Nike is bringing back the Nike PG 1 “Flip The Switch” in 2026, giving fans of Paul George’s early signature era something to get excited about again. Even with Nike pushing new faces like Ja Morant and Sabrina Ionescu, there’s still a real lane for models that defined late-2010s basketball style. And the PG 1 sits right in that sweet spot.

This retro sticks closely to the original 2017 makeup. The mix of Black, Deep Royal Blue, Photo Blue, Blue Fury, and Hyper Violet still hits hard, especially along the midsole fade and that unmistakable forefoot strap. Sneakerheads remember how the PG 1 blended support and simplicity at a time when Nike Basketball was shifting its design language. That’s the kind of detail longtime hoop fans always bring up.

Designed by Tony Hardman, the model launched during George’s two-way dominance in Indiana and quickly earned respect among guards who valued its low-to-the-floor feel. Seeing it return now feels like the right moment, especially as George moves into the later chapters of his career. The nostalgia factor is real with this one.
