Look at Nike's Strange Approach to This Hybrid Basketball Shoe

by Steve Jaconetta

Nike Sportswear gives its Flight Squad an upgrade for the winter with this warm release.

The latest colorway comes in obsidian, white and gum medium brown. The most striking thing here is the quilted touch on the upper – although maybe that's not all that striking considering some of the other unorthodox material choices Nike's had for this shoe. A white tumbled leather Swoosh on the sides, OG-style 'Nike Air' branding on the back heel and a full gum rubber outsole finish this pair off.

The Nike Flight Squad in obsidian/gum is available now at select Nike Sportswear retailers overseas such as Titolo.
