Inspired by the early 1990’s movie White Men Can’t Jump comes this Nike Air Flight Lite. Despite being an alleged reference to the bold and brash colors of the 80’s and 90’s, none of the main characters in Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) and Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) actually donned the Air Flight Lite in their time on the silver screen. The sneaker is available now at the House of Hoops in New York City and osneaker.

    Another ridiculous retro release from Nike.

    A completely contrived colorway with an ugly clear outsole. Please stop using a clear outsole on 90s-inspired shoes. I love the shoe game–paying lots of $$ for overpriced crap.
