Back in the summer of 1996, Team USA took on the world at the Atlanta Olympics. Penny Hardaway was in his prime, wearing the USA colorway of the Nike Zoom Flight 96 back then but in 2016, 20 years later Nike Basketball is bringing back this iconic basketball shoe in retro form. The Olympic inspired sneakers releasing this summer should have sneaker enthusiasts excited, especially those that can remember the 1990s. Although Penny helped Team USA win the gold medal back then, the Zoom Flight 96 might be better known for being worn by players like Steve Nash and Jason Kidd during the NBA season that followed the 1996 Summer Olympics. But make no mistake, the 2016 Zoom Flight 96 Retro is all Mr. Hardaway thanks to a white and navy blue upper with red and gold accents, including Penny’s jersey number “6” embroidered into the heel.
