This Nike Sportswear Sneaker Is Inspired By Gary Payton And Jason Kidd’s Shoes

A lot of Nike Sportswear’s newest creations calls on shoe designs of the past, but you’ll never guess what the new Nike FL-RUE is influenced by. This lifestyle sneaker is, according to Nike News, inspired the Nike Zoom Flight GP’s curved midsole line and the Nike Zoom Flight V’s turf-like outsole. There’s also a jewel Swoosh and Zoom Air bag, both mainstays of Nike Basketball kicks of the mid-late 90s era. Despite drawing from basketball roots, the FL-RUE (designed by Ben Kirschner) is clearly an off-the-court footwear options priced at $110. Four colorways are available now on Nike.com.
