Nike Basketball continues to dig into Jason Kidd’s late-’90s catalog, with the Nike Zoom Flight 5 “White/Midnight Navy” now expected to return in Summer 2027.

Originally released in 1997, the Zoom Flight 5 became one of Kidd’s most recognizable early Nike models during his Dallas Mavericks years, and later as a member of the Phoenix Suns. The shoe had a look that stood apart from most basketball sneakers of that era, helped by its sculpted build and the iridescent side pod that many collectors still refer to as the “bug eye.”

This White and Midnight Navy colorway also carries some history of its own. After its original 1997 debut, the pair returned once in 2008. Its 2027 release will give longtime fans another shot at one of the model’s cleaner OG-style looks.

The design keeps the familiar setup intact. White leather covers most of the upper, while Midnight Navy overlays create the main contrast across the shoe. Metallic Silver details bring back that late-’90s Nike Basketball feel, and the signature iridescent pod lands on the side panel. Pine Green accents appear on the heel, finished with Kidd’s branding.

In related news, the “Black/Lapis” pair is also set to return in 2027.
