The Nike Air Zoom Flight The Glove “White/Poison Green” is making another comeback, bringing one of Gary Payton’s original colorways back into rotation for 2027.

Payton earned “The Glove” nickname through his relentless defense, and his signature sneaker carried that same identity onto the court. The Air Zoom Flight The Glove was built with a zippered outer shroud that covered the laces and wrapped around the foot, creating the snug fit that helped give the model its name.

This pair keeps the upper mostly clean in white and black, while Poison Green appears beneath the shroud. The exposed support system, commonly known as the “Monkey Paw,” adds structure around the ankle and brings in the Seattle SuperSonics colors closely tied to Payton’s playing career.

Originally released during the 1990s, the design still stands apart from most basketball shoes from that period. Its covered lacing system, curved lines, and visible support pieces gave the model a look that was unmistakably tied to Payton.
