Twenty years ago, the USA Basketball team took gold at the Atlanta Olympics. To celebrate that squad, and with the Rio Games mere months away, Nike is retroing some of Dream Team III’s best shoes this summer. And today we can confirm the return of one of the better if lesser-known ones — the Nike Zoom Flight 96 Penny Hardaway PE.
Hardaway rocked the Zoom Flight 96 between his Air Penny 1 and 2, and his Olympic pair was something special. A white leather upper was inlaid with navy blue carbon fiber, while an icy outsole added a clean touch and Penny’s Olympic jersey number, 6, was emblazoned on the heel.
The 2016 Nike Zoom Flight 96 Penny Hardaway PE is expected to return not only sporting that same colorway, but even featuring that number 6 on the heel. Retro done right. Stay tuned to Nikeblog for solid release info, and get a look at the previous release below to see what you can expect.
