With its new minimalistic approach that included the lack of a visible Nike swoosh; Tinker Hatfield and designer Eric Avar took a calculated risk that seemed to backfire early on.<\/p>\n<p>However, during the 1991-92 NCAA basketball season, 5 immensely talented freshman for the University of Michigan doned the innovative Nike model and took the world by storm with their play. Subsequently providing credibility towards the Nike Air Flight Huarache and boosting popularity.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Adaptation of the Nike Air Flight Huarache<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the Fab Five rocking the Nike Air Flight Huarache, several NBA stars rocked the minimalistic model, such as Reggie Miller and Scottie Pippen. While Pippen remained scarce with his appearance in the Huarache, mostly limiting it to the 1992 NBA All-Star game; Reggie Miller provided fans with a more consistent look as he sported the sneaker on a regular basis during the 1991-92 NBA season.<\/p>\n<p>Stacey Augmon and John Starks also made appearances in the Nike Air Flight Huarache during the early 90\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Nike Air Flight Huarache Resurgence<\/h2>\n<p>Approximately ten years after its initial inception, the Nike Air Flight Huarache reached a new generation of potential consumers as Kobe Bryant dawned the now iconic silhouette. Replacing the traditional Huarache color scheme with a more Laker themed aesthetic, Kobe Bryant was able to take the league by storm as he transitioned within the Nike brand before he would later don his own signature line.<\/p>\n<p><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<h2>Evolution of the Huarache Lineage<\/h2>\n<p>As time progressed, the Nike Huarache line has been able to transform into several variations and further revolutionize the Nike Basketball line. Starting in 2004, with the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2k4 that utilized a more reinforced exoskeleton and incorporated classic Nike Basketball designs with a modern perspective, the Huarache line began to reach new heights.<\/p>\n<p>After the success of the Nike Air Zoom Huarache 2k4, the Huarache line would grow further with unveiling of the Nike Air Huarache 2k5, Nike Air Zoom Huarache 64, and Nike Air Huarache 08 in successive years. We have also witnessed the Huarache line make its debut on the football field as well as the baseball diamond. In addition, the Huarache model has incorporated Nike Free technology into several pieces, in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Nike Air Flight Huarache re-releasing in its original form today, we take a look at the iconic model in our latest edition of Throwback Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>After the video, click through the pages to view the history of the Nike Air Huarache line.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":397746,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1224791,1225493,1219126,27],"tags":[859404,1203423,1225484],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) -
