Nike Air Flight Lite “Pippen”

Just a few days ago we gave you a first look at the upcoming Nike Air Flight Lite High retro in an original colorway and another that brought back many memories of Scottie Pippen with the shoe (though he wore the low top version). We just received word, and photos, of the Air Flight Lite High colored just like the ones that Pippen wore throughout the 1991 NBA Playoffs en route to the Bulls first championship.

Pippen complimented Jordan’s performance in the Playoffs averaging 21.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 5.8 assists, but what the numbers can’t show was his best contribution during the Finals. The Lakers took Game 1 of the Finals and as a result coach Phil Jackson reassigned the defense to put Pippen on Magic Johnson. The Lakers did not win another game in the series and the Lakers’ dynasty ended at home in the Forum at the completion of Game 5.

Look for this pair of the Black/White Nike Air Flight Lite Highs in spring of next year when Nike Flight celebrates its 20th Anniversary. Pics thanks to Chicago’s Mayor.
