That might sound like a part of their business plan, but coming with something totally original doesn&#8217;t always translate into a hit.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Nike Air Flight Huarache<\/strong> was the product of the mastermind of Tinker Hatfield inspired by a Mayan sandal but with comfort and cushioning like none other.  Keeping the Nike principle at heart, the shoe was stripped of excess and unneeded materials to produce something lightweight as well.<\/p>\n<p>The Air Flight Huarache wasn&#8217;t exactly the hottest seller right out of the gate when it debuted in &#8217;92, but everything in history was rewritten once a group of five young punks from Michigan took the court and college hoops by storm.<\/p>\n<p>The Huarache has continued to inspire many basketball shoes and the snug fit is seen season after season, but it all originated with the OG.  Click here to get a better look at the Nike Air Flight Huarache.
