Gary Payton’s NBA career has been finished for some time but he’s still ballin’ it up. Check out these images of Gary Payton aka ‘The Glove’ during the China-US Basketball Star Game 2010, wearing the late-90′s favorite Nike Zoom Flight ’98 The Glove and the New York Yankees x Future Be True x Nike Sportswear t-shirt. The shoe featured a full-zipper upper with ankle-stabilizing ‘monkey-paw’ technology under the covers for a glove-like fit. Payton’s pair does look pretty crisp – is this a pair from ’98 kept on ice or does Nike have another Nike Zoom Flight Retro waiting for us? Payton also wore a few PEs of The Glove during his Miami Heat days, and this black/silver pair looks to be another one of Payton’s exclusives, so perhaps this was just a side-project for Payton. We did get an updated ‘Retro’ of The Glove in the Nike Zoom Flight Club, but we’d much rather see the OG on store shelves, wouldn’t we? Check out the images after the jump and let us know if you’d cop a Retro. via hoopchina.

These are heat. My favorite Nikes of all time. Nike needs to get off of their ass with these clown hybrid sneakers and bring back the heat of the mid to late 90's. GP looks like he could still drop 10-12 pts a night in the NBA.

Dope. I had 'em in high school. Couldnt grab the Flint Blue 13s so I copped these and never regretted it. Re-release!
May 11th, 2010 at 6:22 am
i still have mine. wore them only a few times to ball in. i found them too flat (even with the full-length zoom air) but even worse, they didn't have good grip on the court. or maybe the grip was too good that it collected all the dust.
May 11th, 2010 at 8:30 am
black/white c.w. will buy in a heartbeat!
