Nike X Transformer - Megatron’ Zoom Flight Club
Words by Nick DePaula:
To celebrate the release of Transformers 2, Nike Basketball has teamed up with Hasbro for a fully licensed collaboration set that will feature three shoes, including the Zoom Sharkalaid, Zoom FP and Zoom Flight Club.
The Zoom Flight Club, styled up in a colorway inspired by Transformers villain Megatron, features a clear shroud along the upper, with abrasion resistant panels along the toe, strap and heel. There’s also a neon grid lining pattern as well as a backpainted red window that houses the heel Zoom Air unit.
Designed by Jason Petrie, the Zoom Flight Club combines the aesthetics of the Flight 89, Zoom Glove and Hyperflight. The shoes also come along with detailed packaging to tie back into the comic collecting world that has made Transformers one of the most popular franchises ever. Along the box, you’ll find original Hasbro graphics, a J-hook for hanging display and decoder profiles highlighting the robot’s powers.
Releasing July 10th in limited quantities in Hong Kong, the Philippines, Taiwan and at the House Of Hoops here in the US, expect the Megatron Zoom Flight Club to retail for $125.
