club hosts a perforated leather upper with a Nike Swoosh near the front and a zipper going right down the middle of the sneaker. The Nike Zoom Flight Club has been stirring up various opinions on the net, and some NBA athletes have begun to rock the sneaker on the courts. In the start of the season, most NBA players wore the Nike Hyperdunk, then the Nike Huarache ‘09, Nike Blue Chip and other various sneakers began to show up, and now the Nike Zoom Flight Club has started to make its presence felt. A plethora of athletes including Caron Butler, Andre Iguodala, OJ Mayo, and Larry Hughes are now rocking player exclusive (PE) colorways of the Nike Zoom Flight Club on court. Be sure to check out the pictures after the ‘jump.’

With the plethora of new colorways of the Nike Hyperdunk and the Nike Zoom Kobe IV (4) being released as of late, a new sneaker for Kobe Bryant may come a surprise to some sneakerheads. There is no doubt that the Hyperdunk and ZKIV are two of Kobe’s best sneakers, and Nike hopes to continue their recent success with Bryant’s sneaker, the Nike Dream Season. The Dream Season takes much inspiration from the Zoom Kobe IV including key aesthetical aspects such as Kobe’s signature on the heel and a similar notch outsole. The Nike Dream Season is also set to yield a Phylon midsole and an air unit in the heel for added support and comfort. The Nike Dream Season is set to make its debut in Fall 2009. Via Kenlu.
