Gary Payton
When: 1998-2002
Shoes: Nike Air Zoom Flight 98 The Glove, Nike Air Zoom GP-Air Payton IV
After checking MJ in the ’96 Finals, Gary Payton’s star started to grow considerably far past the West Coast. After many successful years on the Flight Camp, Nike gifted GP with the aptly named Nike Air Zoom Flight 98 The Glove at the ripe age of 30. Following the shoe’s success, Gary got four more signature models from the Alpha Project, all very experimental in design. While The Glove has come back to rave reviews, we’re still waiting on the rest of the best from GP.
