First introduced in 2001, the Zoom Hyperflight Premium was created by Eric Avar in response to Bill Bowerman's inquiry about making it lighter. This sneaker features a Phylon midsole, double-lasted synthetic leather, and eye-catching color schemes. In 2013, the Zoom Hyperflight Premium made a comeback with the 'Tiger' edition, showcasing a striking orange and black tiger-striped pattern that spans the entire upper. The shoe retains its original side-panel overlay and is equipped with a resilient rubber outsole featuring a forefoot insert for added durability.
