The Air Zoom Flight first hit the scene back in 1995, which clearly explains why the ‘95 was attached to the name. During that time period Jason Kidd was known for rocking several Zoom Flights including the Zoom Flight 95. At the time it would have been appropriate for Nike to name them Air Zoom Kidd Flight, but they didn’t. Instead they went with Air Zoom Flight and due to the carbon fiber pods people immediately started referring to them as “Bug Eyes”. The design was something new to Nike’s footwear line and the advanced technolgy raised the bar for basketball shoes. OK, so maybe they were extremely comfortable and eye catching, but the use of carbon fiber set them off like fat laces in shell toe Adidas. Yes, Nike made other colors in the Zoom Flight, but the carbon fiber joints were the most attractive.
