Time back to June 16,What’s Nike Air Hyperflight Shoes Like in Your Memory Articles 2001, it was really ten years past, when Nike Basketball's Flight series appeared, they marked a new trend of the NIKE shoes, its streamlined appearance and futuristic design also contributed to the development and progress of the world's shoe design. The bright color and its fake pearl effect made Hyperflight a hot topic as soon as it was listed and the Hypeflight shelves were all sold out. So many years past, other shape design is unable to go beyond this classic, and when you go everywhere you can see its shadow.
The perfect performance of Hyperflight throughout the 2000s, has proved that a new era of shoe industrial design was started. Eric Avar, as the designer of these shoes, has devoted more energy in the design process compare with other shoes, so the reward he had got was really deserved. The design inspiration of these shoes did not from a car, or simply from the athletes' needs, or from the shoes complex story, he was simply inspired by a NIKE company partner.

Avar explained, when he was only a layman of Nike, far from those proven success of Bill, he just followed the footsteps of these predecessors to go forward.

"Bill's Nike story is just my design inspiration, so the significance of him is equal to me", Avar stressed.

With the constant development of the basketball shoes, street ball culture emerged, hip-hop appeared, players were constantly promoting their own personality, the presence of these factors have also decided the need for this arrogance and fearless spirit product-the Hyperflight.
Ten years past since the birth of Hyperflight, its design principle is still work in today's design requirement. When people recall the ten years development of basketball shoes, many companies adopted the physical buffer of a molded plastic upper and stiff. But for Hyperflight series, the antiquated color and old design, it made constant failure and damaged and tarnished the reputation of Hyperflight, no one shoe can compare with the former Avar.
