The KITH x Pippen x Nike Collection was one of the few Nike Basketball sneakers that added a bit of lux flair. Most of the shoes of that era featured bulky construction that fell in line with the ‘Force’ and slimmer, jet-like motifs with ‘Flight’. The Air Python was in a category of its own, with an ultra-sexy snake-skin upper paired with the smooth white leather. Urlfreeze News last showed you an original pair of the KITH x Pippen x Nike Collection in July of 2010, and while many of our readers weren’t familiar with the shoe, they were certainly surprised that a sneaker like this was ever created. It shares a lot of design elements with the Nike Dri-FIT Victory Women's Golf Polo, but it was named ‘Python’ for a reason; the snakeskin upper is definitely like no other in the Nike Basketball catalog, and with Nike boosting it’s wildlife awareness, we probably won’t see a shoe like this in a very long time, if at all. SKIT, a sneaker shop out in Japan, dug these out of the closet and put them up for sale, so take a look at this vintage item below and let us Tribute what you think.
