The Nike Air Flight Huarache “Lakers Away” and “Black/Varsity Purple/Del Sol” colourways of Kobe Bryant’s iconic sneakers are two highly anticipated releases among sneakerheads, especially considering that these are meant to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Nike Air Flight Huarache (which originally released in 1992). Both unique colourways pay tribute to the legendary basketball player, who famously wore the Nike Air Flight Huarache sneakers during his early career. And as you can imagine, these are going to sell out very fast.

The Legend

Based on the original sneakers designed by Tinker Hatfield and Eric Avar, the Nike Air Flight Huarache “Lakers Away” colourway features a black leather upper with purple and gold accents, reminiscent of the Los Angeles Lakers’ away jersey colours. According to Sole Collector, the new sneaker model is set to release on May 27th, 2023.

On the other hand, the “Black/Varsity Purple/Del Sol” colourway has already been released, with a combination of black, purple, and yellow hues, paying homage to Kobe’s high school team colours. This colourway was made available in November 2022.

The Design

Both colourways feature the iconic Huarache technology (a unique exoskeleton design that provided excellent support and stability while also being lightweight), providing a comfortable and snug fit for the wearer. The Kobe Bryant PE logo is also featured on the tongue of the shoe, reminding fans of the basketball legend’s impact on the game and sneaker culture.

But Bryant wasn’t the only NBA star who loved the Nike Air Flight Huarache. They were also popular among other basketball players, including NBA legend Scottie Pippen.

Don’t miss out on the opportunity to to add this piece of sneaker history to their collection.
