I really can't explain our reader comments at times.
Like the time someone earlier in the week was commenting about the original Royal Blue version of the Hyperflight, and said, "Patent Leather on this shoe is a No No."
Doesn't seem to make much sense. To me, at least.
But for everyone that wasn't a fan of the Hyperflight in patent leather, Nike Basketball sure gave you one hell of an alternative.
The Entire shoe. Snake skin engulfed. They even came up with a color dubbed "Cyber," that sure looks a whole lot like Neon to me.
It wasn't exactly the most memorable of shoes, and I'm not even really sure where this fits into a person's "lifestyle," but regardless, here's a look at the original Olive snake Hyperflight. In case you too hated them in patent leather, of course.
