Originally released in 1997, the Nike Air Hawk Flight is a cult classic that became popular by association in the midst of the 'Golden Era.' Most remember the shoe being worn by Hall of Fame point guard Gary Payton or by Jesus Shuttlesworth in the film He Got Game.

The Air Hawk Flight is a quintessential 90s silhouette, highlighted by flowing lines and a large 'liquid metal' inset along the lateral quarter. While a date hasn't been announced, the model is on its way back to retail for the first time since its original release. Below is an early look at the retro in White/Black-Red.
