SOLE COLLECTOR: Sneakers

words by Steve Jaconetta

While Nike has continued to give both Jason Kidd (this should be coming to an end soon) and Penny Hardaway love in 2008, someone else in that mix is the great Scottie Pippen. We’ve seen both the More Uptempo and the Pippen 1 along with the Flight Lite Low. Well coming this holiday the infamous Flight Lite High will also return.

Three colorways are scheduled to be released in ‘08 with a few more as well in ‘09. October will start things off with a nice black and varsity purple colorway. It features an all black nubuck upper with accents of purple on the sole, lace lining, and inner collar. Following this colorway will be the “Citron” a month later.

The “Citron” Flight Lite High will release in November. It features an all white leather upper with accents of citron (a neon green) and black. This is a very dope OG colorway that i’m sure everyone will love. Glad to see the citron colorway making a comeback (here’s to hoping the GP I’s will comeback soon!). Then to round out the year and also make a perfect Christmas gift, the colorway everyone’s waiting for.

The white/varsity red/black colorway will be out this December. What a month that is going to be, the Air Jordan XI/XII Countdown Package along with these and not to mention the metallic silver Flightposite 1’s. Better start saving up now as that will be a very expensive month, or a great time for presents.

The Nike Air Flight Lite High will retail at a price of $112 and so far will be all limited to only urban accounts and Niketowns as well as your high-end Foot Lockers and such. For more info on this release click on the pics below and don’t forget to feel free to discuss these in our Forums.
