One of Nike’s most iconic looks returns for only the second time since 1998, but sneakerheads and athletes have a limited time to purchase a pair.

The Air Zoom Flight “The Glove” Black and White drops on Friday, July 31, at 10 a.m. ET for $170 each.

This style has earned a reputation for speed and attitude both on the court and off. Nike’s design is inspired by the brash toughness of retired NBA star Gary Payton, whom the shoe was originally made for.

The Glove’s sleek, minimalist shell might not catch your eye at first glance, but that shell conceals layers of impressive Nike technology. Plus, the shroud doubles as a containment system that hugs your foot perfectly. Underneath, you’ll find an internal lacing setup and University Red Monkey Paw support cage.

All you have to do is zip up the shoe and lock in. Let your talent do the rest of the talking. Be online early on launch day for the best chance of scoring a pair – Nike’s new shoes sell out in minutes.
