Nike Hyperflight “Superhero”

Nike Basketball re-issues have been steadily dominating the scene thanks to names like Penny and Barkley, but this upcoming Retro release bears no name. In fact, it came during an era of Nike Basketball in which signature names weren’t the dominant force, but instead the concept car-like constructions from the Alpha Project distinguished by the minimalistic yet futurustic five-dot markings. The Nike Zoom Hyperflight, like many non-sig basketball shoes in the Nike catalog, has a heavy cult following due to its spage age design and its involvement in that legendary Nike Freestyle ad and its connection to Jason ‘White Chocolate’ Williams.
Sneaker News first broke the news on the return of the Nike Hyperflight back in October, and along with three special colorways representing Nike’s Big Three, a fourth colorway was confirmed as part of a ‘Superhero’ Pack. This version pops out with the sick graphic that begins at the toe, giving off the visual of incredible speed – like a space pod returning back to earth at incalculable speeds. Was this fourth colorway created with former Nike athlete Blake Griffin in mind? And if this is indeed part of the Superhero Pack, which NBA player do you think deserves this spot among LeBron, Kobe, and KD? Check out the first look at the upcoming Nike Hyperflight release (tentatively scheduled for March 29th) and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates.
dunno why yall wanted these retroed, they were ugly then and uglier now. They havent really aged well
Not bad but I'd perfer the og colors
I'd prefer Zoom Ultraflight to be retroed
I liked em better w/o the graphics hopefully these wont crack like the ones I had back in 2001

Definitely copping to ball in.... These the same shoes I was ballin in high school with.... The only difference is that I haven't seen a solid CW yet.... Thanks Nike for bringing them back out......
I've been waiting to see these... All I was seeing was sketches of these sneakers! Very well put together I wouldn't mind trying to cop a pair!

Man...Why i haven't seen any citation....This is a picture from a Hoop JRS via Hoop.com....
@yfox1122 I do not think they can understand “JRS”, Lol. Actually, via hupu.com or hoopchina.com
@ChineseDream = = Lol....
That is a dope color way. I agree that it aint really a sytling shoe, but they're trying.
Hyper flights are da shiiiiiiiit... they crease on u madd quickly but they are great shoes to hoop in.. glad to see them comin back
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite I still go mines when they first dropped, turned them to beaters, got white paint all on mines, but I still like these
@dopeman978 I wish I had kept mine homie.. like u, I beat mine til da bottoms were warped lol
I remember all the OG Colorways of the Hyperflights were on NBA LIVE 2004 Lol
The color is beautiful but I don't see this shoe doing more than having something to hoop in
