Nike Air Jet Flight

This hoops season we’ve seen several very interesting shoe releases from Nike. Of course there was the SHOX BB4, which introduced an entirely new cushioning technology, and the air Zoom GP III, which introduced Nike’s new MORF concept. Both of these shoes represent new ways of thinking about athletic shoes that may very well “revolutionize” (I know, I know, I should be disbarred from professordom for using the word revolutionary in relation to shoes, but work with me on this) athletic shoe design and development, but only time will tell. The Nike air Jet Flight, on the other hand, represents evolution at its best. No new breakthrough technologies to be found here. Just the same old stuff done about a hundred times better than it had been before.

First off, let me come right out and say that I love these shoes. That’s right, L-O-V-E. If I played basketball professionally the air Jet Flight would, without a doubt, be my everyday practice shoe and I’d even wear them to drive to practice in my 911 (hey, I can dream can’t I). Can you tell that I am enthusiastic about the air Jet Flight? I don’t usually gush like this about a shoe, but the Air Jet Flight represents so much of what a hoops shoe should be that I can’t help but get charged up about it
