A classic Nike Basketball sneaker is on its way back to the market.

Gary Payton remains one of the best defensive point guards in the history of the NBA. While playing for the Seattle SuperSonics, it was well-documented that Payton could shut down some of the best players in the game, seemingly at will. Had he been guarding Michael Jordan for the majority of their NBA Finals series in 1996, there is a chance things could have gone a lot differently. Regardless, Payton was a phenomenal player at the time and had his own signature sneaker line to boot.

Many fans will probably remember the Nike Air Zoom Flight "The Glove" for its unique yet bulky aesthetic. According to Instagram sneaker insider @solebyjc, the shoe is actually set to make a big comeback soon. As you can see in the post below, the shoe is returning in all of its glory but with a white and green translucent mesh upper.

There is no official word yet on when these are set to return so be sure to keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest information, as soon as it becomes available.

In the meantime, let us know if you're excited to add these back into your collection.
