The Nike Air Flight Huarache “Lyon Blue” Returns in 2024

Nike's penchant for honoring its past seems to bee a daily occurrence, but no tributes are more effective that a 1:1 retrospective release of a bonafide classic. This time, they're bringing back the Air Flight Huarache in its splendid Black/Lyon Blue colorway, weaving it into the tapestry of their early 2024 collection.

It's been a moment since its 2015 sighting, but the Nike Air Flight Huarache “Black/Lyon Blue” promises a triumphant return. Sneaker enthusiasts can relish in the authentic essence of the pair, which remains loyal to Tinker Hatfield and Eric Avar’s original vision. Dominated by luxurious black nubuck, the uppers stand in elegant contrast to their tonal neoprene counterparts, further echoed in the lateral caging and stealthy soles beneath.

Yet, the vibrant, titular Lyon Blue truly steals the show. These vivid touches, elegantly swathing the inner lining, artfully molded heel cage, and subtly placed brand logos on both the insole and outsole bring a splash of color to this iconic silhouette. It's a delightful juxtaposition of moody black with vibrant blue that truly captures the essence of the sneaker's legacy and Nike's commitment to honoring its classics.

Take a gander at the 2024 release below, and prepare to welcome the Nike Air Flight Huarache “Lyon Blue” later this year at select Swoosh stockists and Nike.com for $125.
