Supreme x Nike Zoom Air Flight 95
Supreme vs. Original
About the original
The Nike Air Zoom Flight 95 is a basketball shoe designed by Eric Avar and introduced in 1995 as Jason Kidd's signature model after he shared NBA Rookie of the Year honors with Grant Hill the prior season. Its defining features are the carbon-fiber 'bug eye' pods set into a visible midsole, a Zoom Air unit in the heel, and a mesh upper with suede overlays. Nike reissued the OG Black/Metallic Silver colorway in 2022 alongside the Supreme collab, which swaps the upper for paisley-printed leather with Supreme branding on the midsole pods. The collab released May 5, 2022 at $160 in three colorways: University Blue, Black, and Hemp.
About Nike
Nike is an American sportswear corporation founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and renamed Nike in 1971. The Swoosh was designed that same year by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for thirty-five dollars. Bowerman prototyped the Cortez and the waffle-sole Moon Shoe, and the Air Max line, introduced in 1987, made Tinker Hatfield's visible-air midsole a signature. Nike now produces footwear and apparel across running, basketball, football, and training, and owns Jordan Brand and Converse. Supreme has collaborated with Nike repeatedly since 2002 across Air Force 1, Air Max, and Dunk.
