With the 1992 Olympic Games allowing professional representation for the first time on the basketball court, Nike pulled out all the stops to ensure their athletes would be standing atop the first place podium in the best designs the brand could offer. The Summer of 1992 saw an incredible run of releases including the Air Jordan 7, the Air Ballistic Force, and the Air Force 180 — and Air Max 180 from the year prior. Of course, there were more, like the Nike Air Flight Lite II, which were overshadowed by the former, but were definitely not forgotten by fans. And now, after a slew of retro releases new and old to during the tail-end of 2021, Niek will be bringing back Scottie Pippen’s OG Nike Air Flight Lite II “Olympic” right in time for its 30th anniversary.
