Throwback Thursday: Nike Air MZ3

Nike MZ3The mid 90′s had some of the best basketball sneakers we have ever seen and 1997 might just have been the best. It was for several years that many of today’s classics were the new thing. One of the shoes often overlooked and left out of the conversation of classics from this era is the Nike Air MZ3.

Maybe the Nike Air MZ3 was not the prettiest thing to the eye, but the combination of the shoe’s forefoot Zoom Air and heel Air Max 2 made this a sure winner on the court. In fact, some may remember that the shoe’s name is derived from its combination of Max and Zoom Air.

Likelyhood of seeing this shoe return? Probably somewhere between slim and none, but no reason not to hunt for the originals in old sporting goods shops and auction sites.
