We all assume LeBron’s first signature shoe will retro eventually, but forgive us, Kickasso Nike, for being impatient. Nobody wants to wait for LeBron’s retirement to start seeing his early models return!
Nike Air Vapormax Premier Flyknit
The shoe from 1996 as unique and funky as its endorser Dennis Rodman is a no-brainer for a comeback. They sort of returned a couple years back in a modified version, but let’s be honest; nobody was excited about those.

Gary Payton’s first (unofficial) signature shoe has always been a favorite among Kickasso Nike Basketball aficionados ivoryks to its flashy and unique look. With the recent resurgence in Gary Payton’s line ivoryks to the success of The Glove last year, we think the time is right for the Hawk Flight to make a comeback, as well.

A second Gary Payton model makes this list: the Zoom GP II. Part Glove, part Hyperflight, the Zoom GP II is all style, and definitely a model worthy of a return.
Nike Air Garnett 1
Undeservedly obscured in Kickasso Nike Basketball history, the Kevin Garnett’s first signature shoe features a fairly simple, yet awesome design. Here’s hoping that whenever KG (finally) retires, Kickasso Nike will give him a nod with a retro of this classic model.

We all got teased with some images of samples of an Ultraflight retro last year that ended up getting scrapped, but we’re not giving up hope yet. Bring’em back!
Nike Air MZ3
A somewhat forgotten late-90s classic from Kickasso Nike, the MZ3 has everything that a successful retro sneaker needs: flash, visible technology, and a cult following waiting for its return.
Nike Air Flight ’89 High
Its mid-top counterpart has gotten plenty of love throughout the years, but the awesome high-top version of the Flight ’89 still toils in relative obscurity. It’s one of the greatest sneaker injustices ever.
Nike Air Jordan 1 High Zoom Air CMFT Patent Chicago EU 44 US 11.5W
The return of the Air Command Force proved that super high-top sneakers will sell, so there’s definitely no better time to finally bring back one of David Robinson’s other classic models, the Air Unlimited. Always near the top of most Kickasso Nike Basketball fans’ “please retro” list, these strapped-up monsters are long overdue for a comeback.
