ROFLMAO.
I think to much red for me, however wish everyone luck who wants them.
Likewise, might get a second black and second white pair, once price drops.

best colorway we have seen so far of the non-og IMO are the Sonics. Could have done without the black stripes and just plain green, but all good. Glad some will have a "shot" at them. These don't seem to have a HUGE following outside of those who appreciate them for what they were. Nice to see.

Air Zoom Flight The Glove QS
630773-300
Legion Pine/Tour Yellow
$150
http://www.nike.com/us/en_us/c/spor...glnsw_brs_12032013_ho13_social_theglove_st_tw
The stories told about Gary Payton’s game span across regional borders throughout the United States. He spent respectable amounts of time – and garnered countless accolades – in Oregon, California, and Florida among others. However, it was Seattle, Washington, where Gary Payton evolved from a player into a legend. And there’s no mistaking which colors the Glove will always be best remembered in – green and yellow. In collaboration with Sole Collector magazine, we present the Air Zoom Flight The Glove.
The Glove stays true to original form by featuring a zippered shroud and monkey-paw technology for increased lateral support. However, this marks the first time that a graphic has been applied to the design. Inspired by a barrier breaking sonic wave, the print recalls GP's glory days in Seattle. Payton's signature can be found stitched on the shroud's closure along with his nickname ("GP") and number ("20") on the shroud's sides.
Available December 7th at nike.com/sportswear and at select Nike locations.

"In the modern era of sneaker themes and evolved colorways, we often see stories drafting off of various aspects of a player's life, off-court interests or hobbies.
When we sat down at the start of the year to begin working on a collaboration version of "The Glove," Gary Payton's iconic shrouded signature shoe from 1998 designed by Eric Avar, this wasn't the time to overthink things and randomly pull from a reaching theme or draft off of a car or watch. The inspiration came rather easy, and came straight from Gary.
With colorways of his most beloved sneaker already in the works that paid tribute to his collegiate days at Oregon State and his other pro stops, it was Gary's beloved Seattle SuperSonics and the city where he played thirteen seasons of his Hall Of Fame career that he wanted to honor most.
"All of Seattle is my throne," Payton joked just before entering the Basketball Hall Of Fame -- as a Sonic -- this past September.
He may have worn the team's newer colors during the 1998 season that The Glove was originally released, but the mandate from GP this time around was simple: "No brick [red]. Classic Sonics colors!"
With that in mind, a Pine Green base featuring an all-new "Sonic Wave" graphic upper covers the shoe's zip-shrouded upper, with a burst of Tour Yellow seen once unzipped and along the translucent outsole insets. The shoe also takes on details that only Gary's original PEs featured, with hits of "GP" and "20" along the heels.
In terms of design, the shoe's shrouded look has certainly been an element that's made it feel modern even fifteen years later, but according to designer Eric Avar, that actuallly wasn't quite the initial intent:
"We did not originally plan on shrouding the shoe," Avar reveals. "We were working with the Advanced Group, and we were working closely with [developer] Tom Foxen. He had done a lot of the original performance design of the monkey paw. We had a number of designs going [utilizing it], and we were getting great feedback from our weartesting on this lightweight comb structure which was working awesome. It was exactly what we hoped for and exactly what Tom had hoped for in terms of offering a very lightweight and semi flexible system that provided excellent ankle support.
"So we kept working on the design, and at the time, there was a lot of fingery design in terms of straps and what not going on. It almost started to feel a touch too complicated. What’s great is that it was working for us, but we just wanted to have that balance. We had the science behind it covered, but aesthetically we just couldn’t get to a point where we felt comfortable with the monkey paw being a simple and modern and very wearable solution. So we just collectively decided to wonder, 'What if we just put this skin over the top of the shoe?'
"We used the analogy of a Ferrari, in that a Ferrari is essentially just this skin surrounding an engine. A Ferrari is almost all engine, but that skin is beautiful. So we just wanted to make the shoe more beautiful, because we’ve got the engine, the performance and everything figured out. So we thought, 'What if we just literally pull this skin around it and make it very simple and very modern?'
"I wouldn’t say design at the time was busy, but there was definitely a lot of technology and a lot going on with shoes, so The Glove was interesting and almost a complete departure towards utter simplicity at the time. I think that was one of the more unique things about that shoe and about that time, and of course, it was perfect for Gary Payton's nickname."
Made for the only point guard to ever win the NBA's Defensive Player of the Year award, it goes without saying that perhaps no other shoe personified the player quite as well as Eric Avar's shrouded and locked-up look of "The Glove."

Do you really have to ask?
The closest I'll get to these are the pictures. We already knew this collaboration would be hard to get to begin with.

Only one pair on eBay for $2,500... Please tell me resale will be much much lower than this. As a Canuck I would like to get these and not pay out the rear for them

I wouldn't chat much about it within the thread- the more people see pages grow nearing release, the more "astute" they get to if they should cop for no good reason- if you catch my drift......

Yeah well I see the listing was made before the release announcement so maybe at the time they were impossible to get and worth substantially more? Just looking for an idea because I'll pass on a few releases to cop these if they will be going for a premium. Hoping someone on here has an idea of numbers produced or if anyone even likes the glove enough for astronomical prices... I mean they all sat here in Canada and were an EZ-Cop for me.
May be out to lunch thinking these will remain reasonable...

No way these reach the 1k mark.
Gloves don't have enough steam to get that much hype. If super limited, maaaaybe couple hundo over retail, if that.
Don't be too worried yet people.

Previous sc collabs haven't been released to the public..... I'm sure these won't be gr #s, but I have a feeling they'll be easier to get than people think. As long as you pay attn and have a game plan.
Just my .02
